Open_basedir on Windows on Saving Menu

  • Problem is reproduced by using Save from within Appearance – Menus function on a Windows system.

    The problem occurs in 2 PHP functions in WpFastestCache.php (delete_cache_of_term and rm_folder_recursively) on saving Menu changes for sites hosted on Windows system.
    The issue is caused by the question mark embedded in the directory path as in the following example…
    D:\Home\ApacheRoot\dfprof\httpdocs\wp-content/cache/all/?taxonomy=nav_menu&term=direct-xxxx-main-menu/page
    The use of is_dir or file_exists on these path names generates an invalid file/open_basedir error.
    My (temporary) solution was to modify the code to test for ? in the path name and bypass this part of the code.
    A better, robust and more permanent handling of invalid characters in a file name needs to added to this routines. (I am fairly sure that this will fail on Linux, but the error will occur silently in this case).

    ddi you enable the WPFC_CACHE_QUERYSTRING option?

    I do not have that flag used on my system nor do I believe it ever has been on this system so I dont think that is the issue.

    I think the 2 functions I mentioned are associated with ‘clearing’ cache files so I wondered if these are called without reference to the code that prevents query URL pages being cached in the first place.

    do you have the issue often?

    Well currently it occurs everytime you save anything with Appearance – Menu function. The error only occurs in the backend and does not seem to interfere with the actual save functionality so it is annoying but not catastrophic.

    I am no longer actively making menu changes so it is not a big concern for this project.

    I guess my lingering concern is if this is going to manifest itself on another project/site.
