Apache log has '[crit] (OS 6)The handle is invalid. : master_main: create child process failed. Exiting.', but I'm not sure if its related or not. I've tried virtually every combination of PHP > 5.3.0 and Apache > 2.2.11. Tried on two different machines and several different OSes (XP professional SP3, 2k3 enterprise sp2 and 2k3 standard sp2). I had a friend try an XAMMP package on his machine a while back and it had exactly the same issue. I usually do a standard installation (defaults except for phpmanual and an install path of w:\php) I'm going to raise a bug on the Apache bug tracker as well since I really don't know which package is at fault. I am confident with computers (though programming is not my field) so feel free to ask for further information, and I'll do my best to provide it. I am only able to test on Win XP Pro, as my 2k3 standard system is a production server, and I don't currently have a 2k3 enterprise machine Test script: --------------- N/A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52191&edit=1
