1 error(s) found. Hang in there!

I added some debug lines to GpgAuthenticate::_initKeyring():

    $this->_gpg = new \gnupg();
    $info = $this->_gpg->keyinfo($keyid);
    $this->_gpg->seterrormode(\gnupg::ERROR_EXCEPTION);
    var_dump($this->_gpg->geterror());

Error is: ‘could not init keylist’.

Configuration is Centos 7, php7.2, php-fpm, apache2.

  • In both ways (cli and fpm) script is executed from ‘apache’ user.

  • /usr/share/httpd/.gnupg is writable and with SELinux permissions

  • getenv(‘GNUPGHOME’) is /usr/share/httpd/.gnupg in both ways

  • ‘sudo ausearch -m AVC,USER_AVC -ts recent’ returns

  • GPGme Version => 1.3.2 for both cli and fpm

  • gpg --version

What else I forgot to check?

Hello,

What do you get when doing:

sudo su -s /bin/bash -c "gpg --list-keys" apache

How did you install php-gnupg? Using PECL packages?

Hi @remy, thanks for support.

Here is output of list-keys:

 $ sudo su -s /bin/bash -c "gpg --list-keys --fingerprint" apache
 /usr/share/httpd/.gnupg/pubring.gpg
 -----------------------------------
 pub   2048R/FB61BC74 2019-02-10
       Key fingerprint = 9F9C EB2C 85D8 732E CB82  35A9 B9F7 DD16 FB61 BC74
 uid                  Bogdan <bogdan.p******i@b********a.com>
 sub   2048R/7FF8933D 2019-02-10

Installation was done in this way:

sudo yum install php72-php-pecl-gnupg.x86_64

So, after your comment I removed php-gnupg and installed it again using PECL, and it works now. I really can’t understand how that could happen, considering phpinfo shows me absolutely same version was installed previously and also considering there were no problems with old installation with CLI.

Anyway, now I’m happy to get it successfully installed and also I do not regret I spent few days debugging it, because it helped me to saw project’s sources and I really like this project.

Thank you for your kind comments @Bogdan, it’s much appreciated.
