Bug #76327 [NEW]: long path support not available for Windows Server 2008 r2 sp1-Apache restarted

From: tumul dot kumar at veneratech dot com Operating system: Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 PHP version: 7.1.17 Package: Apache related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:long path support not available for Windows Server 2008 r2 sp1-Apache restarted Description: ------------ I'm using Apache 2.4.29 (Win 64), Php 7.1.12. I'm unable to use php functions such as file_exists() for long file path (having length more than 259) Whereas it is feature of Php 7.1 which works fine with Windows 10. Support must be in windows server 2008 r2 sp1 as it is not written anywhere that php 7.1 or Apache 2.4.29 (Win 64) don't support long file path feature for this window version. Test script: --------------- <?php //You may give any long path having length of more than 259 characters echo file_put_contents("C:\ProgramData\Pulsar\Jobs_Report\Pul0510_112_third - Copddddddddddddddddddddddddddddyssssssssssssssslllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllxyz\abc.txt"); ?> Expected result: ---------------- If path is accessible it must return 1, otherwise 0 Actual result: -------------- Apache is being restarted. In apache error log, following Error message is being printed - ([Wed May 09 19:21:03.822918 2018] [mpm_winnt:notice] [pid 3776:tid 328] AH00428: Parent: child process 5360 exited with status 255 -- Restarting) -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76327&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76327&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76327&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76327&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76327&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76327&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76327&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76327&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76327&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76327&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76327&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76327&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76327&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76327&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76327&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76327&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76327&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76327&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76327&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76327&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76327&r=mysqlcfg
