I'm running MediaWiki 1.9.3 on a dual core Windows 2003 server, 2 GB RAM, with Apache 2.2.4 and PHP 5.2.1. (Actually it's a VMware virtual machine.) A few times each day we get this error in the Windows error log:
Faulting application httpd.exe, version 2.2.4.0, faulting module php5ts.dll, version 5.2.1.1, fault address 0x0000ae66
and Apache complains:
[Thu Mar 22 13:21:31 2007] [notice] Parent: child process exited with status 3221226324 -- Restarting. [Thu Mar 22 13:21:32 2007] [notice] Apache/2.2.4 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.4 OpenSSL/0.9.8d PHP/5.2.1 configured -- resuming normal operations [Thu Mar 22 13:21:32 2007] [notice] Server built: Jan 6 2007 15:20:29 [Thu Mar 22 13:21:32 2007] [notice] Parent: Created child process 3456 PHP Warning: Module 'ldap' already loaded in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: Module 'mysql' already loaded in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: Module 'mysqli' already loaded in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: Module 'PDO' already loaded in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: Module 'pdo_mysql' already loaded in Unknown on line 0 [Thu Mar 22 13:21:32 2007] [notice] Child 3456: Child process is running [Thu Mar 22 13:21:32 2007] [notice] Child 3456: Acquired the start mutex.

and the user gets a browser error page.
I Googled for this and it's a common problem:
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41326 http://www.apachelounge.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6502 http://www.apachelounge.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4785 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=39603
but nobody seems to have a workable solution. I have tried:
- increasing the PHP memory_limit in php.ini, but that didn't help. - Setting Win32DisableAcceptEx as in http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/#xpbug, in case that was the problem, but that just crashed the server
Any ideas?
