Re: Help us test release candidate 2 (!) for the upcoming 4.0.8 release
The temporary directory path is set to /path/to/textpattern instead of /path/to/textpattern/tmp, so that diagnostics give this warning:
Temporary directory path and Plugin cache directory path should not match.
It’s easy enough to change, but is this intended?
Also I got this error (on the page that says ‘That went well etcetera’):
Warning: realpath() [function.realpath]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 10019 is not allowed to access /tmp/txp_i6HKUI owned by uid 48 in /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/subdomains/test/httpdocs/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php on line 1308
Warning: unlink(/home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/subdomains/test/httpdocs/textpattern/setup) [function.unlink]: Permission denied in /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/subdomains/test/httpdocs/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php on line 1310
That went well. Database tables were created and populated.
You should be able to access the main interface with the login and password you chose.
Thank you for your interest in Textpattern.
It was still there when I landed on the languages page, but went away when I went to diagnostics.
I’ve set up many Txp installs on this server, also in subdomains, and never had these errors before.

The link to ‘Textbook Wiki’ in the ‘Welcome to your site’ article and the link to ‘TextBook’ in the right column link to different URLs (same content though). This probably was already the case in 4.0.7. I’ll post this in the Textbook forum as well for Destry’s attention.

Els, this looks like /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/subdomains/test/httpdocs/textpattern/tmp wasn’t present during setup. Is this possible?

No, it was definitely there, I only had to chmod it to 777 after the install (but I always have to do that on this server).

Might be caused by running the web server process as a different user than the one you use for FTP uploads? Then, ../textpattern/tmp would be owned by the uploading user while the setup script acting as the web server process user tries to write a tiny test file to said folder during setup – and fails.
Please confirm.
If this is the case I don’t think we have any opportunity to circumvent these restrictions (a good thing!), and the warning message is ugly but it helps to diagnose the problem. We might shoot for a prettier warning message, though.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean by ‘running the web server process’. It’s a reseller account where I’m hosting several domains, and each domain has it’s own FTP account. But FYI I recently set up a fresh 4.0.7 install in a subdomain (other domain) on that same account, so that must be an identical situation, and I didn’t get those errors. Two days ago I upgraded that install to 4.0.8rc1 and got no errors either.

That’s interesting. Not the permission denied, but the fact that it tries to delete the setup directory, while it should be deleting a temporary file.

Oops. From a quick test, realpath(null) returns the cwd(). Will fix it.

Does this influence the further workings of the install, or can I go on testing without waiting for your fix?

‘null’ should not occur there. tempnam is supposed to return false if it fails. Either way, it doesn’t harm anything, because the setup dir is not empty and unlink cannot remove directories. I’d leave this for 4.0.9.

If your temp directory isn’t mentioned in the diag tab any more, the “Temporary directory” prefs is set properly and e.g. file uploads work as expected then please continue testing as usual.

Thanks Robert. I haven’t found any other problems except with MLP. As usual… ;)

Off topic but perhaps relevant – is MLP ever going to be anything except a hack? Els’ problems above is why I don’t play with MLP – yet.
