[Php-java-bridge-users] Issue Found + Where is bug tracker?

[<php...@li...>]

I know it says on the sourceforge page to post bugs to the bug tracker but I
looked for it and could not find it for the life of me.

I'm using php-java bridge to run a php based webpage from inside of tomcat
on linux and have found an issue with the Util.process start method in my
instance as it is inherited in FCGIProcess the method argument
java.io.File homeDir
apparently uses the current user's home directory and this is the directory
from which FCGIProcess tries to run php-cgi. The problem arises on my server
from the fact that the user running tomcat has their home directory set to
/dev/null -- this is a security practice that some  admins follow with
service only (no login) user accounts.

I know you try and handle directory non-existence but on *nix it's probably
also worth checking that the directory in this arg isn't a block or
character special file.

If anyone'd be so kind as to direct me to the bug tracker I'd be happy to
open a ticket for this issue.

Hi,

if there's no directory to run PHP, it won't be usable.

I don't think it's a bug. The bridge may contain some warts, but this isn't
one of them.

You might use the patches tracker, if you want to. But I don't think I will
apply it. The PHP/Java Bridge code is mature and won't change anymore,
except for serious bugs or security problems.
