[Resolved] setlocale does not work for php as a suEXEC daemon

[bobykus]

Here is a code - example from php site

phptest1.php

<?php
/* Установка голландской локали */
var_dump(setlocale(LC_ALL, 'nl_NL'));

/* выводит: vrijdag 22 december 1978 */
echo strftime("%A %e %B %Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, 12, 22, 1978));

/* попытка использовать различные локали для  немецкого языка (с PHP 4.3.0) */
$loc_de = setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE@euro', 'de_DE', 'de', 'ge');
echo "На этой системе немецкая локаль имеет имя '$loc_de'";
?>

http://bvc.name/phptest1.php

returns

bool(false) Friday 22 December 1978На этой системе немецкая локаль имеет имя ''

Command line php

 /usr/local/lsws/lsphp53/bin/lsphp -c /usr/local/lsws/lsphp53/etc/php.ini ./phptest1.php
string(5) "nl_NL"
vrijdag 22 december 1978На этой системе немецкая локаль имеет имя 'de_DE@euro'

ANy clue why?

the issue is because

setlocale(LC_ALL, 'nl_NL')=false

I did simple tests on local box, it's working well as on command line

>setlocale does not work for php as a suEXEC daemon
1. does it work on non-daemon mode ?
2. does it work under apache ?

Yes, the issue is because setlocale returns false.
Have no idea if it works in other modes - we have no litespeed QA teem here, sorry.

 

[bobykus]

And yes, this is related to php 5.3.xx only. 5.4.xx is fine fine.

Are you using cageFS? try disable CageFS for this user temporarily see if it works.
Maybe the Locale files are missing under that cage, causes PHP failed to set the locale.
Otherwise, please add "sleep(30)" at the beginning of the script, then you can locate the process serving the script and strace it to find out what happened.

 

[bobykus]

No, just plain CentOS6. I'll add sleep and check it of course.

Ah, OK,

open("/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive", O_RDONLY) = 9
fstat(9, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=99158576, ...}) = 0
mmap(NULL, 99158576, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 9, 0) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory)

Sorry - my bad. Limit for external app was too tight.
