ID: 30405 Comment by: aaron at gwmicro dot com Reported By: joel at preacherboy dot net Status: Open Bug Type: Apache2 related Operating System: Windows 2003 PHP Version: 5.0.2 New Comment: I can consistenly reproduce this problem. [Wed Oct 20 14:08:43 2004] [notice] Parent: child process exited with status 4294967295 -- Restarting. Here's how we're duplicating it under Windows Server 2003, running Apache/2.0.52 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.0.52 OpenSSL/0.9.7d PHP/5.1.0-dev: <? $filename = "c:\\demo\\demo.exe"; $fileInfo = stat($filename); $length = $fileInfo[7]; header("Content-Length: $length"); header("Content-Type:application/octet-stream"); header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); header("Connection: close"); header("Content-Length: $length"); header("Content-Type:application/octet-stream"); header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=demo.exe"); header("Pragma: no-cache"); $fh = fopen($filename, "rb"); while (!feof($fh)) { $buffer = fread($fh, 1024); print $buffer; } fclose($fh); header("Connection: close"); ?> The demo file is about 35MB, and if you cancel the download half-way through, you'll consistently get this error in the apache log, and the child restarting process will happen. The line right before the restart is: [Wed Oct 20 14:08:42 2004] [info] (OS 10054)An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. : core_output_filter: writing data to the network I can duplicate this problem 100% of the time.

I see 2 other people have voted that they are able to reproduce the issue. Is there anything else you need to regress the bug? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-12 16:26:44] joel at preacherboy dot net I can't think what else I would need to do in explaining how to regress this bug. It happens quite easily. Have you even tried my suggestions? Do you need something else like my httpd.conf to get started? This bug seems identical to what was mentioned in bug #25570. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-12 09:07:39] derick@php.net I don't know what details I want, it's that Windows is simply impossible to debug. You'll have to come up with some really good pointers, otherwise we can just as well delete this bugreport. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-12 08:41:40] joel at preacherboy dot net You're going to have to ask what details you're looking for. I've already read that page. There aren't any specific steps to get this error to occur and existing information is available in the links I provided,but I'll do my best to make this a step-by-step process 1. Install Apache 2.0.52 / PHP 5.0.2 on Windows 2003. 2. Create a website of pages linking each other. 3. View these pages, clicking through links like crazy, using another system. After a few clicks, Apache2 will restart itself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-12 08:37:48] derick@php.net Not enough information was provided for us to be able to handle this bug.
