Bug 277272 – mail-client/roundcube gives blank page with php 5.2.10

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Kilburn Abrahams 2009-07-10 02:03:42 UTC]

I upgraded from PHP 5.2.9-r2 to 5.2.10, restarted apache and accessed roundcube (which was working). It give a blank page. No apache or php errors.

Reproducible: Always




I reloaded PHP 5.2.9-r2 and it works again.

These are the use flags:
apache2 bcmath berkdb bzip2 cgi cli crypt ctype curl curlwrappers exif force-cgi-redirect ftp gd gdbm iconv imap ipv6 json mysql ncurses nls pcre postgres readline reflection session simplexml sockets spl ssl tidy unicode wddx xml zip zlib

I have the same problem with lighttpd.

the first problem is, that rc/php has problems when your www-root is actually a symlink, as it does a define("INSTALL_DIR", ..) in ./program/includes/iniset.php
which in fact leads to non-findable files here, as php does not resolve symlinks (it seems?). 

after fixing that with manually setting the constant in index.php i still get a empty page :(

I thought we already had a bug for that, but apparently I confused it with the upstream bug.

References:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48775
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48603

And there's no fix yet. IMO this has to be fixed in PHP as it is obviously a regression, but I'm not sure if upstream agrees. Let's see.

[Comment 5 Robert R. Richter 2009-07-18 16:58:22 UTC]

why fix it ?? - runs here fine with php 5.2.10 - tested with roundcube-0.2 and roundcube 0.22 !!

Maybe you should compile php with my USEFLAGS: apache2 berkdb bzip2 cgi cli crypt ctype curl exif force-cgi-redirect ftp gd gdbm iconv imap mhash mysql ncurses nls odbc pcre pic posix readline reflection session sockets spell spl sqlite ssl tokenizer truetype unicode xml xsl zlib

HTH,
Robert.

[Comment 6 Francesco Riosa 2009-07-23 18:02:14 UTC]

workaround in short:
USE="-curlwrappers" emerge php

[Comment 7 Matti Bickel (RETIRED) 2010-04-12 18:48:40 UTC]

Can you verify upstreams assertion that this is fixed in the new version of php?

If the bug persists, please reopen it.
