DemonWareXT's questions

We have the following setup:

• /var/www/public <-- DocumentRoot
• /var/www/functions <-- php Functions
• /var/www/config <-- php configurations

Via apache vhost configuration we open the basedir:

php_admin_value open_basedir "/var/www/functions/:/var/www/config/"

Now if I include a document under functions or config from public, that works as expected. But if I include a config from within functions that does not.

so:

/var/www/public/index.php can include ../functions/test.php

but

/var/www/functions/test.php can't include ../config/config.php

open_basedir restriction in effect. File(../config/config.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/functions/:/var/www/config/) in /var/www/functions/test.php on line 1067

Any thoughts on this maybe?

Thanks and kind regards

Additional Info:

If I include with full path it works, as in include_once("/var/www/config/config.php"); instead of include_once("../config/config.php");

Our problem:

The client, a normal user, has to be able to reset multiple passwords at once. Around 30 in one go. This would call for powershell or something along these lines, but for AD and Powershell one needs to be domain administrator.

My solution would be to make a service that runs on the AD server and take connections from a program. The service would then do the AD changes.

So far so good, I would just like to hear some other thoughts on this problem. Because I sure can't be the only one with it
