php doc_root set with custom php.ini per domain

[Zagorax]

Hi all,

I've followed this guide:

http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=183

But I've set a per domain php.ini.

My .ini file is read and you can see it here:

http://bran-dun.org/php_info.php

The content of custom.ini is:

[PHP]
doc_root = /home/brandun/domains/bran-dun.org/public_html

Unfortunately, if I do:

<?php print_r(scandir('/')); ?>

It prints the server root contents and not the domain public_html contents.

Where am I wrong? Thank you very much.

Hello,

doc_root as far as I see it, does not transform / to /home/brandun/domains/bran-dun.org/public_html

PHP's "root directory" on the server. Only used if non-empty. If PHP is configured with safe mode, no files outside this directory are served. If PHP was not compiled with FORCE_REDIRECT, you should set doc_root if you are running PHP as a CGI under any web server (other than IIS). The alternative is to use the cgi.force_redirect configuration below

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.doc-root

scandir — List files and directories inside the specified path

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.scandir.php

p.s You've got safe_mode = Off

Unfortunately false.
In Admin->PHP Settings I've 'ON' both safe_mod and open_base_dir for that domain. Do I need something else to make i working?

However, I have read that safe_mode was erased from newer php version. So, is there any way to avoid root listing without safe_mode?

And are you aware of any way to set php document root the same as the server document root? So that '/' will point to the document root in php, too.

Cheers,
Zag

If I'm not mistaken, these settings do not effect suPHP, you need to use individual php.ini (per user) and enable them (safe_mod and open_base_dir) in php.ini.

And are you aware of any way to set php document root the same as the server document root?

No, I am not.

Maybe this:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.chroot.php

Or you might want to try to run php-fpm in a chroot'ed environment.

I've already seen that solution but unfortunately that function needs root privileges to run, so it unsuitable for normal users.

Thank you.

Why don't you try to run php-fpm in a chroot'ed environment then?

I may try it when I have free time
