symlink to roundcube webmail displays "No input file specified."

symlink to roundcube webmail displays "No input file specified."

I've created a symlink to the /webmail directory on my main website on all of my client's websites. It works fine on the main website, but on all of the client sites it says: "No input file specified."

 

Are symlinks allowed for the virtual hosts?

 

I'm not sure, here is what's in mysite.com.vhost file:

<Directory /var/www/criticalwire.com/web>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/clients/client1/web1/web>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

 

Hm, symbolic links are allowed... Are there any errors in Apache's error log?

 

Here we go:

Code:

[Sun Mar 07 10:55:25 2010] [notice] mod_fcgid: call /var/www/site1.com/web/webmail/index.php with wrapper /var/www/php-fcgi-scripts/web7/.php-fcgi-starter

..not that I can make any sense out of it.

 

Oh, you're using mod_fcgid. I guess it is a permissions problem because /var/www/site1.com/web/webmail/index.php isn't owned by the correct user and group.

 

Hmm, well who should it be owned by?

I wasn't unaware that I was using the mod to be honest.

 

The problem is that each mod_fcgid web site requires another user and group. I think it's better to use mod_php in this case.

 

Still no luck, same problem when I changed it to mod_php.

EDIT: Forgot to add it to mod_php to the client. But now I'm getting a screen when trying to view the webmail page on the client.

 

With the following in the error.log of the client:

Code:

[Tue Mar 09 12:23:13 2010] [error] [client 192.168.1.50] PHP Fatal error:  Unknown: Failed opening required '/var/www/clientsite.com/web/webmail/index.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in Unknown on line 0

 

This is super frustrating. It's obviously a permissions error, but I can't seem to figure out what permissions to give to one; the symlink, and two the webmail folder everyone is being directed to.

 

This was the only way I was able to resolve the problem:

edit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/sitename.com.vhost

and change to:

Code:

php_admin_value open_basedir none

Is this safe to do? And if so, how can I make it so that it automatically does this when it creates a new site?
