Description of problem: On one side, this is a code snippet from /usr/share/pear/Horde/Core/Factory/Dns.php if (is_readable('/etc/resolv.conf')) { On the other side, this is part of the http configuration file for horde which is distributed with fc18 horde package (and most probably several other variant RPMs): php_admin_value open_basedir "/usr/share/horde:/etc/horde:/usr/share/pear:/tmp:/usr/share/php" This states that the http engine should not be allowed to access any data outside the specified directories when running horde code. It is clear that both statements are contradictory: testing whether you can read /etc/resolv.conf, but also installing a rule that you cannot access it. The only net effect are repeated useless error messages in the syslog like this one: Oct 23 16:19:22 XXXXX HORDE: [turba] PHP ERROR: is_readable(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/etc/resolv.conf) is not within the allowed path(s): (/usr/share/horde:/etc/horde:/usr/share/pear:/tmp:/usr/share/php) [pid 30697 on line 15 of "/usr/share/pear/Horde/Core/Factory/Dns.php"] Oct 23 16:24:22 XXXXX HORDE: [turba] PHP ERROR: is_readable(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/etc/resolv.conf) is not within the allowed path(s): (/usr/share/horde:/etc/horde:/usr/share/pear:/tmp:/usr/share/php) [pid 30697 on line 15 of "/usr/share/pear/Horde/Core/Factory/Dns.php"] Oct 23 16:29:22 XXXXX HORDE: [turba] PHP ERROR: is_readable(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/etc/resolv.conf) is not within the allowed path(s): (/usr/share/horde:/etc/horde:/usr/share/pear:/tmp:/usr/share/php) [pid 30697 on line 15 of "/usr/share/pear/Horde/Core/Factory/Dns.php"] Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): horde-3.3.13.fc19 horde 5.1.4 upgrade turba 4.1.2 upgrade How reproducible: , then upgrade (via pear upgrade) horde and turba to the mentioned levels. Access the horde system. Steps to Reproduce: 1. install horde from fc19 RPM (verify the horde.conf contents) 2. using pear upgrade and/or install, get horde 5.1.4 and turba 4.1.2 3. log on to the horde system 4. check the messages system log or httpd logs for open_basedir related errors. Actual results: See PHP ERROR log above Expected results: no errors: either horde should not read /etc/resolv.conf, or open_basedir should not forbid it. Additional info: Note that turba is only needed as it calls Dns.php. Most probably there are other horde modules using it. Similar bug submitted to the horde bug system, where they refuse to recognize this as a bug because they don't manage the horde.conf file.

Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
