ID: 44942 Comment by: mail at Gerhard-Bechtold dot com Reported by: inqualab1985 at gmail dot com Summary: exec() hangs apache Status: Duplicate Type: Bug Package: Program Execution Operating System: Windows 2000 SP4 PHP Version: 5.2.5 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thanks for follow-up. Where can I send it to? Regards Gerhard Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-09-27 06:57:05] paj...@php.net We need something to reproduce it, as we can't. Do you have a common exe app that we can use to try to reproduce the problem you are experiencing? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-09-24 08:28:46] mail at GerhardBechtold dot com Despite various updates and fixes, I dont think, the 'exec problem' in PHP is solved. In my PHP programs, I have plenty of calls from PHP 5.3.0 to external exe files with 'exec(...)' (on local drive, with Apache 2.2.12, installed through xampp 1.7.x, on Vista and Win 7) on dozens of computers: Everything works well. But when I migrated to new computer with PHP 5.4.4 (VC9, with Apache 2.4.2, installed through xampp 1.8, on Win 7/64), the SAME exec() calls dont work anymore. No display, no error messages, no entries in log file. Configuration in httpd.conf and php.ini are identical. Any advice is appreciated. I also posted in xampp forum (http://www.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=51537, with confirmation, that I am not the only one with this problem....). Kind regards Gerhard ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-06-04 05:09:12] hshs at hotmail dot com This bug still exist. Same work around still works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-10-23 19:26:33] kevin at texasbb dot com Happening to me on windows server 08 using IIS session_write_close(); doesnt seem to work for me. but i can use a page with iframes and eatch iframe can have a php with exec() and all work. i tested 10 different php iframes and could see all 10 processes open when page was loading. when adding just 2 exec() calls on same script or even trying to use different php files called from 1 will freeze the second process from exec just throwin this out there to help solve this so iframes can call any number it seems but more than 1 in same php script will hang on SECOND process(no need to reset server just kill the process and output from first will be there but second will not and page will finish loading). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-10-10 15:30:00] jameslively at insightbb dot com I am still seeing this issue on PHP 5.3.8. I am running the site on Windows 2k3 sp3 and Apache 2.2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
