[PHP] PHP5+APACHE 2.2 + Windows 2003 production server

[Andrioli Darvin]

Hi all

PHP manual state We do not recommend using a threaded MPM in production
with Apache 2. Use the prefork MPM instead, or use Apache 1. For information
on why, read the related FAQ entry on using Apache2 with a threaded MPM (
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.apache2.php )
From apache.org the compiled exe you can download it seems compiled against
threaded MPM. Even the all-in-one packages like WAMPSERVER
(http://www.wampserver.com/en/) or XAMPP Light install PHP as Apache module
on threaded MPM Apache
So I'm wondering, is the manual outdated, or should I consider other
configuration to install on my production servers?

Thank you 
Darvin

[PHP] Multiple EXEC() hang Apache

[Andrioli Darvin]

Hi all

I'm upgrading PHP version from PHP 4 to 5.3.0 and Apache to 2.2.13, but I'm
facing a weird problem on the following statement:

$StringaParametri=exec('java -cp ..\\java rsa6230 ' . $Token);

It works on PHP 4 and PHP 5 CGI, but it hang Apache using MOD_PHP5. The
problem occurs when 2 or more requests are served at the same time. 
PHP 4 doesn't have the problem but it works as CGI. On PHP 5 we rule out CGI
because it is too slow. 
The problem seems to be related to exec/system/ functions family. Other
scripts using system(), running .NET program, hang in the same way.

Configuration:
Windows Server 2003
Apache 2.2.13
PHP 5.3.0 ( PHP 5.2.10 has the same problem too)

Any idea?

Thank you
Darvin
