Re: [Swftools-common] pdf2swf conversion error using php
Hi Ricardo, It seems that you have found the problem. The tests I've done were on a Linux shared server (Linux Hosting). It is not possible to enable fastCGI. Moreover, the maximum memory allowed for a process is 32 Mo, and as you noticed with the files I sent, the conversion reach 40M/50M of memory. I will try more investigations with an other server where fasstCGI is enabled, but this cannot be done before a month. Thanks for your help, Regards, Franck Message du 17/09/09 à 15h44 De : Ricardo Pedroso rmdpedr...@gmail.com A : fruz...@voila.fr Copie à : swftools-common@nongnu.org Objet : Re: [Swftools-common] pdf2swf conversion error using php On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 2:38 PM, Ricardo Pedroso rmdpedr...@gmail.com wrote: On Sun, Sep 13, 2009 at 8:20 AM, franck ruzzin fruz...@voila.fr wrote: Hi Ricardo, Following the results for 2 problematic files, one with a return code of 1 and the other with a return code of 6, when executing the php script via http.

Both pdfs were successfully converted. My lighthttpd is configured to run php as fastcgi. It's seems that you have some limit configured somewhere, you have to find it. If with run php as mod_php, you could try to configure it to run as fastcgi. My best guess is that you are reaching a memory limit. Both pdf conversion reach 40M/50M of memory on my laptop. How do you run your apache/php? mod_php? You can try, as root: su - user_that_run_apache and then check the OS limits(memory, filesize,) for that user with: ulimit I found this thread that problably is related to your problem: http://marc.info/?t=12223344914r=1w=2 Ricardo Que sont devenues les stars de la télé réalité ?

It's is not easy to know what really is happening, at least for me. You may check your server logs, maybe they can give some hints. Depending you apache/php configuration (mod_php, fastcgi, suphp, ...) the process will run in a different environment/user. You can try to run pdf2swf with that user from shell. pdf2swf needs to write some tempfiles, could be some restriction/privileges to write tempfiles? But if you successfully convert some pdf's I suppose the problem is not here. I really don't know... You can send me the files, I can try exec them on lighttpd (I don't have apache installed) on my laptop Please, do a Reply all to keep the discussion in the mailing. Someone can jump into, and give you the answer. But If you want to send me the files then send them directly to me. Ricardo

Could this be a timeout issue??? How long the file takes to be converted when you execute from shell? If this is the problem you have two timeouts to take care of. One from php (30 seconds by default), and the other from the webserver. I have an other file with a return value of 1 Is this one correctly converted when executed from shell? Regards, Ricardo
