Why are PHP file operations failing

[mik3ca]

I ran a test.
I made a special ram folder for my website. I managed to update the document root indirectly in the apache config to reflect that.

Suppose my folder and file structure is this:

In /myweb/public is index.php, the public file.
In /myweb/include is test.txt, a testing text file.

For every file and folder (include /myweb itself), I used the exact same linux group and user names for the domain. For permissions, I used 755.

Index contains this:

<?php
echo file_get_contents("/myweb/include/test.txt");
?>

For good measure, I executed the script from the commandline (SSH) as follows:

cd /myweb/public
php index.php

And I got the expected results, the contents of test.txt.

However, if I run it from a remote web browser, I get nothing, and my error log claims that the file /myweb/include/test.txt does not exist even though it does.

I also ensured open_basedir is disabled and I'm using PHP 8.0.

How can I fix this? Any fast answer is appreciated.

Hello,

Selinux? AppArmor? CageFS? Jail?

None of those. I'm using Cent0S 9 steam as the OS. No jailing.

I read online that my document root should exactly match /myweb (and not a symbolic link to it).

So I tried to setup a subdomain with:

|*if SUB="sub.domain.com"|
|?SDOCROOT=/myweb|
|*endif|

But when I checked the config files after issuing a "da build rewrite_confs", The document root is "/myweb/sub" instead of "/myweb" despite me using SDOCROOT instead of DOCROOT.

But it got worse.
When I make the document root this way, I get an HTTP 403 error with this error:

[proxy_fcgi:error] ...AH01071: Got error 'Primary script unknown'

But the index PHP script will load if I set the document root to anything within the user folder (say /home/user/domains/sub.domain.com) and then bind it as follows:

cd /home/user/domains
mkdir sub.domain.com
mount --bind /myweb  sub.domain.com

However in all cases I have set the user and group name and permissions correctly to match the user.

So what else could I be doing wrong? I want to run my website off a ramdrive

It might mean you've got either custom templates or outdated directadmin version.

Which DA version do you run?

da v

According to another ticket of yours, you're running users in Jail. If this is the case, then it explains the issue.

p.s. You opened multiple tickets with different subjects and content, but they almost all are about one and the same issue.
