Apache module in PHP - child process exited with status 3221225477 -- Restarting

[leenakhera]

I have question related to configure Apache for PHP 5.  I am new in Apache.We have setup the Windows machine with Apache and PHP 5. We are not sure which way to use to setup Apache to use PHP. Below are 2 methods:

 

1. Installed PHP as an apache Module

2. Configure it to run the interpreter as a CGI binary

 

Our Server was configured as interpreter CGI binary and during the high traffic on web site multiple instance of php-cgi is running, it makes the server very slow and CPU is laoded 100% .

 

And then when we installed PHP as apache module, it’s stopping the apache server very frequently. Can you suggest the reason why it is stopping every time? it shows following error in log:

child process exited with status 3221225477 -- Restarting

 

We are not sure which way apache should be configured to use the PHP 5. I think php installed as apache module is good on web site.

 

Can you please help us why this error is coming

 

Thanka a lot.
