Operating system: Linux 2.6.2 /Fedora Core 1,
PHP version: 4.3.4
PHP Bug Type: CGI related
Bug description: PHP Warning: system(): Unable to fork
Description:
------------
We started using a new program that spawns additional CLI php scripts
recently. And today, we started getting stuff like this:
PHP Warning: system(): Unable to fork [/usr/bin/php
/www/htdocs/onetime/spawn_domain.php 'businesslicensing.com' > /dev/null
&] in /www/htdocs/onetime/spawn_domain_parent.php on line 39
Now if I wait a few minutes, and restart the parent it will normally go on
about it's business. But then after a while it will all of a sudden no
longer be able to spawn new children.
All of the other bugs mentioned like this are based on Windows, but this
is a Linux box.
Reproduce code:
---------------
system("/usr/bin/php /www/htdocs/onetime/spawn_domain.php '$db[domain]'
> /dev/null &");
Expected result:
----------------
It should spawn a child CLI program and run.
Actual result:
--------------
It runs the code mentioned above.
