ISPConfig 2 open_basedir problem, PHP 5.2.10/ISPConfig 2.2.35

    Hi there,

    Trying to deploy a new ISPConfig 2 install as a replacement for an older server. I'm running ISPConfig 2.2.35 on Ubuntu 9.10, with suPHP.

    One website I'm trying to get running uses PHP's curl functions, and in particular I'm getting this error:

    Code:
    Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /var/www/web8/....... on line xxx
    (details removed for security reasons!

    Now, PHPs safe mode is definately NOT turned on for this site, but testing phpinfo() on that server reveals that open_basedir is set to /var/www/web8

    That's certainly NOT set anywhere in a php.ini, and it's not set anywhere in Vhosts_ispconfig.conf, so I'm struggling to find where that is being turned on, and it's not anywhere from the website code. On the old server it's migrating from, open_basedir doesn't appear to have a value.

    More information: PHP is at version 5.2.10 on the newer ubuntu server, and at 5.1.6 on the older fedora server I'm trying to decommission. On the new server ISPConfig is at version 2.2.35 and the old server at version 2.2.19.

    I've also noticed that the newer PHP seems to contain the Suhosin patch (hardened PHP) whilst the old one doesn't. Could that be it?

    Any help gratefully received,

    Neil

    Also not convinced suPHP is working properly, but can't prove it yet...

    Further to this information, I'm not convinced there isn't a problem with the ISPConfig install. Bear in mind this is an installation transferred from a previous install as per this post:

    http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showpost.php?p=16488&postcount=2

    When I make a change via the ISPConfig admin interface, it doesn't actually seem to be happening on the server. The apache config seems to be syntactically correct (apache2ctl configtest reports no problems) but Vhosts_ispconfig.conf is never changed no matter what I do.

    I have found the latest config file here:

    /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/multidoc/edit/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf

    But that's not being updated at all, however it seems that /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/multidoc/edit/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf is being updated

    Finally, I tested an identical server config (but without ISPConfig) also running Ubuntu Karmic, to see if open_basedir was being forced, and it wasn't, so it's definately something with my setup.

    A few issues here, I really really hope someone can help!

    Thanks once again, Neil

    I have solved the first part of this at least, I edited /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/suphp/usr/bin/php-wrapper and removed " -d open_basedir=${BASEDIR}", which immediately solved the problem. Not sure this would survive any upgrade though.

    Still need to get the rest of the control panel working though...

    That path seems to be totally wrong. On Ubuntu and Debian, the file should be in /etc/apache2/vhosts. What's the output of
    Code:
    ls -la /etc/apache2/vhosts/
    ?
     
  7. zetnsh

    zetnsh New Member

    I know! It's really wierd. I have set the correct path in the ISPConfig settings by the way...

    ls -la /etc/apache2/vhosts/ gives the following output:

    Code:
    total 20
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-03-28 22:16 .
    drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 2010-03-30 09:17 ..
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9944 2010-03-28 22:16 Vhosts_ispconfig.conf
    
    BUT - the file date is wrong on that. Odd!

    Thanks once again, Neil

    What's the value of the server_path_httpd_conf field in the isp_server table in the ISPConfig database? It should be /etc/apache2
     
  9. zetnsh

    zetnsh New Member

    Interesting! It's

    Code:
    /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/multidoc/edit
    Which anyone can see is not quite right... can you tell me what it should be for my system? Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic...
     
  10. zetnsh

    zetnsh New Member

    Incidentally, I've tried changing this to /etc/apache2 and it's no better

    falko Super Moderator Howtoforge Staff

    Did you do any changes in ISPConfig after you changed the database field so that the backend could rewrite the configuration?
     
  12. zetnsh

    zetnsh New Member

    Yes - I did, I made a several changes including some in the extra configuration directives bit which should have forced a rewrite I would have thought. I just can't find where it's getting that setting from at all

    This may also help: I think quite a few things in here are wrong, and I'll compare them against the previous (correctly working) installtion:

    Code:
     mysql> select * from isp_server\G

    I HAVE FIXED IT!!!

    I had a hunch this was an operating system issue with ISPConfig not set up for the right O/S.

    All I did was to re-install ISPConfig2 on a new server (fine - I had 2 to confugure anyway), and copy it's isp_server table across to the broken server, and then I just edited things like the IP addresses and hostnames. Restarted the ISPConfig service, and it now works as it should. Thanks for the tip :)
