I can not reproduce this, maybe you could start httpd with

valgrind httpd -X  

then try to trigger the error, and see what is outputted by valgrind.


thanks

"Periodically" means about in 1 case from 100 000 requests.
I can't run it with valgrind because this is a production server.

But isn't local vars output help you to find the problem?

(gdb) p chunk
$69 = (zend_mm_chunk *) 0x800000

Address 0x800000 isn't valid for chunk and access to it gives us segfault.

But it calculates right from
(gdb) p (char*) ((zend_string*)ptr)->val
$68 = 0x8dcd98 "doc_root"

0x8dcd98 "doc_root" is fully valid allocated address.

#define ZEND_MM_ALIGNED_BASE(size, alignment) \
	(((size_t)(size)) & ~((alignment) - 1))

zend_mm_chunk *chunk = (zend_mm_chunk*)ZEND_MM_ALIGNED_BASE(ptr, ZEND_MM_CHUNK_SIZE);

0x8dcd98 & ~(0x200000 - 1) = 0x800000

This may be related to https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74770

How sure are you that the crash is a result from 'php_admin_value doc_root'? In my case, the crash is from 'php_admin_value open_basedir' which you also set. I had to run Apache bench to trigger the crash since it too is periodic.
 [2017-09-05 03:11 UTC] jerry at jmweb dot net 
I have been running my install with "php_admin_value open_basedir" removed and I am still seeing these crashes. So, perhaps it is a result from setting Document Root on VirtualHosts. The difference between my setup and nikolay's is that I set Document Root directly through Apache's DocumentRoot directive - I do not use php_admin_value doc_root for that.

This is a production server and I really need a fix for this. What information can I provide to help a developer troubleshoot this?

Nikolay, are you still seeing these crashes?

Is this still an issue with any of the actively supported PHP
versions[1]?
