I am currently using Apache 1.3.27, PHP 4.3.2 and our server is
configured to force all users to use PHP as a script by calling
#!/usr/local/bin/php at the top of each script causing suexec to control
scripts. I noticed a really strange thing from one of our users. I have
tested the following and get error message about unable to fork
("/usr/local/bin/php") error.
I created a simple test.php file that contains:
#!/usr/local/bin/php
<?
passthru("/usr/local/bin/php -q somefile.php");
?>
The somefile.php contains:
<?
print "Hello World";
?>
However when I run test.php from within a browser I get the following as
the output:
Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.2
Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.2
Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.2

X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.2
Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.2
Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.2
<br />
<b>Warning</b>: passthru(): Unable to fork
[/home/u/utefans/public_html/ftml_templates/test.php] in
<b>/home/u/utefans/public_html/ftml_templates/test.php</b> on line <b>4</b><br />
Does anyone have any idea what is happening? It appears as if the PHP binary runs over
and over
until it finally freaks out and gives "unable to fork" error message. Any help
would greatly be appreciated.
