Environment shouldn't be so full of system details and should contain the correct user as USER environment variable. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run spawn-fcgi with /usr/bin/php-cgi as the FCGI_PROGRAM 2. setup nginx to load a phpfile with the following content: <pre><?php print_r($_SERVER); ?></pre> 3. Actual Results: This is what PHP's $_SERVER variable has in it: [MANPATH] => /usr/local/share/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/share/binutils-data/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.19.1/man:/usr/share/gcc-data/i486-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.2/man:/usr/share/gcc-data/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.3/man:/etc/java-config/system-vm/man/:/usr/lib/php5/man/:/usr/kde/4.2/share/man:/usr/kde/3.5/share/man:/usr/qt/3/doc/man [SHELL] => /bin/bash [TERM] => xterm [EINFO_LOG] => /etc/init.d/spawn-fcgi.local [QTDIR] => /usr/qt/3 [ANT_HOME] => /usr/share/ant [USER] => root [PRELINK_PATH_MASK] => /usr/lib/klibc [GDK_USE_XFT] => 1 [EINFO_LASTCMD] => eend [CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK] => /etc/gentoo-release /etc/sandbox.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/udev/rules.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash [RC_SVCNAME] => spawn-fcgi.local [XDG_CONFIG_DIRS] => /etc/xdg [PWD] => / [QMAKESPEC] => linux-g++ [KDEDIRS] => /usr [SVCNAME] => spawn-fcgi.local [SHLVL] => 1 [HOME] => /root [RC_SERVICE] => /etc/init.d/spawn-fcgi.local [GCC_SPECS] => [CVS_RSH] => ssh [XDG_DATA_DIRS] => /usr/local/share:/usr/kde/4.2/share:/usr/kde/3.5/share:/usr/share:/usr/share/gdm [ROOTPATH] => /opt/bin:/usr/i486-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.3.2:/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.3.3:/usr/kde/4.2/sbin:/usr/kde/4.2/bin:/usr/kde/3.5/sbin:/usr/kde/3.5/bin:/usr/qt/3/bin [PKG_CONFIG_PATH] => /usr/kde/4.2/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/qt/3/lib/pkgconfig [LESSOPEN] => |lesspipe.sh %s [INFOPATH] => /usr/share/info:/usr/share/binutils-data/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.19.1/info:/usr/share/gcc-data/i486-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.2/info:/usr/share/gcc-data/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.3/info [USB_DEVFS_PATH] => /dev/bus/usb [OPENGL_PROFILE] => nvidia [SANE_CONFIG_DIR] => /etc/sane.d [_] => /bin/env [PATH] => /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin [FCGI_ROLE] => RESPONDER [SCRIPT_FILENAME] => /home/rory/Documents/Programming/Netbeans Projects/Portal/www/index.php [QUERY_STRING] => [REQUEST_METHOD] => GET [CONTENT_TYPE] => [CONTENT_LENGTH] => [SCRIPT_NAME] => /index.php [REQUEST_URI] => /blahablasdf [DOCUMENT_URI] => /index.php [DOCUMENT_ROOT] => /home/rory/Documents/Programming/Netbeans Projects/Portal/www [SERVER_PROTOCOL] => HTTP/1.1 [GATEWAY_INTERFACE] => CGI/1.1 [SERVER_SOFTWARE] => nginx/0.7.55 [REMOTE_ADDR] => 127.0.0.1 [REMOTE_PORT] => 3456 [SERVER_ADDR] => 127.0.0.1 [SERVER_PORT] => 80 [SERVER_NAME] => portal [REDIRECT_STATUS] => 200 [HTTP_HOST] => portal [HTTP_USER_AGENT] => Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009052218 Gentoo Firefox/3.0.10 [HTTP_ACCEPT] => text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 [HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE] => en-us,en;q=0.5 [HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING] => gzip,deflate [HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET] => UTF-8,* [HTTP_KEEP_ALIVE] => 300 [HTTP_CONNECTION] => keep-alive [HTTP_CACHE_CONTROL] => max-age=0 [PHP_SELF] => /index.php [REQUEST_TIME] => 1243438885 [argv] => Array ( ) [argc] => 0 ) Expected Results: If I add -i to the env command @ /etc/init.d/spawn-fcgi line 26 so that: env ${E} /sbin/start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile ${P} --exec ${SPAWNFCGI} \ becomes: env -i ${E} /sbin/start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile ${P} --exec ${SPAWNFCGI} \ This is the resulting PHP $_SERVER variable: Array ( [USER] => root [HOME] => /root [FCGI_ROLE] => RESPONDER [SCRIPT_FILENAME] => /home/rory/Documents/Programming/Netbeans Projects/Portal/www/index.php [QUERY_STRING] => [REQUEST_METHOD] => GET [CONTENT_TYPE] => [CONTENT_LENGTH] => [SCRIPT_NAME] => /index.php [REQUEST_URI] => /blahablasdf [DOCUMENT_URI] => /index.php [DOCUMENT_ROOT] => /home/rory/Documents/Programming/Netbeans Projects/Portal/www [SERVER_PROTOCOL] => HTTP/1.1 [GATEWAY_INTERFACE] => CGI/1.1 [SERVER_SOFTWARE] => nginx/0.7.55 [REMOTE_ADDR] => 127.0.0.1 [REMOTE_PORT] => 3675 [SERVER_ADDR] => 127.0.0.1 [SERVER_PORT] => 80 [SERVER_NAME] => portal [REDIRECT_STATUS] => 200 [HTTP_HOST] => portal [HTTP_USER_AGENT] => Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009052218 Gentoo Firefox/3.0.10 [HTTP_ACCEPT] => text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 [HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE] => en-us,en;q=0.5 [HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING] => gzip,deflate [HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET] => UTF-8,* [HTTP_KEEP_ALIVE] => 300 [HTTP_CONNECTION] => keep-alive [HTTP_CACHE_CONTROL] => max-age=0 [PHP_SELF] => /index.php [REQUEST_TIME] => 1243439194 [argv] => Array ( ) [argc] => 0 ) This still states that HOME is /root, and USER is root even though in my /etc/conf.d/spawn-fcgi.local config file I have set the user to webdev.
fixed in cvs. thanks for the report
