Curl and open_basedir/safe_mode?

[fafdk]

Hi Fabian

I have the following error when I try to remote sync:

[05-Aug-2013 10:32:18] PHP Warning: curl_setopt(): CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when safe_mode is enabled or an open_basedir is set in /var/www/web/wp-content/plugins/wp-filebase-pro/extras/amazons3/S3.php on line 2137

I’m running with “open_basedir=on” my dev-host, as well using Fast-CGI. I do NOT have safe_mode on.

I can see that you have the following in ../amazons3/S3.php:
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);

Someone here is suggesting a workaround:

I’m not a PHP guru, so I’m a little confused here.

Is there something I can do to prevent the error, as I do not want to disable open_basedir?

Thx

I will move my dev-site to my host at the datacenter, to see if it can make it work a little better. Here at home I’m running an old Debian Squeeze, at the datacenter I have a CentOS 6 running. Furthermore I have 100Mbit/s there and 10Mbit/s here 🙂 – so the sync should perform better at the datacenter.

At Amazon S3 I have a bucket full of folders with mp3’s, all sorted and all. When I sync with S3, all I get is one file per folder at most. It would be nice if I just could import the folder-tree as is, but I think the curl error is stopping the process.

Thx for now.

Hi FAF,

are there actually issues with the S3 sync? It should work fine, even with the warning, since S3 server does not usually redirect.

I think commeting out the line

//curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);

in S3.php
is better than the workaround because this makes 2 HTTP requests if open_basedir is on.

Let me know if it works.

Regards
Fabian

Hi Fabian

Yes, it runs a little more smooth with the option disabled. I still need to understand how the plugin utilizes the categories, which maybe is a part of my problem, so I need to read some more.

Thank you for your answer.

OK, thx. Didn’t see this message before writing in the setup section. Nice.

Thank you for fixing the issues, it looks good and works as intended. Also the Categories are created as they should. All in all a perfect update. Thx.
