Req #76225 [Com]: ini setting to not empty opcache when php-fpm is reloaded

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76225&edit=1 ID: 76225 Comment by: post at minhost dot no Reported by: post at minhost dot no Summary: ini setting to not empty opcache when php-fpm is reloaded Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: opcache Operating System: CentOS 7.4 PHP Version: 7.1.16 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: When compiling PHP with --enable-debug, PHP runs to slow for me to do this on production servers. As I said, the crash only happen sporadic, and it can be anything from days to weeks before it happen again. So I can't do the backtrace on my production servers. Instead I will try to setup a copy of the sites on a test VPS, and run backtrace on that test server instead. I can only hope I will be able to trigger the crashes when it is only a copy of the live sites. I will then try to reproduce the crashes of both InfititeWP in this bug https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76205 and on Drupal sites when running update.php (described in the bug report I am commenting on now). Please note that this bug report was a feature request. But I guess it does not matter if I use the comment field here. This could take time ...

Alternatively, if you do not want to install additional software on a production server, it is also in principle possible to copy the core dump to a different machine that has gdb installed and analyze it there. However, this requires that both the php-fpm binary and shared objects are the same on the other machine. This tends to be more finicky, so if you can directly install gdb, I'd recommend going that way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-04-16 12:03:27] post at minhost dot no Thanks for the information. However this is new to me. I did try to see if GDB is installed, here is some output: [root@server~]# which -a gdb /usr/bin/which: no gdb in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/.local/bin:/root/bin) [root@server~]# locate -eb '\gdb' /usr/share/gdb [root@server~]# gdb -help -bash: gdb: command not found [root@server~]# gdb php-fpm /usr/local/php71/bin -bash: gdb: command not found [root@server ~]# gdb /usr/local/php71/bin -bash: gdb: command not found Any help to point me in the right direction? If not I will have to seek outside technical advice on this, wich could take several days or weeks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-04-16 11:41:54] nikic@php.net Sure, that's exactly what core dumps are for :) You need to run "gdb php-fpm path-to-core-file" and then "bt" or "bt full". It may be necessary to specify a full path to the php-fpm binary and to install debug symbols from your package manager, if they aren't installed yet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-04-16 11:34:54] post at minhost dot no Is it possible to do after it has happened? As said it only happen sporadic. Also can you please point me to some guides for creating a backtrace from the core dumps AFTER the crash has already happened? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-04-16 11:30:15] nikic@php.net Can you please provide the backtrace(s) from the core dumps of the crashes? That may be enough to diagnose the problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
