PHP permissions on different vhosts

[dtbaker]

Hey all.. been pulling my hair out on this:

Scenerio:

have two domains on one server:
/home/httpd/vhosts/domain1.com/httpdocs
/home/httpd/vhosts/domain2.com/httpdocs

domain1.com runs a php script which needs access to other domains 'httpdocs' directories.

eg: /home/httpd/vhosts/domain1.com/httpdocs/edit_me.php

<?php

$domain_name = "foo.com";
$site_root = "../../../$domain_name/httpdocs";

if(( $fd = fopen( "$site_root/welcome/site_pages.inc", "r" )) == NULL ){
  echo "Could not open: $site_root/welcome/site_pages.inc";
  exit;
}

etc...
?>

here's where i have a brain fart:

if i copy /home/httpd/vhosts/domain1.com/httpdocs/edit_me.php over to /home/httpd/vhosts/domain2.com/httpdocs/edit_me.php

http://domain1.com/edit_me.php works fine... but running
http://domain2.com/edit_me.php doesn't..

I do not get a fopen error from php or from the echo "Could not open: $site_root/welcome/site_pages.inc"; part.. the script just.. stops ?

I have changed file permissions under both domains and the accounts have full read access onto those files...

I'm left with wondering if there is a chroot environment setup for domain2 and not for domain1...

this is where I need ur help... how do i check if a domain hosted on this plesk server is running in a chroot..?

and how do i disable a chroot?

thanks heaps..

Dave.

You don't write what error message your'e getting - would help a lot!

But I guess your problem should be found in your open_basedir settings?

Your PHP for domain2 should be restricted into only includeing files from within it's own path. As should by the way also the php runned from domain1.

Sorry for not making it clearer:

> I do not get a fopen error from php or from the echo "Could not open: $site_root/welcome/site_pages.inc"; part.. the script just.. stops ?

Yes there were 'no' error messages, even after telling /etc/php.ini to display everything,

The script just stopped executing when it tried to open the file.

open_basedir is not currently set to anything in /etc/php.ini

i cant find any site or vhost specefic php configuration files.... any idea where they reside?

cheers heaps

Found it:

/home/httpd/vhosts/domain1.com/conf/httpd.include

has:

#php_admin_value open_basedir "/home/httpd/vhosts/domain1.com/httpdocs:/tmp"

but in domain2.com's httpd.include this option is not commented out.

thx

Dosen't matter what the open_basedir setting in your php.ini says - what is specified in your httpd.conf setting?

Put:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

in a .php file in domain2 and see what the open_basedir setting is (local value)...
