#15778 [Fbk->Csd]: Segmentation Fault with iPlanet module on php4_init

ID: 15778 User updated by: lbalbalba@hotmail.com Reported By: lbalbalba@hotmail.com -Status: Feedback +Status: Closed Bug Type: iPlanet related Operating System: AIX 4.3.3 PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: Dear sir, The project I had been assigned to by our organisation, and which had been the reason for me to spend time on this issue, has been cancelled. Because of the way our organisation works (project based), this effectively means that I will no longer be allowed to spend any more of my time on this issue. As far as I am concerned this means that this bug can be closed, because personally I wont be involved with the use of this product any longer. For what it's worth: I downloaded the snapshot you mentioned on my own time, and verified that the nsapi php module for iPlanet 4.1 SP7 on AIX 4.3.3 ML10 still causes the web server to crash on initialisation of the php module. I can create and submit a gdb backtrace if anyone at all is still interested, but im afraid that you're going to have to solve this issue on you own from there on.

This call replaces the need to use "systhread_setdata( getThreadMallocKey(), sn->pool )," which was used in earlier versions of the web server. Note: You may need to forward declare the function when compiling with iWS 4.1. The declaration should appear as follows: NSAPI_PUBLIC void prepare_nsapi_thread (Request * rq, Session * sn); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-06 11:05:18] lbalbalba@hotmail.com Is the NSAPI Module really supposed to use pthreads ? In the Netscape Knowledge Base, at : http://kb.netscape.com/NASApp/kb/Article?id=2861&?GXHC_gx_session_id_=f5d6dd1516942f3c& its stated that "... NSAPI does not support pthreads ... " Still, that doesnt explain why the same php versions and iPlanet version *do* work correctly on my Linux box, and not on AIX... Ive seen some other bug reports here from people having similair problems with iPlanet and php on the Solaris platform, so I guess its not strictly aix related either ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-28 04:28:36] lbalbalba@hotmail.com Did a new backtrace on the rc1 of 4.2.0, and im not completly sure that this is the same bug, or a new bug here... but anyways, here's the bt: GNU gdb 5.0-aix43-010414 Copyright 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
