My webserver does not in this configuration and for lighttpd you'd have to use the 'check-local' parameter for your fastcgi configuration to get the same behaviour. Your question to WHAT actually is in the script: there is no script! That's the whole point. If I'd do a GET request PHP would be returning the well known 'No input file specified.' message together with a 404 header. For a HEAD request I'd expect the 404 header without the message. Instead of returning the header the FastCGI process bails out with a -1 exit code. It's not a segmentation fault, but it's still a 'crash' of one of the child processes in the sense that it exits wrongly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-11-14 01:24:38] jani@php.net Works fine for me. Same PHP version, FastCGI, only difference is that I use lighttpd. Where do you get the idea anything is actually crashing? Also, WHAT is in that script of yours? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
