 Bug Type:         Program Execution
 Operating System: Windows 2000 SP4
 PHP Version:      5.2.5
 New Comment:

this is still a bug. this is not an apache issue as I have tested
various versions ranging from 2.0.x to 2.2.x

I have tested php v5.2.6 and even a late development version.  This
happens on linux OS as well even with shell_exec()

would there be a backtrace on a hang?

it appears that the hang happens after a successful script executes,
the following time the script runs there is the hang.  usually lasts 2-5
minutes before it allows apache to run any php again.

note that apache will serve static/html files without issue while any
php files are not called.

even a restart of apache does not resolve.

I forgot the specifications, we use:

Windows XP  
Apache 2.2.8
PHP 5.2.6

Is that an apache or a php related problem ?

We have got the same problem here, exec hangs sometimes and causes the
page to not respond to anything. Only way is to restart apache. Is there
a solution available for this ?

Dear markus

In the first sight, I also understand that this happen only when
multiple request hit the script with exec(). But in reality there is no
guarantee that if the request goes one by one Hanging will not happen. I
had done a test at the time of writing this bug in which call the script
one by one but it randomly hanged up again after a period of time. At
that time period is long.

So dear PHP team , you have to really look up this matter.

Thanks
