[BlueOnyx:17330] Re: 5209R - bug in Security -> PHP Settings - fixed

Hi Dirk,

I just looked into this and it is really weird. I set up a fresh 5209R
off the latest ISO as well and could see the same errors as you did.

It turned out that there were a couple of things just plain wrong with
base-vsite on 5209R. The Class "PHP" didn't get created automatically to
begin with. Why? Not really sure. But without it the constructor and
handler for the PHP related settings got thrown off the cliff and did a
lot of things just utterly wrong. There were even chances of getting two
PHP Objects, which is just worse than none. And somehow it also turned
on the deprecated "Safe Mode" on for PHP, which PHP-5.4 absolutely
doesn't like.

I'm not sure what happened there. Maybe I inadvertently mixed code from
separate code trees during one of the last code merges? No idea. I just
cleaned it up with a fine toothed comb and submitted a fixed base-vsite
to SVN and published YUM updates of base-vsite for 5209R.

However, there will be yet another fix to it today or tomorrow, as we
just discovered an issue with newer RoundCube versions. They suddenly
insist on having the PEAR class within the open_basedir path of Vsites
that use it. Which isn't the case at the moment.

The fix for this requires an updated constructor/handler which detects
the used PHP version and inserts the correct PEAR path of it into the
Vsite PHP configuration automatically. Fun and games.

Anyway: When I have added that feature to base-vsite as well I'll roll
up yet another updated ISO image for 5209R and will publish it.
