#40286 [Com]: PHP fastcgi with PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN don't kill children when parent is killed

ID: 40286 Comment by: bgross at mcw dot edu Reported By: gabriel at oxeva dot fr Status: No Feedback Bug Type: CGI related Operating System: Linux 2.6 PHP Version: 5.2.0+ Assigned To: dmitry New Comment: ... on second thought, after looking at my php.ini again, I think the major change was due to adding the line "session.gc_probability = 1". I believe this is set to "session.gc_probability = 0" by default in Debian Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-22 20:14:41] bgross at mcw dot edu I'm not familiar with the inner-workings PHP, so I'm sorry if this is not relevant. I was experiencing a problem with php-cgi processes staying around and filling up my memory. After I added the line "cgi.fix_pathinfo=1" to my php.ini, the problem went away. I'm using PHP FastCGI 5.2.6 with Lighttpd 1.4.19 on Debian 5.0.2 Hope that's helpful ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-02 03:41:27] porjo38 at yahoo dot com dot au The php 5.3.0 changelog states the following: "Fixed bug #40286 (PHP fastcgi with PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN don't kill children when parent is killed). (Dmitry)" I've just compiled php 5.3.0 under Centos5.3 with Apache2.2.3 + mod_fcgid2.2-4. The issue is still occuring for me. When I restart Apache, I usually end up with a bunch of php-cgi process with ppid of 1 (init), although it doesn't happen every time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-05-16 03:43:15] scripts at topducks dot com I'm using php5.2.9 mod_fcgid, not using children method. Whenever I restart apache I get orphaned php processes. Without the cron job to check and kill them off they would waste a lot of memory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-01-21 23:34:39] xani666 at gmail dot com In my case that bug was happening on apache + php 5.2.8 + mod_fastcgi + mod_suexec with about ~20 sites (3-4 busy most time of day, other used from time to time) with fastcgi options -idle-timeout 240 -maxClassProcesses 1 and PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=4 so processes died quite often. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-10-09 08:35:41] natit at ctvnet dot dp dot ua HELP CHILDREN OF UKRAINE!
