ID: 53149 User updated by: Jondor at GMX dot net Reported by: Jondor at GMX dot net Summary: cURL extension crashes Apache server on start-up -Status: Feedback +Status: Closed Type: Bug Package: cURL related Operating System: Windows 7 PHP Version: 5.3.3 Block user comment: N New Comment: I tried that already before submitting the original report. However, meanwhile I identified the cause of the problem. In my system's search path (%PATH% environment variable), the PHP directory was preceded by another directory which also included the libeay32.dll that the cURL extension depends on. Therefore it loaded that other version of libeay32.dll which apparently isn't compatible with this PHP build. Changing the search order fixed the problem.

Simply replace the php_curl.dll ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-10-26 17:37:13] Jondor at GMX dot net Tried to generate the backtrace using the Microsoft Debug Diagnostic Tools. Couldn't get it to work for the Apache2.2 service (instructions are for php.exe). I'm probably not savvy enough. Sorry. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-10-25 16:20:59] cataphr...@php.net Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we need a backtrace to see what is happening behind the scenes. To find out how to generate a backtrace, please read http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php for *NIX and http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace-win32.php for Win32 Once you have generated a backtrace, please submit it to this bug report and change the status back to "Open". Thank you for helping us make PHP better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-10-25 13:54:54] Jondor at GMX dot net Description: ------------ The Apache web server (version 2.2.17) on Windows 7 (32-bit) fails to start whenever the cURL extension is enabled in php.ini. Disabling cURL by commenting out the line "extension=php_curl.dll" fixes the problem. All other extensions work fine. In other words, installing the thread-safe PHP 5.3.3 for Apache on Windows (php-5.3.3-Win32-VC6-x86.msi from windows.php.net) with all default extensions crashed the web server on my system without any sensible error message. The culprit was the cURL extension. Expected result: ---------------- The PHP installer does not crash the web server, or at least exits with an error message (in php-errors.log). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53149&edit=1
