Bug #18564 Updated: PHP 4.2.1+ hangs on certain pages

ID: 18564 Updated by: james@stealthnet.co.uk Reported By: james@stealthnet.co.uk Status: Feedback Bug Type: Reproducible crash Operating System: FreeBSD 4.5 PHP Version: 4.2.2 New Comment: Installed the CGI edition of that snapshot and so far on that one script it's worked 2/2 times. Not to say the old version didn't, but it'll take some testing before I'm confident that the problem is fixed in this snapshot. I'll load it up on my dev box and see what breaks. Stay tuned.

After a system crash I couldn’t access my website anymore. I used lynx to connect to my site and it hangs displaying this message: “HTTP request sent; waiting for response”. I tried to access to a subdirectory and my PHP pages are displayed correctly. (All pages are accessing the same mysql database). I tried an other subdirectory and the browser hangs again. This was Linux Suse 7.2 (2.4.4) with preinstalled Apache and mod_php4.0.6. I thought I could solve the problem by updating apache to 1.3.26 and PHP to 4.2.2. The problem is still the same. Apache doesn’t recognize any connect attempts, because no log file (error.log, access.log) contains any information about my connect attempts to non-working PHP pages. I created a PHP file containing “<? phpinfo() ?>” and put it into the non working web root directory. This file is displayed correctly. I tried the same with a more complex PHP file not accessing a mysql database. It worked. How is it possible that all PHP files of a whole directory accessing mysql databases are working and the same! files (copy, paste) in the next directory aren’t? see it in action: www.c-f-s.de/community/ //isn't working www.c-f-s.de/board/ //is working ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-26 05:40:17] james@stealthnet.co.uk Got it to crash this time: r2b% sudo php -f xml-database.php > db.xml php in free(): warning: recursive call php in free(): warning: recursive call php in free(): warning: recursive call php in free(): warning: recursive call php in free(): warning: recursive call php in free(): warning: recursive call php in free(): warning: recursive call zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) sudo php -f xml-database.php > db.xml I'm talking to people in charge to get a snapshot copy of the script and database posted for you.
