Re: [Php-java-bridge-users] CGI / FastCGI has encountered a problem and needs to close

Hi,

> No, I used the Installer version.  But still no joy.

yes, if I install using the PHP installer and select "everything" and then type c:\Program Files\PHP\php-cgi -i in the cmd window, PHP crashes. I don't know which of the zillion php extensions causes this failure.

Please remove the broken c:\Program Files\PHP\php-cgi.exe and restart tomcat. Or set the prefer_system_php_exec to false in the WEB-INF/web.xml. The bridge will then use the php-cgi.exe which is contained in the .war archive. 

Btw: the error "XXX has encountered a problem" is a generic error message from windows. It is similar to a segfault on Unix. You can find the reason for the failure in the core dump or in the details tab of your debugger. 

Use the following simple PHP code to create such an error message:

<?php 
function f() {g();}
funcgion g() {f();}
g();
?>


But still, please report these problems to the PHP maintainers, not to us, please.
