Status: Open
Bug Type: Java related
Operating System: Windows 2000
PHP Version: 4.2.3
New Comment:
I personally have experienced the same problem with the 1.4.0_02 SDK
externally connected to php4.3.1 under Win2K.
I had very frequently the aforementioned 'Unable to create Java Virtual
Machine' error and after a number of tests I discovered that such error
never happened the first time I restarted the php engine by restarting
the Apache server.
This made me think that the JVM is left in an abnormal state after the
php interpreter exits the page.
For this reason I inserted an explicit call to the System.exit(0) at
the very end of the page and this solved all the problems! The only
side effect is that now it is mandatory to call the flush() php
function, or the page will not be completely shown...

isnt there a way to close the instantiated class and release the
resources?????
like the unset() command....
seems that would clear any resource retention problem and allow php to
reinstantiate the jvm.

Hi,
I am using PHP as a SAPI modlue in Apache (as it was recommended in the
readme file that its unsafe to use PHP in CGI mode) on windows.
Whenever I try to use a java class I keep on getting this problem
"Unable to create Java Virtual Machine". Some people have sggested to
use CGI version instead of SAPI. But I dont wanna use it for the
reasons mentioned above. I am wondering, if there exist any patch which
can eliminate this problem.
Thanks,
Sohel Merchant.

Running Apache 1.3.22 and PHP 4.3.1 as module,
sablotron IS NOT enabled,
and I use JDK 1.4.0_01
after many times configuring php.ini
(there is jvm.dll bundled with my php distrib
but it seems to be useless, I used the jvm.dll
into the jre\server directory).
well well well...
it works when my PHP code is fully clean,
even if I reload my page several times.
now, let's try to make a little error...
if i try to create an object
(using $o = new Java(java_class_name))
if the class exists... no problem, if it
doesn't, just get an error but all is ok,
now if I try a java_class_name starting
with a lowercase character...
-> Unable to load virtual machine
ok ok. close explorer, modify the script,
and rewrite it correctly... lauching IE...
and the script...
-> Unable to load virtual machine
seems that if one error occurs everything after
is bad, even if it would not !
-> and then, the only thing to do is to shutdown
apache, and restart it... then the script goes ok...
conclusion. at the first error, shutdown and restart
apache, aaaaaargh ????
NOTE : this is only true for the apache module, when
using the cli version of php (command line), no
probleme with java VM...
hope it helps.
