Pear Mail in CHROOT Apache

[Brian_A]

Hi

I need to get apache which is chrooted to acces pear. So I tried first a test like this, but it fails and cannot see why.

mkdir -p /webroot/usr/share/pear
cd /webroot/usr/share/pear
cp -avr /usr/share/pear .

chown apache:apache /webroot/usr/share/pear -R

/etc/php.ini
include_path = ".:/webroot/usr/share/pear/pear"

apache restart

then run: www.idole.com/infoTest.php

<?php
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

require_once 'System.php';
var_dump(class_exists('System'));

/*
* To change this template, choose Tools | Templates
* and open the template in the editor.
*/


//set_include_path('');
phpinfo();


?>

produces:

Warning: require_once(System.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/vhosts/idole.com/httpdocs/infoTest.php on line 7

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'System.php' (include_path='.:/webroot/usr/share/pear/pear') in /var/www/vhosts/idole.com/httpdocs/infoTest.php on line 7

So I guess there is something I don't see here. Can anyone help me fix this please

What is Apache's chroot directory?

Hi

Unless I'm mistaken it is:

/var/www/vhosts/chroot/

You could copy Pear files to Your docroot and refer to them in Your scripts.
It should work as long as the paths will be corect.

Thank you for the point in the right direction. I'm a little nervous about this on two counts. 1. I'm new to Linux and there are many things I'm still having to learn. 2. This is a production server, which I did not set up.

I think I should do the following:

cd /var/www/vhosts/chroot/usr/share

cp –avr /usr/share/pear .

chown apache:apache /var/www/vhosts/chroot/share/pear –R

vi /etc/php.ini
************
Include_path = ”.:/var/www/vhosts/chroot/usr/share/pear”

Does this seem correct?

This could work.
If the Include_path doesn't work, try

Include_path = ".:/var/www/vhosts/chroot/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/pear"
