fopen flock flcose errors, but they go away with php -n (no ini file)

[littleconda]

Not sure this is 100% script related but this looks like a section that can help.  I'm merging a script over from a old machine (i7) to a new machine (Atom)  same OS (Gentoo amd64_x86) on both and both are emerged current.  Both run PHP 5.3.3-pl1-gentoo (cli).

 

On the orginal machine all is fine.

 

when I attempt to run this script on the 2nd machine I get the following error, but it will run fine after the warnings.

php hellavcr.php

PHP Warning:  fopen(/var/lock/hellavcr.pid): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/stivo/SERVER/hellavcr/hellavcr.php on line 1088

PHP Warning:  flock() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/stivo/SERVER/hellavcr/hellavcr.php on line 1089

PHP Warning:  fwrite() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/stivo/SERVER/hellavcr/hellavcr.php on line 1090

PHP Warning:  fclose() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/stivo/SERVER/hellavcr/hellavcr.php on line 1091

 

However if i run it without calling the ini file :

php -n hellavcr.php 

all works well without any warnings.

 

Anyone know off the top of their head what config I am missing in my php.ini file that would cause the above. I've attempted to diff them, but they don't match line for line and towards the end it's all showing different.  I don't think It's the script causing me errors, just my config.

 

For the curious , lines 1088-1091

 

$f = fopen($config['lock_file'], 'w');

flock($f, LOCK_EX);

fwrite($f, posix_getpid() . "\n");

fclose($f);

$config['pid_files'][] = $config['lock_file'];

 

 

Thanks
