I previously had the earlier version 2.4.63 installed and experianced similar crashes, i though upgrading to the current version would help

Has anyone experiance similar problems ??

Does anyone have any suggestions as to areas to check / change ?

Thank you

[James Blond]

0xc0000005 is an access violation. Do you run PHP as module or over fcgid?

[steve0902]

PHP is running as a module

LoadModule php_module "C:/Program Files (x86)/php/php8apache2_4.dll"

Any suggestions woudl be appreciated

[James Blond]

There is a tutorial on how to switch to mod_fcgid

https://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=2394

If you still have a question or a problem, please ask again.

[steve0902]

I have installed mod_fcgrid and everything apears to be working as expected.

I have then tried to install the oci8_19 module with
extension=oci8_19 in the php.ini file

No errors are showing in the apache log file, however the module isnt showing in phpinfo() or php -m, i therefore isnt being loaded

Should it be possible to load oci18_19 extension, when using php with mod_fcgrid ??

(BTW - oci18_19 loaded and workd correctly when php was loaded as a module)

Any suggestions ??

Thank you

[steve0902]

Adding the Oracle directory, to the "FcgidInitialEnv PATH" seems to have resolved the problem

Hopefully this was the right fix ?

[James Blond]

Yepp, Good catch! The external DLLs / dependencies weren't found.
