Re: Module startup/shutdown in PHP extensions

I believe this is because when apache does it's intial configtest run as part of start (to validate it's config), it has to do a complete startup (otherwise it wouldn't know about conf params used by modules loaded as DSOs. So you see a startup; shutdown; startup. On Friday, July 19, 2002, at 03:59 AM, Jon Parise wrote:

Now the problem is when I start apache (net start apache) php seems to call the module startup function and then it calls the module shutdown function immediately afterwards. The request startup and shutdown functions seem to work as expected, i.e. they get called when I make a request to apache. If I then stop apache (net stop apache) the module shutdown function gets called as expected. It's just when starting that the problem occurs. Is this the expected behaviour and if so is there anyway of telling in the module shutdown function if the module really is shutting down or have I done something completely wrong?

I have seen this behaviour too, I guess PHP just works this way, it calls the module startup and shutdown function pair once on initilization.

I'm only guessing, but that may occur when Apache does it's initial fork(s). It's been a while since I worked with the Apache module API, though. -- Jon Parise (jon@csh.rit.edu) .
