Backstory: Okay, today (as of writing) I was setting up a fresh install of Apache 2.2.9 and PHP 5.2.6 on my Windows Server 2003 box (installing *all* php extensions - I know, not good, but this was gonna be my mess-around server). Right after I'd finished setting up everything I went to test it with a quick phpinfo() script, and the moment my browser made the request Apache crashed and all I got was "Document has no data" in the browser.

So, puzzled, I checked the error.log file and found this line...

[notice] Parent: child process exited with status 3221225477 -- Restarting.

So I decided to try just a super basic echo "Hello" script...but same thing happened.

That just left me more puzzled than before. So I googled around for about half an hour, found maybe one or two forum threads that described basically the same problem I was having but none having found a solution. So I did a bit of fiddling with the php.ini and it seems I found a solution =]

Meaty bits (Solution):
First, a few of my system specs, and note that this is the *only* time I've had this problem, and therefore have only tested my solution on this system: Win Server 2003 (Enterprise) SP2, Intel P4 3.20ghz with HT, 2gig RAM, Apache 2.2.9 and PHP 5.2.6

So, if you've installed Apache 2 and PHP 5 and are seeing Apache crash every time a php script is requested, and you're seeing that error message that I put earlier in this post (read above) in the apache error logs, then have a look through your php.ini file for where all the php extensions are declared, and see if the PHP_THREADS extension is included. Look for this line:

extension=php_threads.dll

If you find that line, just comment it out (put a ; in front of it), save the file and then restart apache, and try loading a php script again. If it works and Apache's still running, problem solved! If not, sorry I couldn't help, but good luck =]

Hmm, I've just realised that this may be posted in the wrong area =\

Should I move it? If so, where should it go? Smile
