safe_mode_exec_dir appears to have no effect

[Ian.H]

Hi all,

I've been testing out some configs on this box out of curiousity more than
anything, but looking at various sites and of course, php.net regarding
safe_mode_exec_ dir, it appears that if I specify a directory here, that
binaries within should execute even with safe_mode enabled.

I copied ImageMagick's mogrify binary to /safeweb/bin and included:


safe_mode_exec_ dir /safeweb/bin/


in php.ini. However, this seems to have no effect whatsoever and the
thumbnail is not created (written within the directory tree permitted by
open_basedir).

Has anyone here had a similar problem or know of any solutions /
workarounds for this? Am I missing something blindingly obvious? Any info
appreciated =)


TIA.



Regards,

Ian

Have you reloaded/restarted your httpd?

How do you call the binary, and what does that call return you?

exec($_im_cmd);


I know it works perfectly as expected if I kill safe_mode.. so I know the
script itself is functioning fine... the dir the thumb images are going in
are chmodded 0770 so no write permission hassles. Everything works with
safe_mode disabled.. just the safe_mode_exec_ dir setting doesn't seem to
matter =\

Oops.. I should have added also:


$_mogrify = '/safeweb/bin/mogrify';
$_im_cmd = $_mogrify . ' -resize ' . $width . 'x' . $height . '! ' .
$this->thumbs_dir . 't_' . $image;
