Hello,

I noticed this error in my apache error_log file:

[Sat Sep 27 00:49:31.327342 2014] [core:notice] [pid 3307] AH00052: child pid 1924 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

Repeating 5 times per minute.

Phpvibe is the only PHP application running on the server.

I have this notice both in my old and new server (Centos 7) running:

PHP 5.4.16 (cli) (built: Aug  6 2014 13:12:28)
Copyright (c) 1997-2013 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2013 Zend Technologies
    with the ionCube PHP Loader v4.6.1, Copyright (c) 2002-2014, by ionCube Ltd.

Server version: Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS)
Server built:   Jul 23 2014 14:48:00

I tried to play with the memory limit of php.ini without any luck.

Does somebody have the same problem as me?

it seems to be related to ioncube but the version I'm using is the correct one for my php version

zend_extension=/usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.4.so
zend_extension_ts=/usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.4_ts.so

Hello Mario, so you don't have any previous occurrence of this issue?

The stackoverflow thread is the same I was following trying to pin down the problem. I'll see if I can get some more info

Hello Mario, so you don't have any previous occurrence of this issue?

Hi, not to us or clients, first time I see this. May be cause of some setup issue in the server?

I think I'm on the right way:

https://plus.google.com/+ArtemRussakovskii/posts/2jtx4HBFz1d

"Apache 2.4.6 with PHP 5.4 actually Seg Faults (crashes) on our production machines when there's empty space behind the closing php tag. I just wasted hours until I finally narrowed down the bug with strace."

I think somewhere there is an empty space, that most probably I left beyond when I was modifying the code.

Ok so I'm 90% sure the page that crash is the 404.php. Checking the logs, when a new 404 page url is created for the first time the related apache PID segfault. Following reloads have no effects due to, I guess, the cache.

Could you please let me know if you see something strange in the following code?

Code Select Expand

<?php  the_header();
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
the_sidebar();
?>
<div class="error-info main-holder pad-holder span8 nomargin top10">
<h3><?php echo _lang("404"); ?></h3>
<h4><?php echo _lang("oops! page not found"); ?></h4>
<a class="button-center" href="<?php echo site_url(); ?>"><?php echo _lang("Back to home"); ?></a>
</div>
<?php  the_footer(); ?>

Is there an empty space after the last ?> (following that post)


you know you can test with an empty one, just to see if the fault is there
