Access Violation

I've installed PHP 5.2.6 ISAPI on Windows XP with IIS 5.1.



It works - sort of. I get frequent 500 errors (IE) or "Access Violation"
errors (firefox). Often, I cannot open phpinfo.php even once after starting
the browser. Once I get the error, I can (very rarely) fix the problem by
running synciwam. Sometimes shutting down the browser and restarting it
works. More often, I can shut it down and restart several times to no
avail. Sometimes I give up and reboot (and it still might not work).
Sometimes (but very rarely) things will work fine for hours.



Basically, I see no pattern. I've seen references to bugs in php that might
cause this, but not for 5.2.6. Since success is so intermittent, I can't
really be sure if running synciwam is responsible for anything.



Does anyone have any idea how many poor souls are trying to run this
combination (5.2.6 + ISAPI + IIS 5.1)? (I got no responses to an earlier
plea; maybe no one is running this combination.)



Are there any clues in the hex address of the error? Is there a way to
determine whether this is a PHP problem, or an MS problem - or my setup
problem? I'm tending to think it is PHP, since I don't see how the usual
source of errors (file security) would be exercised differently when opening
the same site (phpinfo).



This is driving me nuts, and it's a very short trip. Does anyone have a
suggestion (other than chuck XP - I'm kinda stuck with that on my desk)?



Thanks in advance.

Re: Access Violation

forget the ISAPI, use FastCGI. In my experience the ISAPI has never been
stable or working fully.

mmm, not sure FastCGI is available for IIS for XP, so since it's probably
only a dev machine go to just php as cgi. that works fine on all OSes

Yes, you'll have much better luck with fastcgi - and yes the fastcgi
stuff works on IIS 5.1 which ships with XP (just use the IIS 6.0
installer for fastcgi from iis.net)

Have fun,

Re: Access Violation

FastCGI will work on XP with the installer designed for Windows Server
2003, although it's not offically supported.

RE: Access Violation

It is on a development machine, and performance is not an issue (well, it
sort of is an issue: php should .) So I guess I'll go to cgi.

As I recall, the MS site to download fastcgi states pretty clearly what it
is intended to run on, and IIS 5.1 is not there - even though the MS links
to that download say fastcgi is available for 5.1. Coward that I
am, I did not try it. So I appreciate the clarification that it does indeed
work with 5.1.

Many thanks. I look forward to this being fun again...

Herb
