Apache Style Configurations

[zoom]

When overriding php directives in LiteSpeed under "Apache Style Configurations" for a vhost template which server variables are available to reference?

Doing this works:
php_admin_value error_log /www/$VH_NAME/logs/php_errors.log

Doing this doesn't work
php_admin_value error_log /www/$VH_ROOT/logs/php_errors.log

We will make $VH_ROOT, $VH_DOMAIN, $DOC_ROOT work in next release.

Thanks mistwang!

Seems this ability got removed from 3.3.18. I can not longer use the variable $VH_ROOT in the Apache Style Configurations.

 

[mistwang]

It should not be.
Which version you upgrade from? Tried switch back?

Mistwang,

I've tried all the way back to 3.3.16 when I first reported it. The following fails to work correctly.

php_admin_value open_basedir /usr/share/pear:/www/$VH_ROOT:/tmp
php_admin_value error_log /www/$VH_ROOT/logs/php_errors.log

However, if I replace $VH_ROOT with $VH_NAME it seems fine.

The value of $VH_ROOT would be for example: /www/home.com

Does it mean $VH_ROOT never worked? We need to know which version works if there is so we can track the code changes.

mistwang,

When I made the request I was running 3.3.15. Prior to the official release of 3.3.16 I was able to download 3.3.16 and upgrade. I was sure this version (3.3.16) was patched to allow $VH_ROOT var within the Apache Style Configuration.

Where do you use the variable for? server level, vhost level, vhost template.

We tested vhost template, seems work well.

mistwang,

I'm using the variable at the vhost template level. The value for $VH_ROOT at the template level is /www/$VH_NAME. Then I have the following Apache Style Configurations for the VHOST template.

php_admin_value open_basedir /usr/share/pear:/www/$VH_ROOT:/tmp
php_admin_value error_log /www/$VH_ROOT/logs/php_errors.log
php_admin_value log_errors On

This causes the site to report the following error:

Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required '/www/testsite.com/www/index.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in Unknown on line 0


Changing the value to $VH_NAME for the "Apache Style Configurations" works.

 

[mistwang]

We tried similar configuration at vhost template level, still works.

I think the problem is that, for some reason the "open_basedir" configuration has not been applied at all, not that $VH_ROOT does not get expanded.

How about the $VH_ROOT in "error_log" configuration?

mistwang,

Same deal for the error_log. I created a test php file with a parse error which is displayed when I access the script. However. I don't get a php_errors.log file. Based on the following admin values it should have created the file.

php_admin_value error_log /www/$VH_ROOT/logs/php_errors.log
php_admin_value log_errors On

 

[mistwang]

Since "$VH_ROOT" is "/www/$VH_NAME", should not
php_admin_value error_log /www/$VH_ROOT/logs/php_errors.log

be

php_admin_value error_log $VH_ROOT/logs/php_errors.log

?

If the directory /www/www/$VH_NAME/logs/php_errors.log does not exist, the log file will not be created.

You can verify the value with phpinfo() page

mistwang,

You are correct! I completely missed the fact the $VH_ROOT contained the /www portion. Therefore the template would have been trying to create the file in directory /www/www which doesn't exist. Thanks for spotting it! It's amazing how something so simple can be easily missed.
