Bug #39803 [Bgs]: fsockopen() bug

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=39803&edit=1 ID: 39803 User updated by: marcelo at tpn dot com dot br Reported by: marcelo at tpn dot com dot br Summary: fsockopen() bug Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: Sockets related Operating System: FreeBSD 6.2 PHP Version: 4.4.9 New Comment: Folks, Regardless if it's a PHP problem or not, here is the SOLUTION: fsockopen(), fopen() and other socket functions will not work in Apache with many virtualhosts. You need to increase the file descriptor limits when compiling Apache and PHP (including its modules). If you use FreeBSD, edit your /etc/make.conf and add: EXTRA_CFLAGS="-DFD_SETSIZE=8192" And rebuild Apache, PHP and its modules. I believe that 8192 is a number big enough, btw you can try a different number. I don't know how to do this using Linux, but should be similar. There are MANY people with the same problem, and you are always saying this isn't a PHP bug, and the user should fix him system. IMHO, if its not a bug, why have I to recompile it to make it works? My suggestion: create a compile parameter to compile PHP and its modules with a bigger file descriptor limit (e.g. --big-fd-limit). That's my two cents. ;-) -- Marcelo Coelho Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-23 22:48:03] jani@php.net Apparently this isn't any PHP bug like already said many times. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-14 05:05:45] marcelo at tpn dot com dot br Now fsockopen crashes apache, but only when PHP is in apache module mode. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-07-11 12:40:39] jani@php.net So you're saying this problem exist in PHP 5.2.3 also? If so, please set the version in this report to "5.2.3, 4.4.7" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-05-03 18:29:51] marcelo at tpn dot com dot br This is a PHP problem. I have both CGI and Apache Module. fsockopen() works on CGI mode, but doesn't in Apache Module. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-04-05 19:59:08] tony2001@php.net >The system is always returning EINPROGRESS. Why is that PHP problem? Fix your system instead. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
