#15439 [Opn->Fbk]: PHP hangs web server when started

ID: 15439 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: cboyce45@yahoo.com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: iPlanet related Operating System: AIX 4.3.3 PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-28 09:13:32] lbalbalba@hotmail.com I have the same problem, on the same platform using the same PHP version, and reproducible for PHP 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 as well. libphp4.so *is* made, but strangely enough its located in the '.libs' directory instead of 'libs', which 'make install' chokes on. I used the following work around for the 'make-install' issue (cp ./.libs/* ./libs), but then the server choked on server-startup. I got some more information when I discovered that in my case, iPlanet is recieving signal 11/segmentation fault and trying to dump core when it 'hangs'. It's the uxwdog process that restarts it/keeps it from crashing, giving the impression that the server is 'frozen'. In order to get a core file and some more info: Make sure the account you are running the server as, can write to "/usr/netscape/server4/https-<servername>/config/core". By default, the core file should be located there. Make sure that the filesystem this dir is in has enough space for a corefile. Make sure there is no limit set for dumping core for the user-id the server is running under, by checking the users stanza in '/etc/security/limits' (set core=-1). start the httpd manually (instead of using the 'start' script) by doing: cd /usr/netscape/server4/bin/https/bin ./ns-httpd -d /usr/netscape/server4/https-servername>/config Also, check the aix error log for messages by doing: errpt -a | more If you are running syslog, check that logfile too for messages from uxwdog. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-08 21:28:19] cboyce45@yahoo.com I tried to compile php 4.1.1 before I used 4.0.6, but 4.1.1 would run through the ./configure, and make, and fail on make install. It would not make libphp4.so where 4.0.6 had no problem making libphp4.so. Thanks, Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-07 21:56:28] yohgaki@php.net The version of PHP that this bug was reported in is too old. Please try to reproduce this bug in the latest version of PHP (available from http://www.php.net/downloads.php If you are still able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest versions of PHP, please change the PHP version on this bug report to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-07 17:25:59] cboyce45@yahoo.com The web server hangs when you go to a page, almost seems like a loop and does not seem to time out. When php is commented out in obj.conf, magnus.com, and mime.types the webserver works fine. I am using iPlanet 4.1 SP9, on AIX 4.3.3 I have downloaded and installed gcc, bison, flex, autoconf, automake, make and many others from freeware.bull.net export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH:/usr/vac/bin:/usr/ccs/bin export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib PHP 4.0.6 compile line CC=gcc ./configure --without-mysql \ --with-nsapi=/usr/netscape/server4 \ --with-dbm \ --with-gdbm \ --enable-libgcc compiles fine, i used dump -n to see the libpthread was included. I have even tried to compile this without dbm and gdbm support and still the same problem. Thanks for any help, Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15439&edit=1
