[Apache: Child process exited with status 3221226324]

Hello Printf,

first I would like to thank you for your precious comment, it does make sense as the crashes occur mostly during peak time.

I created a test machine (god bless vmware) and added these lines:

 

ScriptAlias /php/ "D:/!Websites/PHP-5/"

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .inc

Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php-cgi.exe"

 

It seems to work well, I will test it a little bit more and keep you posted on the outcome for production.

 

P.S.: we have already planned a migration to Linux OS

 

Thanks again,

Roberto.

[Apache: Child process exited with status 3221226324]

I have a WAMP server:

RAM: 2GB

VMWare: Win 2003 SP2

PHP 5.2.6

Apache 2.2.9

Heavily loaded: 8000 users per day, up to 800 concurrent connections

ThreadLimit 800

Threadsperchild 800

 

I'm already aware WAMP is not suitable for heavily loaded production servers (Linux would be better)

 

once a day (approx.) the service restarts with this error: child process exited with status 3221226324

Sometimes the service restarts with this error (less frequently): "Cannot initialize zend_mm storage"

 

In a previous post on this forum James told me this exit code might be due to the crash of a PHP extension.

 

Assuming the PHP extensions are only specified in the php.ini and that they are the ones declared after the "extension=" tag, I see these 5:

 

extension=php_gd2.dll

extension=php_mysql.dll

extension=php_bz2.dll

extension=php_mbstring.dll

extension=php_mcrypt.dll

 

The first two are needed, the other 3 I don't know.

Is there a way to know which extensions I need?

Is there a way to know which extension is crashing?

 

Any feedback would be welcome,

 

Bye,

Roberto.
