Bug 1262481

Could you confirm that you made the directory where this PHP script is writing, is writeable by the Apache user?

You could try to "chmod ugo+rwx /path/to/mountpoint/parent/of/php/dir".

Also check if this is not blocked by SElinux or other security frameworks.

Apache has full write access there are absolutely (100%) no restrictions.

This php code works perfect (but uses system calls):

system("mkdir testdir");
$d = dir(".");
while(($etg = $d->read()) !== false) {
   echo htmlspecialchars($etg) . "<br />";
}
$d->close();
system("rmdir testdir");

I think this is related with the way php is creating a file or directory.

BTW - same problem with creating and removing files.

Could you post the output of "ls -ld /parent/dir/where/php/creates/a/dir" and the error messages that the script gets or logs somewhere?

Can you please try mounting glusterfs with enable-ino32 and check if the problem persists? thanks.

 gluster volume set gv0 nfs.enable-ino32 on

does not help, still the same problem php can not create directory

Can you please try mounting your volume as

mount -t glusterfs -o enable-ino32 ... 

and check again? thanks.

Yes, this is much better now. php can create directories now


Altough php still can't read directories

<?php
echo "-----------<br />";
echo "read dir<br />";
echo "-----------<br />";

$d = dir(".");
while (($eintrag = $d->read()) !== false) {
   echo htmlspecialchars($eintrag) . "<br />";
}
$d->close();
?>

ist not working on glusterfs vol but reads on ext4 vol

same code, same server, two virtualhosts in apache, one rootdoc on glusterfs the other on ext4

What is the filesystem that you are using for gluster bricks? If it is ext4, can you please try if readdir works fine with a xfs based gluster brick? Thanks.
