I'm experiencing difficulties using apache in the following environment. Is there any good solution that would solve the security problems? Server version: Apache/2.2.2 Server built: May 14 2006 18:14:53 PHP 5.1.4 (cli) (built: May 5 2006 19:14:55) Virtual users are stored under /home/web/domain.tld/username where users have access to their directory using a ftpd with virtual accounts. All files and directories are owned by a single system uid/gid. Now, using this setup, users can access files and directories outside their own home using php, this is something that I really need to prevent. I'd like to chroot/jail them to their own directory. I could run a config parser and set up <Directory> settings for each users having php_admin_value set for open_basedir. But that seems to be a bit much. Is there any other way to approach this problem?
There is no simple answer to this problem. If you trust open_basedir, then that is the easiest solution. Otherwise, the solutions involve running php as a cgi script under suexec or similar program, or running multiple apache instances with a proxy in front to dispatch to the correct instance.
