ID: 53140 Comment by: xandra_18ro at yahoo dot com Reported by: jeyb88 at gmail dot com Summary: PHP-CGI (FastCGI IIS) crashes when creating DOTNET instance every second time Status: Open Type: Bug Package: COM related Operating System: XP, Vista, Win 7,Win Server 2008 PHP Version: 5.3.3 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Is there a hotfix for this problem? Or a workaround perhaps. thanks! Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-03-26 16:18:30] andrew dot king at simail dot co dot uk I can confirm that this problem also exists on PHP 5.3.2 on Windows Server 2003 32-bit with IIS running FastCGI. Problem also occurs on WAMP server, Windows 7 64-bit running PHP 5.3.8, Apache 2.2.21 with PHP loaded as a module, not CGI. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-24 17:02:08] johnphayes at gmail dot com Here is the Application Event log entry in Windows Server 2003 when this crash occurs in my test case above: Source: .NET Runtime 2.0 Error Description: Faulting application httpd.exe, version 2.2.19.0, stamp 4dd6eda8, faulting module php5ts.dll, version 5.2.17.17, stamp 4d25fb49, debug? 0, fault address 0x000ea66d. This source is a little odd, because I have .NET 4.0 Runtime installed. Note that although I have PHP 5.2.17 installed at the moment, I have experienced this with 5.3 as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-24 16:23:21] johnphayes at gmail dot com Can this bug's summary be edited to remove "(FastCGI IIS)?" My comment above shows that it can be reproduced under Apache as an Apache handler as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-24 16:18:58] johnphayes at gmail dot com This error only appears to happen when the offending code is run from a web server. If I run the offending code directly from the CLI, php never crashes. If I run the same code through Apache (via a cURL request), Apache crashes every other time. My configuration is: * Windows Server 2003 R2 * Apache 2.2 * PHP 5.3 configured as an Apache handler, not under FastCGI (see http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.apache2.php) * The following 2 files: ---------- <?php // testCrash.php - file #1 $stack = new DOTNET("mscorlib", "System.Collections.Stack"); echo "success"; ?> ---------- <?php // testCrashClient.php - file #2 $endPoint = 'http://localhost/testCrash.php'; $client = curl_init(); curl_setopt_array($client, array( CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT => TRUE, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => TRUE, CURLOPT_URL => $endPoint )); $response = curl_exec($client); curl_close($client); var_dump($response); echo 'done'; ?> ---------- Use case #1 - run locally, we get no crash: Steps: 1. Open command prompt 2. Execute: php.exe testCrash.php 3. Observe that we get the expected resulting output: success 4. Repeat step 2. Expected result will always be obtained. Use case #2 - run through the web server, we get the crash: Steps: 1. Open command prompt 2. Execute: php.exe testCrashClient.php 3. Observe that we get the expected resulting output: string(7) "success" done 4. Repeat step 2. 5. Now observe that we get an error: bool(false) done 6. Repeat step 2. 7. Expected successful output is obtained again. Repeating step 2 will cause the crash every other time. When the crash occurs, apache's error log gets: ---------- [Wed Aug 24 12:13:25 2011] [notice] Parent: child process exited with status 0 - - Restarting.

But if you are using fastcgi, then jeyb88 is absolutely correct: this will crash every other time the code is run. My repro is even simpler than jeyb88's. I don't even have to call any methods on the .net object. I have a 1 line php file that calls the "new" against my .net class: <?php $class1 = new DOTNET("moo, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=14ba337483520f7a", "moo.Impersonation"); ?> The constructor for my .net class is empty: [ComVisible(true), ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None), Guid("53C74B01-EC09-45a4-A741-42727858B2A1")] public class Impersonation { public Impersonation() { } // more code follows When I first browse to the page, it (correctly) shows nothing. Then I hit refresh, and I get the "FastCGI process exited unexpectedly" 0xc0000005. If I hit refresh again, the page again (correctly) shows nothing, next time, fastcgi AVs again. I am using php 5.3.3, Windows Server 2003, and I have tried both .Net 2.0 and .Net 3.5. The pattern here is easily reproducible, causes an unrecoverable access violation, and there is no workaround. A fix here would be greatly appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
