#18126 [Opn->Csd]: PHP page viewing crashes the server

ID: 18126 User updated by: mrickert85@yahoo.com Reported By: mrickert85@yahoo.com -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: IIS related Operating System: Windows 2000 Professional PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: I've taken to using the CGI interface instead (after awhile of struggling because of stupidity...) I'm closing this and submitting how to set up php using the CGI interface for Sambar. 1) Associate the filetype .php (or whatever extension(s) you are using) with the php cgi executable. You may do this using the "Open file with application..." dialog opened when attempting to open a php file, assuming you havn't allready selected some other app to open it with, and browsing to the cgi executable, and checking the 'allways use this program to open this filetype' or whatever it says...something similar to that... 2) In the sambar administration panel, goto "CGI Extensions" and make sure to add *.php (that was the part I was stupid about and frogot...as I just thought of php as being interpreted by the cgi...). -or- you may open up config.ini and add the *.php part to the CGI Extensions key. Example (my own line): CGI Extensions = *.php I think that's it...my server is running smooth now or I'd try the ISAPI forms to help check the problem...however, I _DO_ want to keep my site up as much as possible, and hence must refrain from downloading the quite possibly buggy beta (altough I think they release the 5.2 version non beta today...) and tinkering with my cgi settings again.

Each time it views the page with <? phpinfo(); ?>, it loads half of it, then reboots. MySQL is also being run on the server. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-03 19:03:34] msopacua@idg.nl Hi, could you please upgrade your sambar version to at least 5.2b1 and retry? Reason: http://www.sambar.ch/cdevarch/msg01016.html Secondly - I've seen reports on this happening when MySQL is installed on the same machine in combination with ISAPI interfaces. If you uninstall MySQL, and use another computer for the that, does the error disappear? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-03 18:36:20] mrickert85@yahoo.com I set everything up using the CGI interface (after a long series of strugles trying to get my server to recognize php as a script...) and it works fine that way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-03 01:14:14] mrickert85@yahoo.com Allright, it seems that viewing any PHP page has a chance of crashing my system. Here is a list of specs.. Compaq Presario 600mhz PII 256MB Ram 14GB Hard Drive MySQL Server 4.1 Sambar 5.0 server and I just downloaded PHP from this site. This machine has no other software installed on it. Upon viewing any php page, there is a chance of making the computer suddenly reboot. This only happens if you are viewing the page from a computer other than the one it is hosted on. I am using the ISAPI method of running it. This error dosnt occur with non php pages, and seems totally random on the server. Sometimes it will crash the server like this as soon as the page is requested, other times I'll be left with half of the document (which is rare). I am going to attempt to install the CGI interface, but I thought I ought to inform you of the problem beforehand. I have not been able to get any debug info from my server relating in any way to it. Even the simple phpinfo.php page ( <% phpinfo(); %> ) crashes it. Please help!!! Thank you!!! -Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18126&edit=1
