Dmitry, does the new code fix this problem..? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-01-26 01:55:15] chris at mysociety dot org That snapshot (a) doesn't fix the problem -- the FastCGI code is essentially unchanged since 4.x, though with a bunch of whitespace noise; and (b) wouldn't help us in any case since it's PHP5 and our applications are written for PHP4. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-01-25 23:51:05] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5.1-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.1-win32-latest.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-01-25 21:00:06] chris at mysociety dot org Description: ------------ When php is running as a FastCGI server, it should handle SIGTERM and execute a graceful shutdown, because the mod_fastcgi process manager uses this signal to shut down excess dynamic servers. "Graceful" in this context means that the server must finish handling any outstanding request and then terminate its connection to the web server. Presently, PHP does not handle SIGTERM at all in the FastCGI request loop, so that on receipt of SIGTERM, php aborts, even if half-way through a request. This typically results in the web server logging "Incomplete headers (0 bytes) received", and returning "500 Internal Server Error" to the client. I have prepared a patch for this issue, here: http://bitter.ukcod.org.uk/~chris/tmp/20060125/php-4.3.10-fastcgi-sigterm-fix.patch -- this is against 4.3.10, but it applies to 4.4.2 fine. Reproduce code: --------------- Put the following in a .php file: <? sleep(1); print "fish"; ?> and set it up to run under FastCGI. Set up a script to request the page in a loop ("while : ; do wget -O/dev/null -q http://path/to/script ; done") Then kill the PHP process (pkill php will do this under Linux). If you catch the script in the sleep, this will result in the client getting a 500 and the web server logging a message about php failing, as describe above. Expected result: ---------------- No errors. Actual result: -------------- 500 error. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36158&edit=1
