Hi,

Has anyone else had a problem with the open_basedir restriction
completely ignoring what you tell it? I've added several directories to
my allowed path (separated by colons) in my Apache configuration file,
and then when I go to run my scripts, I'm told that
/home/sites/site1/web/ and so on is not in my allowed path of
/home/sites/site1. Trailing slashes don't change anything. A little weird...

This is on Linux with PHP 4.3.11. Several bugs on bugs.php.net from 2002
reported similar behavior, but I don't think it's really been corrected.
If this is a bug, it's a serious one from my perspective, because it
means I turn off those restrictions entirely, which makes my entire
server less secure.

Thanks,

Aaron
