symlink problem "can't read /etc/named.conf" - Jon Snow - Aug 23, 2012

When I try to use symlinking I get this error:
"can't read /etc/named.conf"

How can I bypass this?

The PHP disabled functions are
"show_source, system, shell_exec, passthru, exec, popen, proc_open"

Thanks!

are you even sure /etc/named.conf exists on the server youre trying on.. not all servers have or use /etc/named.conf

Well, how can I be sure? I don't think anyone can.

Navigate to the etc folder and then search? 🤫

Try the path /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf

I have no idea where I should check this path...
I don't have access to /home/

Bybass first PHP disabled functions and it will work with you
shell_exec this is a problem
first upload php.ini and htaccess and symlink
or you can use CGI Perl to excute commands . :)

popen is disable
You can't execute any command :P if you want to get etc/passwd try open base dir

and post here php version or uname -a info

The passwd is 0 bytes in the etc folder...

There is no var in the base dir... also, there is no named.conf in /etc/

because of this permission is denied for you
What's the type of server ? Hostgator ? bluegator ? What ?

Hey i am using the I-47 shell and the Symlink Sa 3.0 bypass but its not working.

On the Symlink Sa 3.0 bypass i go to Symlink bypass and above the text box is "read /etc/passwd"
But the text box contains nothing.

My host has the option to switch between PHP 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 but currently im using 5.3

Code
Disable functions : system, show_source, exec, shell_exec, proc_open, passthru, set_time_limit, ini_restore, mysql_list_dbs, ini_alter, dl, pfsockopen, openlog, syslog, symlink, link, chgrp, leak, popen, escapeshellcmd, apache_child_terminate, apache_get_modules, apache_get_version, apache_getenv, apache_note, apache_setenv, virtual, mb_send_mail    

Safe Mode : OFF

Is what the I-47 shell says.

Code
System Info : Linux srv3.main-hosting.com 2.6.32-279.19.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Dec 19 07:05:20 UTC 2012 x86_64    
Software : Apache

So is it possible to use the I-47 shell with this or do i need to get a CGI Shell? If i need a CGI Shell where can i get one from and can you link me to one?


HAHA i used the I-47 shell and an offshore webhost and just got 3 databases and dropped them after i downloaded them.

Via Symlink so i see some webhosts have this issue where others dont.
