We have some sites that call on files in other users directories, mainly for our multisite CMS.

We do have open_basedir protection on and there are exceptions in place. This has worked flawlessly for years for all previous 4.x releases.

We've just tried to upgrade to 4.1.1 on two different servers and the same behaviour is seen.

The sites cannot see the files in other user directories. Permissions are correct, open_basedir still set correct too.

If we switch back to 4.1, everything works as normal. Switching back to 4.1.1, it breaks again.

When we enable errors, PHP can't seem to find the files, but they're there and work OK in 4.1 - and we're using the same PHP version too (i.e not recompiled that).

Has something changed in the workings of LiteSpeed to perhaps, chroot them to their own directories that isn't in the changelog?

maybe relate to symbol link ... can you change "allow symbol links" etc and see if 4.1.1 works fine.

XN-Matt · #3 06-15-2011, 04:22 AM

I'll give it a try but none of the paths are symbolic.

Edit, settings are already.

Follow Symbolic Link Yes
Check Symbolic Link No

And 4.1.1 doesn't have "Server Snapshot" anymore in it's panel Home

Yes, it is removed from the home page to improve performance.
Just use the status page.

How about a reply to the initial issue reported?

We cannot use the new release.

I am referring to the issue you reported below. Can you be more specific about it?

Not really.

After upgrade, we get a PHP error stating the file not found, although it exists.

If we switch back to 4.1 it is fine, with no error.

I.e a script in /home/user1/public_html/ is trying to access a file in /home/user2/public_html/ - works in 4.1, but not in 4.1.1.

Permissions are correct and user is allowed.

Looks like some chroot is being enforced, even though it never has had a problem before.

please post a snippet of code in question.

XN-Matt · #10 06-21-2011, 02:38 AM

Just any basic php include will show this problem.

The php then errors stating the file cannot be found, when it does exist.
