Bug #10945 Updated: Apache core dumps when PHP4.0.5 is activated via LoadModule

ID: 10945 User Update by: morgan@hecate.pdnt.net Status: Analyzed Bug Type: Apache related Operating system: AIX 4.3.3 (MU8) PHP Version: 4.0.5 Description: Apache core dumps when PHP4.0.5 is activated via LoadModule Somehow, I'd guessed that AIX would finish low on the "supported list". One note, for anyone that's stuck with this config -> I installed iPlanet Web Server 4.1SP7, to see if maybe NSAPI would work, and I got problems that were much like the ones with Apache. BUT -> when I didn't specify a web server to support, I got a "normal" binary for PHP, which I could use as a CGI interpreter. One comment about this though, when a script starts with "#!/opt/php4/bin/php", that was displayed at the top of the web page, but what was below worked fine (in this case, "<? phpinfo(); ?>"). Any idea how to get rid of that ?? (removing the text broke the script, and I got nothing but the content of the php file with no execution). That would give a "valid" solution for AIX people. (I guess installing Linux on the RS6000 would work too, but that's such a pain...) --Morgan morgan@hecate.pdnt.net Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-05-18 01:36:47] rasmus@php.net There is no "supported list". But, obviously operating systems that are more common end up getting more attention and more testing. AIX is near the bottom of that list. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-05-18 01:29:51] morgan@hecate.pdnt.net Tried recompiling everything with IBM Visual Age C v5.01. No change. I also tried linking with the pthread library for the httpd binary, like rasmus@php.net said to try, but no luck. Quick question: is AIX on the "supported" list ?? Is this supposed to work ?? --Morgan morgan@hecate.pdnt.net --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-05-17 21:49:55] rasmus@php.net On systems that use glibc-2.1.x there is a bug in glibc that prevents a binary not linked against pthreads to dynamically load a shared library that is linked against pthreads. Perhaps this problem also exists on AIX? Try linking your Apache httpd against libpthreads. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-05-17 20:57:44] morgan@hecate.pdnt.net Apache-1.3.19 compiles clean under gcc-2.95.3 with: $ ./configure --prefix=/opt/apache --enable-module=so <junk deleted> $ make <junk deleted> # make install <junk deleted> Apache starts cleanly and generally works fine. PHP4.0.5 compiles clean under gcc-2.95.3 with: $ ./configure --prefix=/opt/php --with-apxs=/opt/apache/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/opt/mysql <junk deleted> $ make <junk deleted> # make install <junk deleted> Howver when I stop Apache and start it back up again, it doesn't start. It dumps core. When I rem out the LoadModule directive for the php module in httpd.conf, Apache starts up fine. [ FYI: it's MySQL 3.23.34a (--prefix=/opt/mysql --with-pthreads) ] Any suggections on how to troubleshoot it ? If you have a use for the core, I can send it to you. More info: RS/6000-43P/132 AIX 4.3.3 (maintenance update 8) gcc-2.95.3 Only other software installed on the system is GNU make-3.79.1 and bash-2.04. Any help is greatly appreciated. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=10945
