Nginx – PHP-FPM Chroot jail corrupts timezone db

chrootnginxphp-fpm

I'm trying to setup a PHP-FPM Chroot jail on a new CentOS 6.3 box. I can get the chroot to work fine, in the sense that I can get php scripts to respond and echo things out. But, every time I use the date function, I get an error saying the timezone db is corrupt.

All I've done is changed the value of the chroot directive in php-fpm conf, to be the document root as specified in nginx.

This is the test script:

this is the nginx vhost

Here's the output I get when I go to localhost

do you have copy of TZ stuff inside the chroot folder ?

/etc/localtime

-and-

/usr/share/zoneinfo

/chroot/path/etc/localtime

-and-

/chroot/path/usr/share/zoneinfo

also maybe add

add TZ=CST (or whatever your TZ is) in the nginx config details here: http://wiki.nginx.org/CoreModule#env

Implications that come with chrooting php-fpm

Yes, you'll need a basic functioning filesystem within the chroot directory. And no, you shouldn't move (or link) everything - that'll pretty well defeat the entire purpose of chrooting.

Essentially, the resources that need to be present within the chroot are the ones that the server will need to access during runtime - any dynamically loaded libraries, log directories, and support structures needed for anything the server's doing.

In this case, you're missing basic name resolution configuration - /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf, and nss/dns/resolv related stuff from /lib would be a good start.

Nginx – chrooting php-fpm with nginx

I have the same situation and this is my solition:

fpm config:

prefix = /var/www/example.com
chroot = $prefix
chdir = /
listen = tmp/php5-fpm.sock
slowlog = log/$pool.log.slow

nginx config:

 location ~ \.php$ {
    include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/www/example.com/tmp/php5-fpm.sock;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /htdocs$fastcgi_script_name;
    fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
    fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT /htdocs;
 }

folder structure of /var/www/example.com

drwxr-x---  6 www-data www-data 4096 May 22 10:57 .
drwxr-xr-x 10 root     root     4096 May 22 08:52 ..
drwxr-x---  2 www-data www-data 4096 May 22 10:57 htdocs
drwxr-x---  2 www-data www-data 4096 May 22 10:34 log
drwxr-x---  2 www-data www-data 4096 May 22 10:56 tmp
