Description:
------------
 When you try to use popen, proc_open, ... in your scripts they don't work under Apache. This problem related only
to RHEL 5 beta with PHP 5.1.4 (meanwhile Fedora 5 working
fine). I suppose the problem lies in Apache build or in
it's new security rules.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
$fp = popen("/bin/ls /var/www/html", "r");
fpassthru($fp);
pclose($fp);
?>
OR
<?
$fp = proc_open("/bin/ls /var/www/html",array(0=>array("pipe","r"),1=>array("pipe","w"),2=>array("pipe","w")),$pipes);
fpassthru($pipes[1]);
fclose($pipes[0]);
fclose($pipes[1]);
fclose($pipes[2]);
proc_close($fp);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
index.php

Sorry for wrong PHP version reported in bug header but
I need solution for specific distro RHEL AS 5 Beta1.
Thanks.

We cannot go back to the past and fix something we're unable to reproduce.
Please test the snapshot and check if you're still able to reproduce it. And if you are, please provide a short but complete reproduce code with actual and expected results.

As I said I suppose that isn't pure PHP problem
but maybe something changed in Apache2 and
someone has solution for it. The question is
to rebuild (sometimes it's not so easy) PHP or
Apache. Moreover definitely the guys from RedHat
have their own thougths on building production
releases we are paying for.

Please read what I said in the previous message.
