Bug #53744 [NEW]: php_admin_value engine off causes random misbehaviour

From: Operating system: RHEL 5 x86_64 PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Scripting Engine problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:php_admin_value engine off causes random misbehaviour Description: ------------ (Upgrade is not an option, it is extremely tedious to use a version different from the one coming with the OS) PHP-scripts are occasionally displayed instead of executed. This happens completely randomly and a reload fixes it. Googling shows other people have been suffering from this, but no solution can be found. Now we noticed, that removing php_admin_value engine off -directives from the server config removes the problem. The possibility to forbid absolutely execution of php_scripts in a directory is, however, useful and this kind of random behaviour is clearly a bug. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53744&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53744&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53744&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53744&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53744&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53744&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53744&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53744&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53744&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53744&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53744&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53744&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53744&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53744&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53744&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53744&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53744&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53744&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53744&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53744&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53744&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53744&r=mysqlcfg
