#48761 [Tbd]: php crashes on start - getaddrinfo could not be located

ID: 48761 Updated by: pajoye@php.net Reported By: aheckmann at m-s dot de Status: To be documented Bug Type: Reproducible crash Operating System: win32 only - Windows 2000 SP4 PHP Version: 5.3.0 New Comment: PHP 5.2 works just fine in this configuration. So you can follow they lovely adage and keep using 5.2.x with the existing apps :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-09-03 23:09:48] composer at singers dot org dot nz I run Small Business Server 2000 and need to set up PHP within IIS to support some services that I need to provide and right now am unable to do so so am "hog tied". Although only a small site being able to provide the services required for the organization is critical.. Win2K SBS has proved very stable and reliable and the owners do not wish to change.. The old adage here.. "If it ain't broke don't fix it and don't screw with it" is what they like. The current environment meets their needs perfectly and has been highly reliable. Now they wanna add an extra service that uses MYSQL and PHP. So installing PHP is critical. Therefore some fix for them is important or at least a practical workaround. So yep there are Win2K servers out there and YEP a "fix" of some sort would be good. Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-24 20:26:31] bruce at thinkcorporate dot com Specifically where do I obtain and include the mentioned Ws2tcpip.h and Wspiapi.h files as the "fix" to getaddrinfo on older versions of Windows? Does the PHP.exe need to be recompiled with the mentioned includes? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-14 23:40:34] bruce at thinkcorporate dot com I run IIS 6 on W2K SP4 and get the same error. I reviewed http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms738520%28VS.85%29.aspx How do I implement the fix? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-10 11:45:18] pajoye@php.net Only 2000 and xp with SP1 (or no SP) are affected. 2003 does work as expected. By the way, I very much doubt that most servers use 2000. Set as "to be documented". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-29 23:00:21] jon dot harrell at gmail dot com Until this bug is fixed wouldn't it make sense to place a notice warning all potential users that the binary downloads at http://windows.php.net/download/ require XP SP2 or above? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
