We have Windows Server 2012 R2, Apache 2.2.31 and Php 5.6.18, Zend Server Version: 8.5.3

Apache seems to be hanging more and more frequently, a restart of apache seems to fix the problem most times. There are a quite a few php-cgi's open when we look at the the process viewer.

Windows event viewer shows multiple events like this,

18 JUL 2016 09:13:23
Faulting application name: php-cgi.exe, version: 5.6.18.0, time stamp: 0x56b9d4d2

What things can i do to debug this further so I can figure out what is going wrong?

A user reports a similar exception (0xc0000005) on stackoverflow which suggests that the problem is a memory access error, and the code accesses a nil pointer (or is blocked from access for protection reasons..);

Their remedy is to disable the EMET features on the binary exe. There is some information on disabling EMET features for specific applications here;

If you are not running EMET, or that does not fix your problem, there is also a newer version 8.5.5 of Zend server which might include a bugfix;

and newer versions of php since 5.6.18 (current 5.6.22); http://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/archives/

  • Thanks @Tom H, we don't run EMET on the server, but interesting read anyway. We are aware of the new version of zend server, and we have it running on our staging server at the moment, and will upgrade in due course. This server has been running 6 months now and has only started getting these issues in the last month or so, so i am not sure how likely it is related to the zend version.
