Subject: Problem with php_value open_basedir and apache containers
From: addw@phcomp.co.uk (Alain Williams)

I have just run into this, there is a much earlier similar issue in Apache bugzilla
where they refer the problem php:

    https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24120


In the apache config file I have the something like the following in a virtual
host definition:

    php_value open_basedir "/var/www/InternalFacing/:/usr/share/pear:/usr/local/php"

    <Directory "/var/www/InternalFacing/html/MyHidden">
        php_value open_basedir "/var/www/InternalFacing/:/usr/share/pear:/usr/local/php:/var/somewhere/"
    </Directory>

A php script inside /var/www/InternalFacing/html/MyHidden cannot open files
under /var/somewhere/. If I comment out the first 'php_value' (ie outside the
<Directory> container) it works ... but not if I leave it in.

So: it seems that 'php_value open_basedir' does not interact properly with
apache containers.

I am using httpd 2.2.15 and php 5.3.3 on a Centos 6 system.

Regards
