Apache constantly crashes with 3221225477

[JamesW]

Have tried both Zend and ioncube loader but Apache crashes on every other page (and so the browser tries to open the file rather than serve it).

The Apache error log is full of these errors:

"Parent: child process exited with status 3221225477 -- Restarting."

This is, generally speaking, a very stable WAMP set up and all non-encoded pages are working fine.

Also ioncube-loader-helper.php reports that everything is fine.

BTW I ran the install via FTP and locally (i.e. directly on the server itself).

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I actually develop and test on a WAMP install with Zend Optimizer and have never ran into any issues like this.

I searched Google for that number and saw this:

Maybe it will help?

Actually, from that resolution, I would instead recommend that you add the path of where that file is to your PATH variable... instead of copying the specific file.

This is a twofold recommendation, as 1) there might be other files in that folder that will be required; and 2) you don't want to run a different version from two different spots.

In your WAMP install guide, there might be a manual step for setting up the PATH environment, or there might have been an automatic step that failed...

Thanks for this.

Unfortunately, it is still crashing. I think it must be another .dll that is maybe corrupt and/or incompatible.

I am running PHP 5.2.9 and Apache to 2.2.11 so I am going to upgrade to the latest stable versions (I assume that for PHP that would be 5.2.11 as 5.3. does not have an ioncube dll yet?)

I am out of the office for a couple of days now. Will let you know how I get on!

It's working!

I am installing it on an internal server but it is designated as "live" and should not have any debuggers installed but a couple of months ago we installed the NuSphere debugger to try to locate a weird bug and we had forgotten to remove it. Doh!

Thanks again.

Ioncube likes to be loaded first in the chain of commands...take it from someone who does server setup. This is old I know, but it might help someone...

Make sure Ioncube is set to load BEFORE zend optimizer...
