[PHP-DEV] Bug #11062 Updated: Sharing Violation Error Message
ID: 11062
Updated by: phildriscoll
Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Status: Open
Bug Type: Directory function related
Operating system:
PHP Version: 4.0.5
Assigned To:
Comments:
Is there any chance that while testing this you have also caused IIS to serve any of
the files in the directories up? There is an unpleasant problem with IIS whereby it
holds files open for some time after serving them. This normally manifests itself by
stopping you editing and saving out a html file you have just looked at via the web
server, however it would also stop you renaming any parent directory of the file.

Yes it does. :( Does the folder need to have special permissions? Right now I've
got SYSTEM and CREATOR_OWNER with full controll, and a bunch of groups.

Does this happen with PHP 4.0.6 ?

[2001-06-04 01:27:47] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
In order to regain control over the directories, it is necessary to restart the entire
"IIS Admin Service". Restarting the "World Wide Web Publishing Service" alone does
not fix the problem.

Hello, I've written a simple script which can recurse into subdirectories when needed,
and print out an HTML table with with details about the files it finds. The problem
is that after I run this script, if I try and rename one of the folders it has
recursed into, I get an error message which reads:
"Cannot rename [folder name]: There has been a sharing violation. The source or
destination file may be in use."
Note that I can still rename files, just not folders. If I stop and start IIS, I am
able to rename folders until I run the script again. I believe I'm using the
closedir() function correctly, and have even echoed out when the directories are
opened and closed to make sure I'm not messing up. One last thing to note is that
this script is being run on an NTFS partition. A copy of the script follows:
http://www.foo.com"; . str_replace("/inetpub/www_root", "", $hddir);
$handle = opendir($hddir);
chdir($hddir);
// if there are files in the directory, print out the table header and set the
flag
// once we find a file, don't run the test (and print out the table header)
again
while (($file = readdir($handle)) && ($file_count < 1)) {
if ($file == '.' || $file== '..')
continue;
else if (is_file($file)) {
echo "";
echo "Filename";
echo "Size";
echo "Modified";
$file_count += 1;
}
}
rewinddir ($handle);// start reading again
from the beginning of the directory
while ($file = readdir($handle)) { // while we can read an entry
from the directory (files and dirs)
if ($file == '.' || $file== '..')
continue;
else if (($mode == "recurse") && (is_dir($file)) && (substr("$file",
0, 1) != "_")) { // don't recurse directories which begin with an underscore
$dir_count += 1;
$places_to_go[$dir_count] = "$file";
}

[PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #10125 Updated: installation fails - php doesn't run
ID: 10125
Updated by: phildriscoll
Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Status: Closed
Bug Type: IIS related
Assigned To:
Comments:
The error is (surprise surprise) that MSCOMCTL.OCX which should be registered on your
system, isn't.
The installer program (and many many others) use this DLL to provide widgets like
progress bars.
It may be that the file exists on your system but is just not correctly registered.
(The following is true for NT4 - things may be different on W2K)
There should be a file called REGSVR32.EXE on your WinNT\System32 directory and also a
file called MSCOMCTL.OCX in the same directory.
If not, you will have to get them, maybe from your NT CD or perhaps by downloading
them from somewhere on the Microsoft site.
Once the files are there, from the command line type:
REGSVR32 MSCOMCTL.OCX
The installer should then work.
A VB wizard somewhere in the world is modifying the installer to do this automatically
so that the small percentage of users this affects will avoid the inconvenience.

Please contact phill driscoll, [EMAIL PROTECTED], directly. THis error is normally
caused by mscomctl.ocx not being registered properly. Your second error is somthing
unrelated to PHP but looks like some problem with northwind examples or somthing like

ID: 10165 Updated by: phildriscoll Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old-Status: Open Status: Feedback Bug Type: Documentation problem Assigned To: Comments: It would be good to get to the bottom of this. If anyone out there understands what Windows does in these circumstances, can they shed some light on proceedings. I don't have any of the databases that need extensions, so the only extension I routinely use is GD, however it is my experience on NT4 that I never have to stick any dll (php or otherwise) in winnt or winnt/system32 unless it is going to be shared by some other application. I can always just put them in the same directory as the program that calls them and all is well. Is W2K different, or are the database extension dlls different.

As of php 4.1.0, the widows installer has an uninstall facility. Previous Comments: [2001-10-02 04:49:10] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Will investigate for the next release of the installer. [2001-08-12 15:27:57] [EMAIL PROTECTED] User Response: Because I wasn't able to comment on an existing bug [ #12363 ], I'll open a new bug with my comments to [ #11952 ], since I believe the reporter was right. I agree it isn't hard to uninstall PHP from a Windows PC (it doesn't change anything in the registry or so) - if you know what files to delete. Most Windows users like easy-to-use installers, so the .exe was a great idea. However, if you use the .exe, you don't know which files are added, so uninstalling them is hard to do. If there would be an uninstallation utility (like most Windows programs have), people that used the installer because they don't want to know about the technical stuff of PHP, don't have to do so when the remove it. Plus, and this is more personally, I prefer programs that come with an uninstaller, because if I want to get rid of it, I know all traces of it are removed with a single click (I know the "all traces" thing isn't completely correct, but that's another issue). And I think other users also think so. Maybe one of your arguments would be "if they don't know how to (un)install from an archive, they shouldn't run a web server with PHP on it". Correct. If that would be a live web server, and not like I use it, as a simulation to build (and test) my site locally (with Apache, MySQL and PHP all running from Windows 98), and then to upload it to a real server, that is maintained by people who know what they are doing (at least, that's what I pay them for). So my suggestion is to look for someone who knows how to do it, and add this feature to the Windows installer. [2001-07-22 15:05:55] [EMAIL PROTECTED] reclassified [2001-06-10 23:33:38] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Windows installer does not create an uninstall entry. Since it places several files (you don't know about) in Windows directorys it is not easy to uninstall by hand. If the installer increases the reference counters for the dlls in the registry (and it should do so) it is nearly impossible to uninstll by hand. Please, don't say: Who want's to uninstall this great software? There must be a chance to test it without corrupting the system.

[PHP-DEV] Bug #12061 Updated: CGI Error
ID: 12061 Updated by: phildriscoll Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old Status: Status: Bogus Bug Type: IIS related Operating System: Win 2K PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: Ok - you don't seem to want to read install.txt, so here's the relevant bit - please read and act on it: You have installed PHP, but when try to access a php script file via your browser, you get the error: cgi error: The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are: This error message means that php failed to output anything at all. From the command line hange to the directory containing php.exe. Run php.exe -i If php has any problems running, then a suitable error message will be displayed which will give you a clue as to what needs to be done next. If you get a screen full of html codes (the output of the phpinfo() function) then php is working ok. Once php is working at the command line, try accessing the php script via the browser again. If it still fails then it could be one of the following: file permissions on your php script, php.exe, php4ts.dll, php.ini or any php extensions you are trying to load are such that the anonymous internet user ISUR_ cannot access them. The script file does not exist (or possibly isn't where you think it is relative to your web root directory). Note that for IIS you can trap this error by ticking the 'check file exists' box when setting up the script mappings in the Internet Services Manager. If a script file does not exist then the server will return a 404 error instead. There is also the additional benefit that IIS will do any authentication required for you based on the NTLanMan permissions on your script file.

[PHP-DEV] Bug #12764 Updated: php4isapi.dll module clashes with exchange server
ID: 12764 Updated by: phildriscoll Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old Status: Open Status: Duplicate Bug Type: IIS related Operating System: WIN2000 5.00.2195 service pac 2 PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: As it says in the PHP installation notes, the ISAPI module is not stable. When it goes wrong it can bring down the whole of IIS. Your best bet is to either use the cgi version which is rock solid, though with a slight performance penalty, or if you can, switch from IIS to Apache and run the Apache Module. Previous Comments: [2001-08-15 07:52:08] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Runing an IIS server, it seams like the php4isapi.dll module interfears with the Exchange server on the same machine. PHP also seams to encounter several acces-violations randomly during runtime. The errorlogg on the machine shows (from startup): "A fatal error occurred while creating an SSL server credential" The errorlogg on the machine shows (during IIS failiure): "The HTTP server encountered an unhandled exception while processing the ISAPI Application ' php4ts!hashpjw + 0x13 + 0xA05E5983 '." We are possitive that it's the module causing the problem since when the IIS runs the CGI version everything works perfectly (except from the "header" function, wich we require). The module is not installed as a filter, only as an ISAPI application. would be thankfull for anny help!

[PHP-DEV] Bug #11391 Updated: No uninstaller
ID: 11391 Updated by: phildriscoll Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old Status: Open Status: Assigned Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Win 98 PHP Version: 4.0.5 Old Assigned To: Assigned To: PhilDriscoll New Comment: Will investigate for the next release of the installer. Previous Comments: [2001-08-12 15:27:57] [EMAIL PROTECTED] User Response: Because I wasn't able to comment on an existing bug [ #12363 ], I'll open a new bug with my comments to [ #11952 ], since I believe the reporter was right. I agree it isn't hard to uninstall PHP from a Windows PC (it doesn't change anything in the registry or so) - if you know what files to delete. Most Windows users like easy-to-use installers, so the .exe was a great idea. However, if you use the .exe, you don't know which files are added, so uninstalling them is hard to do. If there would be an uninstallation utility (like most Windows programs have), people that used the installer because they don't want to know about the technical stuff of PHP, don't have to do so when the remove it. Plus, and this is more personally, I prefer programs that come with an uninstaller, because if I want to get rid of it, I know all traces of it are removed with a single click (I know the "all traces" thing isn't completely correct, but that's another issue). And I think other users also think so. Maybe one of your arguments would be "if they don't know how to (un)install from an archive, they shouldn't run a web server with PHP on it". Correct. If that would be a live web server, and not like I use it, as a simulation to build (and test) my site locally (with Apache, MySQL and PHP all running from Windows 98), and then to upload it to a real server, that is maintained by people who know what they are doing (at least, that's what I pay them for). So my suggestion is to look for someone who knows how to do it, and add this feature to the Windows installer. [2001-07-22 15:05:55] [EMAIL PROTECTED] reclassified [2001-06-10 23:33:38] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Windows installer does not create an uninstall entry. Since it places several files (you don't know about) in Windows directorys it is not easy to uninstall by hand. If the installer increases the reference counters for the dlls in the registry (and it should do so) it is nearly impossible to uninstll by hand. Please, don't say: Who want's to uninstall this great software? There must be a chance to test it without corrupting the system.
