Topic: Apache 2.4.4 + PHP 5.4.15 = unresponsive php-pages? :-(

[xAddict3Dx]

Hello Apache Lounge addicts, how are you people doing

Everything's fine with me, except with getting Apache 2.4.4 + PHP 5.4.15 to work (using x86/32-bit)

I've been setting up webservers, databases and Content Management Systems for for a long time but this was in the Apache < 2.0/2.2 era.

After years of absence i wanted to pick it (back) up again, but for some reason the php-part of the website refuses to load after loading successfully once.

I did everything according to the installation steps/instructions mentioned here but as soon as i access my Imagevue gallery for a second time (sometimes it seems to work but then i see the 'busy/waiting' animation and it fails to load again).

I've tried all VC's and made sure the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package was up to date, but it didn't matter which builds i use (9, 10 or 11), the problem persists.

My Apache config is almost identical to the default one, except for the location of the files and the required entries to make it work with PHP.

The same goes for php.ini: used the 'production' example as reference and changed the location to the extensions and timezone-settings.

There are NO leftover ini's configs found of previous Apache/PHP installations so nothing should be in the way.

The system i'm working on: Windows 7 x64 Ultimate incl. SP1 + hotfixes.

I haven't yet tested MySQL with the webserver yet because i first want to solve the PHP loading-issues.


If there's anything else you would like to know, just ask!

Thank you in advance,
- Christiaan

Anything in the Apache error.log ?

Be sure you have in httpd.conf set:

AcceptFilter http none
AcceptFilter https none
EnableSendfile off
EnableMMAP off

Yes those are also in place (forgot to mention, was still editing my post):

Because the error Asynchronous AcceptEx failed, are you Really sure you have :

AcceptFilter hhtp none
AcceptFilter https none

and stop/start Apache ?

If yes try uninstall (not disable) any virus scanner.

[xAddict3Dx]

I already stated and quoted the part of my httpd.conf where AcceptFilter was disabled:

Also see http://i.imgur.com/bK5YMld.jpg

I've restarted and un/(re)installed Apache + PHP dozens of times but uninstalling my Antivirus for it seems a bit awkward (i know some AV's can cause trouble but uninstalling them instead of disabling them goes a bit far for my taste).

I'm using ESET NOD32 Antivirus 6 and haven't noticed any warning or entries in the log (i therefore doubt it has anything to do with the issues i'm experiencing).

I did some more post reading and wondered if the compiled SSL 1.0.1e libray could have anything to do with it, since:


Note: When using PHPs binaries from windows.php.net with OpenSSL it is advised
to use the build with OpenSSL 0.9.8. Mixing versions may cause crashes, see info.

edit: No, that only occurs when using SSL, which i'm not

See about virus scanners and the error winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed :

http://apache.proserve.nl//httpd/binaries/win32/ Under the heading Problems Installing or Running Apache 2 it is noted there for 2.2 but still valid for 2.4.

[Millennium]

NOD32 is a known Cause for network troubles in Apache.

(see also my problems: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34716)

Somehow, downgrading to Apache 2.2.24 solved the issues i was having, without the need to exclude Apache in ESET or adding/disabling certain directives in httpd.conf =)
