Description:
------------
I have a web application needing write permissions on a directory.

I decided to recursively chown that directory to nobody (the user the webserver is running as) 

As I chown 'chown -R nobody layout/' I get:

Warning: include(layout/theme.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /......./html/header.php on line 35

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'layout/theme.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /......./html/header.php on line 35

line 35 is: include("layout/theme.php");

Needless to say the file is existent

# ll layout/theme.php
-rw-r--r--  1 nobody web 31413 Mar  9 16:03 layout/theme.php

As I chown the dir back to the owner of header.php it start working again...

# chown -R web layout/
# ll layout/theme.php
-rw-r--r--  1 web web 31413 Mar  9 16:03 layout/theme.php

Safe mode is off

Reproduce code:
---------------
Cannot find a few lines of code reproducing the bug, should see the whole application

Expected result:
----------------
I expect to have the page included without problems

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: include(layout/theme.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /......./html/header.php on line 35

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'layout/theme.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /......./html/header.php on line 35

Does it work if you specify absolute path?

[2006-03-09 19:16 UTC] edoardo at serra dot to dot it

Using an absolute path give a more useful error message
that make me notice safe mode is on on that VHOST

Sorry for my mistake, but the "file not found" error message, not indicating a SAFE MODE problem, was confusing for me.

Do you still consider it a bug ?

Output with full path 

Warning: include() [function.include]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 1000 is not allowed to access .....

Warning: include(/.../theme.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: Success in /.../header.php on line 35
