[Bug 701765] Re: Unknown: Failed opening required '/usr/share/phpmyadmin/index.php' (include_path='.') in Unknown on line 0

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: php5
  
  In package php5 (5.3.2-1ubuntu4.6) for Ubuntu Server 10.04.1 LTS, I have
  a bug regarding open_basedir setting in php.ini (using libapache2-mod-
  php5). phpmyadmin is within the allowed open_basedir resrictions, yet
  there is an error anyways saying it's not. It worked great using the
  configuration below with php5 (5.3.2-1ubuntu4.5)
  
  My configuration::
  open_basedir = /home/:/tmp/:/usr/lib/php5/:/usr/share/phpmyadmin/:/etc/phpmyadmin/:/var/lib/phpmyadmin/
  
  What is expected to happen::
  No error, it should work seamlessly.
  
  What happens::
  I receive an error message (below)::
  PHP Warning:  Unknown: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/share/phpmyadmin/index.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/:/tmp/:/usr/lib/php5/:/usr/share/phpmyadmin/:/etc/phpmyadmin/:/var/lib/phpmyadmin/) in Unknown on line 0
  PHP Warning:  Unknown: failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in Unknown on line 0
  PHP Fatal error:  Unknown: Failed opening required '/usr/share/phpmyadmin/index.php' (include_path='.') in Unknown on line 0
  
  Current workaround::
  Add . to the open_basedir restrictions.
  open_basedir = /home/:/tmp/:.:/usr/lib/php5/:/usr/share/phpmyadmin/:/etc/phpmyadmin/:/var/lib/phpmyadmin/
+ 
+ Additionally, using a configuration such as this also seems to work as a workaround:
+ open_basedir = /home:/tmp:/usr/lib/php5:/usr/share/phpmyadmin:/etc/phpmyadmin:/var/lib/phpmyadmin
+ 
+ Note: Please read the "open_basedir string" section at
+ http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php . Using slashes at the end of the
+ open_basedir paths is perfectly valid. Using no slashes causes a regex
+ wildcard type matching, where /etc/phpmyadmin would also match
+ /etc/phpmyadminanythingelsehere, but /etc/phpmyadmin/ matches ONLY that
+ directory.
