I have some issue with my production deployment of Symfony2,
I've tried many solutions, but none have worked.
I randomly have this error when accessing my symfony application on production environment:
( ! ) Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\ContextErrorException' with message 'Warning: simplexml_load_file(): I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/home/user/symfony/vendor/friendsofsymfony/user-bundle/Resources/config/doctrine/model/User.orm.xml"' in /home/user/symfony/app/bootstrap.php.cache on line 2998

I've tried to upgrade my php version (I was in php 5.4.x and now in 5.6.4),
I've tried to upgrade lixml2 version (i am in 2.8.0 now, but i already tried to upgrade in 2.9.3)
I've constated that the version of libxml used in php is always 2.8.0, but, I haven't found the way to change this,
I've tried to set the all directory of symfony in chmod 777
My server is a debian 7.5 server.
Maybe someone who knows this error can help me
Here is some links to differents question related to this one:
Random Error , FOSUserBundle Error and Service error
I didn't post in them because they're all outdated
[EDIT]
I found a quick fix, but it's in vendors, so it will be overrided in the first update of the doctrine update:
QuickFix in XmlDriver.php Line 737
$xmlElement = @simplexml_load_file($file);
if(!$xmlElement){
$xmlData = file_get_contents($file);
$xmlElement = simplexml_load_string($xmlData);
}
We got this error after we started using libxml_disable_entity_loader(true);
in our code. That code is vital in preventing XXE -attacks(more info of that in here ). If you don't have that in your code, it could be that you have installed/updated a bundle which has that line of code in use. Note that libxml_disable_entity_loader()
is not thread safe, so if there is one piece of code on one thread that executes that line, everything on that server now has that enabled throughout the process.
The FOS-bundle seems to use xml-definitions, that in return have external entities in them. Nothing major though, but that code prevents the FOS-bundles methods from using those files correctly.
Luckily, our service got that error only in one place, and the fix was obvious: Add a libxml_disable_entity_loader(false);
before executing that piece of code where the error comes from, and add libxml_disable_entity_loader(true);
right after that piece of code. This way the user bundle could load the xml:s it needed, but security is not compromised.
Example:
libxml_disable_entity_loader(false);
$user = $query->getOneOrNullResult(); // This generates an error if entity loader is disabled
libxml_disable_entity_loader(true);
The error mentioned usually happens when the xml file does not exists.
You can try check if the file really exists after try to load:
if (file_exists($file)) {
$xmlElement = @simplexml_load_file($file);
}
I tried to simulate the error locally running php interactively, the results are in down:
php > simplexml_load_file('test.xml');
PHP Warning: simplexml_load_file(): I/O warning : failed to load external entity "test.xml" in php shell code on line 1
php >
Note, the error above is the same that you mentioned on the question. So, the first try is use the file_exists()
function to check if the file really exists after try to load it. The next step is check if the current path - using getcwd()
- and the path of the file are pointing correctly to the file.
I created a file called test.xml
on /tmp
folder:
<test>
<worked>
</worked>
</test>
Called the interactive mode on php:
$ php -a
Interactive mode enabled
So, checked my local directory:
php > echo getcwd();
/tmp
And, tried to load the file:
php > $data = simplexml_load_file('test.xml');
php > var_dump($data);
object(SimpleXMLElement)#1 (1) {
["worked"]=>
object(SimpleXMLElement)#2 (1) {
[0]=>
string(2) "
"
}
}
Note: that worked correctly. So, probably, your file does not exists or the path are incorrect. The path considers the current path /tmp
plus, the file indicated on the function call test.txt
, or equals to call the /tmp/test.txt
file.
In my case, the problem on new hosting was:
allow_url_fopen
was disabled (any simplexml_load_file() or file_get_contents() returned false).
Solution: enable allow_url_fopen.
