ID: 49039 Comment by: 1minus1 at gmail dot com Reported By: sant9442 at gmail dot com Status: Feedback Bug Type: CGI related Operating System: win32 only - Windows PHP Version: 5.3.0 Assigned To: pajoye New Comment:
Hi! I've just upgraded from PHP 5.2.10 to PHP 5.3.0 and had a problem similar to the discussed one: every attempt to load (with Apache) any php web page failed with the following error: Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required 'C:/usr/www/test.php' (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in Unknown on line 0 After a while I happened to understand that the problem is related to symbolic links (directory junctions). On my system (Win XP SP3) the "C:\usr" folder is a junction to "D:\usr". The easiest way to reproduce this bug is by calling the CLI PHP interpreter. C:\>type c:\usr\temp\test.php <?="OK"?> C:\>php c:\usr\temp\test.php Could not open input file: c:\usr\temp\test.php C:\>php d:\usr\temp\test.php OK --- 5 minutes later --- Hmmm... I tried to reproduce the problem on some other "artificially created" folders and symlincs, and I happened to be unable to do so! And what is more, when I removed the "c:\usr" junction and re-created it - the problem (with Apache and the example above) disapeared! I don't know now how to interpret the problem, maybe that was a "bad link" (in some way), but the fact is: it *happened* and I've clearly seen it happening several times with 5.3 and not happening with 5.2. At least I hope my report can help some googling "poor guys" like me to to get a clue on what is happening. :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-10 15:18:09] paj...@php.net Which windows version do you use? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-10 15:17:13] paj...@php.net Hi, I was not able to reproduce this problem using: F:\wc63>dir <JUNCTION> http [F:\wc63\http-1234] <DIR> http-1234 and the following call: ..\obj\Debug_TS\php-cgi.exe f:\wc63\http\pwe\t.php X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.1-dev Content-type: text/html included F:\wc63\http-1234\pwe script being: <?php echo "included\n"; print_r(getcwd()); Are you sure about the last line of the processmonitor log? G:\files\php\php5-3-1-snapshot\pwephpinfo.php NAME NOT FOUND As it is not only missing a back slash but the path itself is completely wrong. It should have been: D:\wc63\http\pwe\phpinfo.php If you still get the same (wrong) results, please give me a way to reproduce it. Using one directory tree (D:\wc63\http with D:\wc63\http-1234 for example) and how exactly you call php. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-23 23:15:20] sant9442 at gmail dot com Sure thing! Btw, take a look at the last line for the 5.3 Process Monitor dump, where it shows: G:\files\php\php5-3-1-snapshot\pwephpinfo.php NAME NOT FOUND Notice that it is missing a slash, so it seems its pointer movement is off by one somewhere in the code, and I think this might be part of the GPF that might occur as mentioned in bug #49040. Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-23 23:02:57] paj...@php.net Thanks for the clear explanation :) Ok, so it may be related to a bug with junctions and symlink in 5.3. I will check it while working in the other related bugs (august, not before :). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-23 23:02:25] sant9442 at gmail dot com Small followup. I used SysInterna's ProcessMonitor and what I found, that PHP 5.3 has a REVERSE ORDER LOOKUP of symbol link vs PHP 5.2.6 For example, for PHP 5.2.6, Process Monitor shows: IRP_MJ_CREATE D:\ SUCCESS IRP_MJ_DIRECTORY_CONTROL D:\wc63 SUCCESS IRP_MJ_CLEANUP D:\ SUCCESS IRP_MJ_CLOSE D:\ SUCCESS IRP_MJ_CREATE D:\wc63 SUCCESS IRP_MJ_DIRECTORY_CONTROL D:\wc63\http SUCCESS IRP_MJ_CLEANUP D:\wc63 SUCCESS IRP_MJ_CLOSE D:\wc63 SUCCESS IRP_MJ_CREATE D:\wc63\http REPARSE IRP_MJ_CREATE D:\wc63\http-4529 SUCCESS IRP_MJ_DIRECTORY_CONTROL D:\wc63\http-4529\pwe SUCCESS IRP_MJ_CLEANUP D:\wc63\http-4529 SUCCESS IRP_MJ_CLOSE D:\wc63\http-4529 SUCCESS IRP_MJ_CREATE D:\wc63\http-4529\pwe REPARSE IRP_MJ_CREATE D:\wc63\http-4529\pwe SUCCESS IRP_MJ_DIRECTORY_CONTROL D:\wc63\http-4529\pwe\phpinfo.php SUCCESS In PHP 5.3, it does it reverse manner: IRP_MJ_CREATE D:\wc63\http-4529\pwe REPARSE IRP_MJ_CREATE D:\wc63\http-4529\pwe SUCCESS IRP_MJ_DIRECTORY_CONTROL D:\wc63\http-4529\pwe\phpinfo.php SUCCESS IRP_MJ_CLEANUP D:\wc63\http-4529\pwe SUCCESS IRP_MJ_CLOSE D:\wc63\http-4529\pwe SUCCESS IRP_MJ_CREATE D:\wc63\http REPARSE IRP_MJ_CREATE D:\wc63\http-4529 SUCCESS IRP_MJ_DIRECTORY_CONTROL D:\wc63\http-4529\pwe SUCCESS IRP_MJ_CLEANUP D:\wc63\http-4529 SUCCESS IRP_MJ_CLOSE D:\wc63\http-4529 SUCCESS IRP_MJ_CREATE D:\wc63 SUCCESS IRP_MJ_DIRECTORY_CONTROL D:\wc63\http SUCCESS IRP_MJ_CLEANUP D:\wc63 SUCCESS IRP_MJ_CLOSE D:\wc63 SUCCESS IRP_MJ_CREATE D:\wc63\http SUCCESS IRP_MJ_FILE_SYSTEM_CONTROL D:\wc63\http SUCCESS IRP_MJ_CLEANUP D:\wc63\http SUCCESS IRP_MJ_CLOSE D:\wc63\http SUCCESS IRP_MJ_CREATE G:\files\php\php5-3-1-snapshot\pwephpinfo.php NAME NOT FOUND So PHP 5.3 symbolic link logic resolution logic seems broken :-) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
