#15746 [Opn->Fbk]: Process exec() is slow from webserver - running from shell is ok ...

ID: 15746 Updated by: wez@php.net Reported By: nigel@green-bean.com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Performance problem Operating System: Windows 2000 Server PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: Err, so whats with the cygwin dlls in your netpbm distro?? Cygwin is a unix emulation library for windows. Please try a newer distro, such as the full netpbm release (10.5) mentioned by Chris (gallery@bianco.net). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-27 10:09:58] nigel@green-bean.com Wez, no one is using cygwin in the current setup. This is all run directly from under IIS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-27 01:00:09] php-bugs@lists.php.net No feedback was provided for this bug for over a month, so it is being suspended automatically.

Cygwin does a lot of magic, some of it depends on obscure things like your CYGWIN environmental variable. Perhaps you should all confer and compare your cygwin setups? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-21 04:51:33] gallery@bianco.net Win32 - Full netpbm dist runs at acceptable speed. Was able to fix problem by swithing to full netpbm release (10.5). I only experience the idle CPU problem with the netpbm-gallery 1.1 release, distributed on the gallery site. So it may not be a PHP exec() bug after all. In order to use the full netpbm dist, I needed to make changes to Gallery's config.php: Change: $gallery->app->pnmtojpeg = "ppmtojpeg"; To: $gallery->app->pnmtojpeg = "pnmtojpeg"; ppmtojpeg.exe does not exist in netpbm 10.5. Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-19 15:21:16] nigel@green-bean.com Jon (jonohlsson@hotmail.com) was able to get Gallery and NetPBM running with a mixture of binaries (v10.3 of NetPBM). I had him zip up his installion so I could see if this worked for me. It did not - I still have the same issue as everyone else.
