./configure  --with-mysql=/usr --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-zlib --with-gd --with-gmp --enable-bcmath --enable-sockets
--enable-debug

php.ini
zlib.output_compression = On

Apache 1.2.37 
./configure \
"--with-layout=Apache" \
"--enable-module=most" \
"--enable-shared=max" \


After the server is running for about 30seconds to 1 min it stops compressing pages. This can been seen by looking at HTTP Response Headers in phpinfo(); and also using http://leknor.com/code/gziped.php to check the page.

Compiled this the same expect without the --enable-debug on a different server also running Redhat 7.2. 

The results are a little different. (Could be the same there is alot less traffic on this server). Basicly i can sit there refreshing a page and sometimes it will compress it sometimes it will not.


Below are some of the access log entrys you can see by the sizes of the pages when it is compressing and when it is not. This can also been seen by refreshing phpinfo(); with a  browser but no way to really show you that.

This also still happens with php4-STABLE-200301282030
 [2003-01-29 00:11 UTC] sniper@php.net 
Is zlib.output_compression the only setting you have
changed from the php.ini? And which one did you use as base, php.ini-dist or php.ini-recommended ?
 [2003-01-29 00:23 UTC] rubberneck at wwisp dot com 
I used the php.ini-recommended. If you need i can post all of my php.ini settings or anything else you need.

Also some updates from testing a little more it seems to stop working per httpd process. Witch is where the working coming and going is coming from. Once that once process stops compressing it stops till you restart apache. I was able to find this by making a script that did getmypid() and sitting there realoading it checking the pid numbers. 

Also the best way i have found to reproduce this is to keep refreshing a script that has phpinfo(); in it on my servers after about 5-10 refreshes the compression starts going flaky.
 [2003-01-29 00:43 UTC] sniper@php.net 
Just add output of this command:

# diff -u php.ini-recommended /usr/local/lib/php.ini

That'll show us what the changes were.

And easier to reproduce this is propably by running apache
in foreground:

# /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl stop
# /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -X

Try that and let us know if you can get it fail then.

My ini file was quit differnt i belive it was from a older version so i copied over the new one and changed only the
zlib.output_compression setting below is the diff

Doing this it still fails only takes about 1 refresh and it's dead.

i had the same problem, but after the php.ini update, everything worked fine... tnx sniper...
 [2003-01-29 11:38 UTC] rubberneck at wwisp dot com 
tux witch ini file did you use the php.ini-dist or the php.ini-recommended?
 [2003-01-29 15:11 UTC] rubberneck at wwisp dot com 
I tried using both .ini files the php.ini-dist and the php.ini-recommended changing only the zlib.output_compression setting and still have the same issue.
 [2003-01-30 02:55 UTC] tux at devel dot ee 
i used php.ini-recommended.

and changed zlib ompression and some error directives.

my system:
rh 7.2
php 4.3.0
apache 1.2.37
zlib 1.1.4
 [2003-01-31 16:20 UTC] rubberneck at wwisp dot com 
Since i was running zlib 1.1.3 i updated it to 1.1.4 and it and i am still having the same issue.
 [2003-01-31 16:21 UTC] rubberneck at wwisp dot com 
As a test i downgraded to 4.2.3 and it does NOT have this issue.

Maybe related to bug #19436
 [2003-02-13 00:35 UTC] sniper@php.net 
FYI: I can not reproduce this with Apache 1.3.27 + PHP 4.3.1-dev. 

Try running this in GDB:

# gdb /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd
(gdb) run -X

And check what happens when it 'dies'. If there is no
crash, press ctrl+c and:

(gdb) bt
 [2003-02-13 17:31 UTC] rubberneck at wwisp dot com 
Using php4-STABLE-200302132030 This problem seems to be fixed.  If needed i can still load up 4.3.0 or php4-STABLE-200301282030 and give you the gdb output if you would like.
 [2003-02-13 19:16 UTC] sniper@php.net 
If it is fixed in latest stable snapshot -> closed.
