Hi, i asked Stefan Haberl one of the Group-e maintainers about the PHP-problem with pseudoterminals (proc_open). Here's his answer (soory again in german): " Hi an alle, ich weiß nicht was die PHP Maintainer von RedHat und SuSE für Probleme mit dem PTY Support haben. Es hat einmal ein Sicherheitsproblem gegeben (wurde bereits 2008 behoben) und danach wurde es in diesen Distributionen deaktiviert. Ich würde gerne mal wissen welche Probleme das sind die Rodriguez weiter unten erwähnt. Wenn man nämlich nachfragt kriegt man immer nur "We have problems with that...." aber was genau sagt keiner. Ich denke wir sollten mal versuchen rauszukriegen was das Problem ist. Der PTY Support ist nämlich ein tolles Feature bei PHP LG Stefan " regards Stefan P.S. Debian supports pseudoterminals in PHP5..... Am 03.12.2010 11:57, schrieb Klaas Freitag:
Hi,
as said I asked Christian Rodriguez, the SUSE PHP5 maintainer, about the issue with group-e.
<technical> The issue is that group-e uses pipes which need support of pseudoterminals in php5. We do not have that and I guess in upstream it is also disabled, because there are problems with that.
The group-e code that causes the problem can be seen here: http://paste.opensuse.org/82557957 </technical>
Christian suggests to try to solve the problem in group-e's code. I investigated a bit, but did not find a solution yet, maybe Christian can help here, I am waiting on his answer.
Is somebody in touch with group-e upstream? It does not seem they're seeking out for much devleoper community :( Maybe they have a solution already?
OTOH they mention in their FAQ another solution for this problem which is to use "Samba mount" instead of smbclient, see
http://wiki.group-e.info/index.php/FAQ and http://wiki.group- e.info/index.php/Administratorenhilfe:Konfiguration_Samba_Dateimanager
It would be the easiest solution to go for that by default. Is that acceptable?
regards,
Klaas
