Description Adam Thompson 1999-06-04 18:00:28 UTC
- Installed SRPMs for apache (1.3.6-8), mod_php3 (3.0.8-1)
and MySQL (3.22.22-1);
(MySQL SRPM came directly from www.tcx.se)
- compiled MySQL rpms, all went fine.  Built and installed
without error.  MySQL seems to be completely stable (so
far :-)
- edited mod_php3.spec, added "--with-mysql" to configure
command.  Built and installed without error.
- rebuilt/installed apache without error
- rebuilt/reinstalled mod_php3 (just in case, 'cuz I just
reinstalled apache-devel... wasn't sure if there were any
dependencies)

So far, so good... mod_php3 is compiled with MySQL support,
apache dynamically loads mod_php3 correctly, everything
seems OK.

Accessing PHP3 pages that do database access causes apache
to report:
[Thu Jun  3 21:19:41 1999] [notice] child pid 22534 exit
signal Segmentation fault (11)

there also appears to be a bug in calling external programs
from php3, as if I attempt to execute
"/usr/bin/mysqladmin --user=root --password= --
host=localhost --port= version"
from inside a PHP page, I *also* see in the error_log:
sh: /mysqladmin: No such file or directory
sh: /mysqladmin: No such file or directory
sh: /mysqladmin: No such file or directory

immediately followed by a notice of a child SEGVing.

I know php3.0.8 changed a couple of things related to
glibc2.1; I'm wondering if this could be another glibc2.1-
related issue?

Incidentally, this box was *supposed* to be my production
server.... *sigh*

Forgot to mention: when provoking this bug, I do frequently
get "document has no data" errors from Netscape.  The child is indeed
sometimes dying before it outputs data!

Comment 2 Preston Brown 1999-06-14 21:17:59 UTC
I take it this worked in previous PHP3 RPMs?  We have no experience
with MySQL.

Comment 3 Adam Thompson 1999-06-17 14:58:59 UTC
Actually, the last working configuration was RH5.2;
further investigation has revealed that PHP 3.0.8 and newer have some
problems with MySQL on Intel gcc- and egcs- based platforms.

Rolling back to PHP 3.0.7 fixes the problem on everything EXCEPT
RedHat 6.0, since 3.0.7 breaks with glibc2.1.

Comment 4 Preston Brown 1999-08-28 05:23:59 UTC
this should be resolved with php 3.0.12, available in RawHide (and the
next release, eventually).  Please open this bug again if this is not
the case.
