## #12353 — Unknown Sender — 2004-08-26T01:41:56+00:00

Hello all...

I just upgrade PHP from version 4.3.4 to version 4.3.8. After the
upgrade, almost everything worked fine but the open_basedir directive.

The server I administer provides hosting for several domains, all of
those with its own homedir restricted using open_basedir <domainhome> in
a <Virtualhost> scope. Some especial directories, for example the
webmail directory, is there only one, but it is shared by all the
virtualhosts (http://<virtualhost>/webmail/). I achieve that using (en
httpd.conf):

Alias /webmail "/apache2/htdocs/horde/imp"
<Directory /apache2/htdocs/horde >
        php_admin_flag safe_mode off
        php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /tmp
        php_admin_value open_basedir "/"
</Directory>

This worked fine until the upgrade. After it, I get a message claiming
that the open_basedir directive is in use, and that
"/apache2/htdocs/horde/imp" is not in (/).

I guess this could be an error in the open_basedir implementation (or
just a change), but I am not sure. What I saw is that in recent version
there were a lot of "move" around open_basedir code.

Can anybody help me with this? is there any patch I could apply to solve
this?

Thank you!
