PHP: libcurl.so.4 missing in jailshell

[Patiek]

After recently upgrading PHP to 5.24 and Apache to 2.2, I am experiencing a problem when attempting to call PHP from a jailshell:

# php test.php
php: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The jailshell does not appear to include /opt/curlssl/libcurl.so.4 shared library link that PHP is compiled with ('--with-curl=/opt/curlssl/').

Now, I believe I can fix this for the current users, but I would like to ensure that new accounts will also have access. How can I go about repairing this problem permanently (or is this a cpanel bug that needs to be looked at)?

I never noticed that to be a problem - but for curiosity's sake I did this from a shell:

/usr/local/bin/php test.php
/usr/local/bin/php: error while loading shared libraries: libmcrypt.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

/usr/bin/php test.php
/usr/bin/php: error while loading shared libraries: libmcrypt.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

My libcurl is in /usr/lib and my mcrypt is in /opt/libmcrypt/lib. So I'm guessing it doesn't see anything in /opt. I'm not sure it makes any difference - even though I get those errors, mcrypt shows up in phpinfo on my site.

That would quite likely be my next error that would be spit up. This seems to be an oversight by cPanel as they have definitely left out these folders from the jailshell environment.

cPanel really needs a fix for this as it breaks all PHP command line (that includes cron, etc) that MANY, MANY scripts rely on.

You can fix a particular site:
mkdir /home/virtfs/username/opt
mount -o bind,ro /opt /home/virtfs/username/opt

...replacing username with site's username. Changes will revert on reboot.
