Bug #9852 Updated: Header redirect and db connection cause "CGI misbehaved"

ID: 9852 Updated by: taomyn@hotmail.com Reported By: ron.baldwin@sourceprose.com Status: Open Bug Type: IIS related Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: I also meant to add that the site counter and other parts use MySQL as it's db - in case that helps. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-06 03:24:05] taomyn@hotmail.com I am getting the same issues with 4.2.1 under Win2k and IIS (small site, not much access), but it's happening with both the EXE and ISAPI modules, and happens immediately after any access to Activer Server Pages! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-04 16:04:59] theo.schoeberl@tssystems.de We have tested usleepWindows(200000) and it works for us. It also works within frames on a virtual site! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-04 15:49:23] theo.schoeberl@tssystems.de Sorry, we have the same problem on a site with no frames and with a real (and its own) ip address! I think its a problem with des MSSQL-Library. There are a lot of articles in the microsoft knowledgebase! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-04 10:45:48] michael.lidgren@journalistgruppen.se This is from the mailing list; i think it might be relevant to this bug: <snip> Hi, we've a lot of trouble using PHP on IIS5/Win2000sp2-Server. The machine is a 2xPIII(1,3Ghz), 1280MB RAM, really fast. The problem is that sometimes the IIS doesn't execute the php.exe, instead it shows a "CGI Application error - wrong or incomplete header data...." This problem only occurs on this fast server and only with a website that uses frames. I suppose that the IIS launches different threads to render the frames and isn't able to do the IO to the php.exe for every thread. To test this we wrote a little script wich shows 12 Frames, filled with a little PHP-Skript that only shows one line of text. On the slow machine theres no problem. On the fast machine, same software, we get the cgi-error in round about every 50th or 60th frame (refresh..)

Just for fun, I tried: $aconn = mssql_pconnect($db_servername, $login, $passwd); $bconn = mssql_pconnect($db_servername, $login, $passwd); ... and got this interesting error: <B>Warning: Unknown persistent list entry type in module shutdown (22) in Unknown on line 0</B> --Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
