ID: 6897 Updated by: sniper Reported By: sal@wiggum.com Old-Status: Feedback Status: Closed Bug Type: OCI8 related Assigned To: Comments: User reported problem solved by updating system and using PHP 4.0.4. --Jani Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-01-07 19:45:48] sniper@php.net Does this happen with PHP 4.0.4 ? --Jani --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-09-27 02:15:05] sal@wiggum.com PHP 4.0.2, Oracle 8i libs, Apache 1.3.12 Config script: './configure' '--with-mysql=/usr/local' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-trans-sid' '--with-config-file=/usr/local/apache/conf' '--with-xml' '--disable-debug' '--with-oracle' '--with-oci8' '--with-gd=/usr/local' '--with-cybercash=/root/src/mck-3.2.0.6-i586-pc-linux-gnulibc2.1' '--enable-sigchild' When I compile in Oracle, and OCI8 support into PHP, it leaves a lot of defunct apache processes around. [libhttpd.ep <defunct>] I read on the mailing list a fix is to --enable-sigchild in php and compile apache with -lpthread, but that didn't work. A request to apache once there are these defunct processes around will just hang until apache is restarted, or those processes die out. There is no core dump. I have 80 of those in memory right now. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=6897
