Intermittently Occuring CGI Error Update and Info

Hi All, I've been working, with others, and trying to figure out the error: CGI Error The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:. If you get the error consistently, i.e. everytime you try and load a page, the cause is some type of permissions setting. See the install.txt in yor PHP directory. MS also has a nice KB article at: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q160/4/22.asp However, the problems gets way more interesting if your are running PHP in CGI mode on IIS. You MAY get an intermittent CGI error similar to the one above. An explanation of the problems, according to MS, can be found at: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q217/2/02.ASP A supposed fix to the problem can be found at: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q142/6/76.asp Now, the interesting part is that on my configuration (Win2K, PHP 4.0.6) the fix is already completed as specified in the KB article, in fact, there is an extra 512 at the end of the reg. key string they say you should edit. Don't know why. Yet, I still get the CGI error intermittently. So, not knowing very much about programming, it seems that PHP isn't closing correctly or something and after enough requests that run PHP and call a desktop heap, Windows runs out of memory to create a new desktop heap. The explanation at the MS KB is very consistent with what I am experiencing. That articles is at: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q156/4/84.asp My question to Phil, and Daniel, and the development team for PHP, and even Frank is that do these behaviors jog anything in those brains of yours? I guess I wanted to document everything as much as possible to help the developers, and because I needed to prove to myself that I'm not crazy. It's obviously not PHP alone because I can sit at the console all day with the php.exe -i command and not get an error. But the combination of Header("Location: blah.html") with something (say the MS_SQL module the only module running) causes Windows to run out of memory. I've since gone to the ISAPI module and although that fixes the CGI errors, it seems to have a totally different set of problems (which I know it is supposed to have). In any case, something changed somewhere (in a version of PHP or Windows) because this problem never used to happen. I'm trying to back track and see where it was last stable. Thanks everyone, and I hope this helps provide some insight to the problem. -Flint _________________________________________________ Flint Doungchak, President Net Solutions, LLC 840 Lawrence Street Eugene, OR 97401 flint@netsolutionsllc.com Voice +1 541 345-7087 Fax +1 541 485-5519 http://www.netsolutionsllc.com *************************************************************** The contents of this transmission may be confidential in nature and should be directed only to the person to whom it is addressed.
