Oh yeah, this is what I did to stabilize the server: -take out zend_optimizer from php.ini -put process isolation level to HIGH (as Michael suggested) -put IIS in the ISAPI filter list -disable chaching of isapi applications colin Colin McDonald wrote: Richard Lynch wrote: You *MIGHT* try installing the Optimizer on a Dev box and turning on *ONE* opitmization group/feature at a time and then pounding on that Dev server with 'ab' until you narrow down which optimizations are the trouble-makers.

[PHP] Re: Stack Overflow with: zend optimizer
Hi there, zend optimizer 1.3.1 / IIS 5 / PHP 4.2.1 / Windows 2000 I've been getting Stack Overflow errors frequently. Our software has hundreds of db queries and hundreds of includes per page execution. Just to give you some context, so I can't tell you exactly what I'm doing that's causing this. I recently disabled the zend optimizer from the server and since then I haven't run it again. Could it be that it the Zend Optimizer that's causing this problem? Anything is possible... The Optimizer *does* have to examine the source code and do things with it. I would guess that there are some analyses that might be recursive and could overflow the stack... You *MIGHT* try installing the Optimizer on a Dev box and turning on *ONE* opitmization group/feature at a time and then pounding on that Dev server with 'ab' until you narrow down which optimizations are the trouble-makers. Why in the *WORLD* do you have hundreds of includes, though? You do realize that including a hundred include files is incredibly slow, right?... You may be able to drastically improve performance if there's any way to combine those files... To test this: Make a list of a sample of a 100 files that get included in one page hit. Then cat all those files into 1 big file. Strip out all the 'include' calls. A/B compare the real page and the big fat page under stress. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
