Can't read a mounted directory

[Anon]

Hey-

Has anyone encountered this problem?
I try and call "chdir" to a directory (/home/avidan) which is mounted. I can access the mounted directory without any problems via command line, but PHP cant seem to access them (yes, permissions are properly set).

The error is

Warning: ChDir: No such file or directory (errno 2)

The real wierd part is that I can chdir to /home (which is also mounted) but I can never access one of its subdirectories. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Avidan

Try doing the following in a test script:

chdir ("/home"); system ("ls");

If it seems to come up fine, try using system ("cd /home/avidan"); If that's also fine, you might want to triple check your permissions. Make sure your webserver daemon can read all those directories. Hopefully one of those commands will shed light on your problem.

I figured it out.
I totally forgot i was in a chrooted environment.
I cant access the home directory because it is in the normal root directory.
(the reason /home was working was b/c there just so happened to be a home directory in usr/local/root)

Anyone know of a way to get around chroot?

Thanks,
Avidan
