[pmwiki-devel] Directory structure revisited

[thp at sigproc.de]

Hello,

thanks for the config details.

Though pmwiki seems to be configurable to achieve the separation between
php executables and accessible data(*), I had to find out that the idea is
still not realizable due to the semantics of php's open_basedir variable: 

The open_basedir restriction is also in effect when _including_ a file.

This means that (sticking to my example layout) scripts below docroot/ can
NOT be included. This is (expectedly) also true when adding the path to
safe_mode_include_dir. Extending the open_basedir variable to the scripts
path on the other hand would just destroy the separation that we aimed for,
so its not a viable option.

(*) Some minor change in scripts/skin.php (around line 46) was necessary:

  foreach((array)$skin as $s) {
    $sd = FmtPageName("$BaseDir/pub/skins/$s", $pagename); 
                       // instead of "./pub/skins/$s"
    if (is_dir($sd))
      { $Skin=$s; $SkinDirUrl="$PubDirUrl/skins/$Skin"; break; }

Also, i18n did not yet work.
