 Posted: Thu 03 Dec '09 13:30 Post subject: [SOLVED] PHP ldap_bind doesn't work via Apache fcgid |
 |
|
Does anybody have a clue as to why I can successfully use the PHP function ldap_bind when executed as an Apache module (or from the command line) but it fails when used under mod_fcgid? PHP can't bind to the LDAP server, always fails. This is happening for both PHP 5.2.4 and 5.3.1.
| Code: | | Unable to bind to server: Can't contact LDAP server |
I haven't seen anybody else complaining of this. Is anybody using PHP ldap under fcgid?

I tried it with an example source from php.net and it works with fcgid.
I use PHP NTS 5.3.1 on XP with apache 2.2.14 to Windows 2003 small business server
| Code: |
<?php
//anonymen ldap bind
/
$ldapconn = ldap_connect("ldap.example.com")
or die("Could not connect to LDAP server.");
if ($ldapconn) {
// anonymes binding
$ldapbind = ldap_bind($ldapconn);
if ($ldapbind) {
echo "anonymes LDAP bind success...";
} else {
echo "anonymes LDAP bind fail...";
}
}
?>

Well the new LDAP is a bit difficult. Older code did not work. So I tried something.
But this works for me
| Code: |
$con = ldap_connect('ldap://ldap.example.com');
ldap_set_option($con, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3);
ldap_set_option($con, LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS, 0);
var_dump(ldap_bind($con, 'user@example.com', 'password'));

| Are you connecting to an Active Directory server or a normal LDAP server? I'm having the problem with AD. Your code example below works for me under Apache PHP module but not mod_fcgid. |

There is a real AD server (Windows 2003 for small business).

this:
| Code: | Warning: ldap_bind() [function.ldap-bind]: Unable to bind to server: Can't contact LDAP server in D:\xxx\ad.php on line 8
bool(false) |
It's very strange. As I said above, this code DOES work (I am able to bind successfully) from the command line or via Apache module. I am trying to bind to an Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition. |

I'm using different php.ini's and different versions of Apache (running on different TCP ports).
Working ldap_bind =Apache/2.2.4 (Win32) mod_auth_sspi/1.0.4 PHP/5.2.4
Apache downloaded from apache.org.
PHP downloaded from php.net.
PHPIniDir "d:/w drive/php/"
D:\W Drive\php\php.ini
I assume this a TS version of PHP since it includes php5apache2_2.dll, is that correct?
Not-working ldap_bind=Apache/2.2.14 (Win32) mod_auth_sspi/1.0.4
Apache downloaded from apachelounge
DefaultInitEnv PHPRC "d:/w drive/php531"
mod_fcgid-2.2b-w32.zip from apachelounge
PHP NTS Version 5.3.1 MSVC9 (Visual C++ 2008) from PHP.net
Does that answer your question? |

Try to add:
DefaultInitEnv PATH "x:/xxxxx/php;C:/WINDOWS/system32;C:/WINDOWS;C:/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem;"
DefaultInitEnv SystemRoot "C:/Windows"
DefaultInitEnv SystemDrive "C:"
DefaultInitEnv TEMP "C:/WINDOWS/Temp"
DefaultInitEnv TMP "C:/WINDOWS/Temp"
DefaultInitEnv windir "C:/WINDOWS"
Where xxxx points to you php dir.
