php5.2-latest include same mistake.

Your patch can't be right, 'cause it breaks FastCGI SAPI.
What are you trying to fix and why?

I am sorry,I mistake.

Reproduce code is following.

php-5.2.3/sapi/cgi/tests/include.inc

15c15
<               } else if (strpos($version, "(cgi")) {
---
>               } else if (strpos($version, "(cgi)")) {

This is a patch, not a reproduce code.
And I still don't understabd what are you trying to fix with this patch.

I just recently ran into this same problem on a Solaris 8 box. My 
configure looks like this:

./configure
      --prefix=/local/apps/php/php-5.2.3
      --with-config-file-path=/local/apps/php
      --with-ldap=/local/apps/ldap/openldap-2.3.11
      --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
      --with-mcal=/local/apps/mcal
      --with-gd
      --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local
      --with-libxml-dir=/local/apps/libxml
      --with-png-dir=/usr/local
      --with-zlib
      --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local
      --with-pear
      --enable-discard-path 

"make test" runs okay until it trys to run sapi/cgi/tests/
001.phpt.  Then it starts spawning off dozens of processes until 
the system slows to a crawl and I have to kill 'make test'.  

When I use the --with-apxs2 option with configure, the cgi binary 
doesn't get built and 'make test' doesn't have this problem - I'm 
assuming because it's not running the cgi tests.  So, the problem 
seems to be related to the cgi build.

No feedback was provided for this bug for over a week, so it is
being suspended automatically. If you are able to provide the
information that was originally requested, please do so and change
the status of the bug back to "Open".

This bug is still present in php-5.2.5 with Solaris 9 (SPARC). As soon as "make test" reaches the sapi/cgi tests, many php-cgi processes are spawned recursively, apparently without end, almost blocking the whole machine. I have not tested php-5 versions beside 5.2.3 and 5.2.5. The bug never occurred with any php-4 versions.

Hi,

I am having the same issue.  I am building php 5.2.8 on Solaris 8.  

When the make test runs the sapi/cgi/tests/ the test spawns hundres of php scripts and I am forced to kill the tests.  Was there ever a resolution to this issue?  Thank you for your time.


Here is my configure script switches:

./configure  --enable-debug --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-iconv=/usr/local \
--with-gd=/usr/local --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local --with-png-dir=/usr/local \
--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local --with-xpm-dir=/usr/local \
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local --with-ldap=/usr/local --enable-mbstring

Hi,

Tried compilinging php with a new version of apache 2.2.11, and installed gnu sed, awk, and make.  My issue went away.  When I test, I do not get multiple spawning processes.

FYI - I had to compile apr and apr-util to get php 5.2.8 running on apache 2.2.11 on Solaris 8.  I had used the pre-compiled versions and they caused the install to fail.
