Start apache with mod_php disabled. 2. Edit httpd.conf and enable the mod_php LoadModule directive. 3. Do a graceful restart of Apache. 4. Note that .php files are downloaded to client rather than being properly interpreted. 5. Do a second graceful restart of Apache. 6. Note that .php files are handled properly. Others have been reporting this for some time, with older versions of PHP, for example: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/php-dev/3591788 Expected result: ---------------- Other Apache plugins initialize themselves after a single graceful restart. It appears the php plugin is relying on its own static variables instead of using Apache data structures. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48094&edit=1
