<![CDATA[Can not see /usr/local/bin for some user]]>I have a problem: some pfsense users can not see all the filesystem folders… and I can not understand why.

I installed a standard pfsense in a x64 machine, I added squid package and external acl php script called by squid daemon with its user "proxy".
Squid cannot run a php script from squid because "php is not found". And here starts my odyssey.

I tried to impersonate proxy user to understand what's wrong, I added /bin/sh shell to proxy user and I logged as proxy user  with su proxy command. The answer is that via shell logon I could see /usr/local/bin/php and I could run my php scripts.

So I tryed to link an sh script to squid, the script was like this: ls -R / > /tmp/fstree.txt the answer is that the /usr/local/bin doesn't exists…  :o
Therefore I'm absolutely sure that squid daemon  can not see the /usr/local/bin folder but loggin with su proxy I can see it.
I tried to link /usr/local/bin/php to /bin/php with a soft link and now squid can run php scripts…

This is solved, but some php extension can not find their file...
What I'm missing? Why by sheel I can see that folder and squid daemon (with the same user) can not see it?

Thank you.

The simplest seems to be php…
So what is you answer to avoid symlinks?

Stop working around PBI idiocy by causing more damage to your system.

ln -s /usr/local/bin/php /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/local/bin/php
ln -s /usr/local/lib/php /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/local/lib/php
ln -s /usr/local/etc/php.ini /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/local/etc/php.ini
