#27620 [Com]: Apache Child Segfaults Using OCI8 and "PutEnv"

ID: 27620 Comment by: paul dot g dot smith at cantos dot com Reported By: bmuller at milchstrasse dot de Status: No Feedback Bug Type: OCI8 related Operating System: RedHat ES 3 PHP Version: 5CVS-2004-03-17 (dev) New Comment: We upgraded our PHP installation (running on RH 3.0ES) from 4.3.6 to 4.3.8 today. Code previously working fine is now segfaulting 99% of the time inside OCILogin(). Absolutely reproducible. PHP was built from source both times. With 4.3.6 it worked fine. With 4.3.8 the segfault is solid and reproducible. No other changes eg to the Oracle client installation. Viz it can't be blamed on Oracle, the only thing that changed was the PHP version, therefore suspicion is that it points at something broken in the new version of PHP. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-17 04:11:35] derick@php.net 5$ that it crashes inside the Oracle library ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-17 03:37:16] tony2001@php.net You're right, ocilogon() doesn't connect, but it should generate 'ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name' error as it does for me. It shouldn't segfault anyway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-17 03:23:24] derick@php.net Since when does putenv work? The libraries are initialized before the script runs... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-17 03:10:11] tony2001@php.net Derick, it should work with putenv() too. [bmuller at milchstrasse dot de], plz, provide a backtrace. Read here: http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php about generating a backtrace. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-17 03:05:54] bmuller at milchstrasse dot de Thanks for the RTFM, but when something segfaults, I think it IS a problem, and yes, I _did_ set the env before starting the webserver. This application has been running on PHP 4.x for the last 2 years, _without_ segfaulting. Don't you guys thing a more professional solution / comment would be apropriate? Thanks in advance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
