    Hi everybody,

    i have php5 running as apache mod and php4 as cgi.
    in my apache config i set an open_basedir for each vhost.
    is it possible to set individual basdirs for php4-cgi too?

    I want to forbid users to acccess files of other users. all user dirs have the same uid and guid (FTP setup is pureftpd with virtual hosting)

    Can you post your vhost configuration here?

    In httpd.conf:
    Code:
    ScriptAlias /php4-cgi "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/php4"
    
    AddHandler php-script .php4
    Action php-script /php4-cgi
    for .php4 files to be parsed with php4-cgi

    a sample of a vhost config:
    Code:
    <VirtualHost *:80>
            ServerAdmin [email protected]
            ServerAlias domain www.domain
            ServerName domain
    
            DocumentRoot /home/www/domain/htdocs/
                                                                                    
            <Directory />
                    Options FollowSymLinks
                    AllowOverride None
            </Directory>
            <Directory /home/www/domain/htdocs/>
                    Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                    AllowOverride None
                    Order allow,deny
                    allow from all
                    php_admin_value open_basedir /home/www/domain
            </Directory>
    
    <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/php4">
    php_admin_value open_basedir /home/www/domain
    </Directory>
    
            ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/www/domain/cgi-bin/
            <Directory "/home/www/domain/cgi-bin">
                    AllowOverride None
                    Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
                    Order allow,deny
                    Allow from all
            </Directory>
    
            ErrorLog /home/www/domain/log/error.log
            LogLevel warn
            CustomLog /home/www/domain/log/access.log combined
            ServerSignature On
    </VirtualHost>
    The part <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/php4">
    php_admin_value open_basedir /home/www/domain
    </Directory> was just added for testing but has no effect on php4-cgi...

    I'm not quite sure if open_basedir, safe mode, etc. work for PHP-CGI because it was developed primarily for mod_php. For the CGI versions you can use suExec and suPHP.

    safe_mode is already working because it was defined in php.ini
    I got an idea... maybe it will work with parameters to php4-cgi...

    Now its working fine... the solution if someone is interested:

    create a direktory to store a php4 startscript for each user like /var/www/php4

    then create a bash script named domain or so in this directory containing
    Code:
    #!/bin/sh
    unset SERVER_NAME
    unset SERVER_SOFTWARE
    unset GATEWAY_INTERFACE
    unset REQUEST_METHOD 
    /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php4 -d open_basedir=/home/www/domain '$*'
    then edit the vhost apache config and add:
    Code:
    ScriptAlias /php4-cgi "/var/www/php4/domain"
    AddHandler php-script .php4
    Action php-script /php4-cgi
    4 env variables are dropped but safemode with open_basedir is working :)
