Bug #17614: After a few hours, PHP scripts are returned as-is and not run

From: bmerry@cs.uct.ac.za Operating system: Debian/unstable PHP version: 4.2.1 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: After a few hours, PHP scripts are returned as-is and not run First some more details: - PHP from Debian package php4_2:4.2.1-3. - Apache-ssl from Debian package apache-ssl_1.3.24.3+1.48-2 - Linux 2.4.18 The website is running a "main" site, a number of virtual hosts with PHP disabled (engine off) and a virtual host in which UserDir's are enabled. UserDir scripts are put into safe mode via a <Directory /home/*/public_html> block. After running the server for a few hours, the main site still works fine but all user scripts are returned to the client verbatim e.g. I have a script that just contains <?php phpinfo(); ?> and when I 'view source' in the browser that is exactly what I see. When I SIGHUP apache, all is well again for an hour or so and then it stops working again. Looking in the apache logs I don't see any indication of the problem. I can't even tell if this is an Apache problem (not passing the script to the PHP module or a PHP problem) - if you have any test I can do for this let me know. I haven't attached any server info since it is rather large. You can see the output of phpinfo() at http://www.smuts.uct.ac.za/phpinfo.php. The test script above is at http://users.smuts.uct.ac.za/~bmerry/test.php. It will either give you the output of phpinfo() or the script verbatim. If you want other info (such as the Apache config) let me know. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17614&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17614&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17614&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17614&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17614&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17614&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17614&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17614&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17614&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17614&r=globals
