Apache error [notice] Parent: child process exited with status 3221225477 — Restarting

Question

I\'m using PHP5, CodeIgniter and Apache. The localhost php pages were loading fine and then suddenly they started crashing Apache.

The web pages seem to get to diff

Answer 1

I had this same problem. Copying dll's didn't fix it. So I looked around some more and found this thread with the answer that worked for me. Why does my XAMPP Apache service keep restarting?

In my Nvidia control panel I didn't see the FIrstPacket settings initially, so I uninstalled the Nvidia ForceWare Network Access Manager, then reinstalled it through the Nvidia drivers. After the restart the FirstPacket settings were visible and I made sure it was disabled, then everything worked.

Answer 2

I just had this problem for a while, apache restarted in every 5-15 minutes. My server serves a lot of sites and a portal with a big traffic, I programmed that portal and I just figured it out that the get_browser() function gives a memory error sometimes (depends on the agent). I refreshed the browscap.ini, no effect, the restarting still happens but as far as I removed to use this function, the apache didn't restart anymore. I use PHP 5.2.6 with Apache 2.0.5x I hope this helps for some other people too.

Answer 3

It is a problem with a problematic mix of mysql DLLs. See here for a solution: http://www.java-samples.com/showtutorial.php?tutorialid=1050

Copying dlls into system32 is not the best thing to do, so I suggest to install apache+php+mysql properly, rather than copy files into system32, because once the dlls are there - they will be loaded instead of newer version dlls, in a future update.

Answer 4

I had the problem - and after checking my folders, I realized I did not have the php5apache.dll in my php directory. So I tried copying it from the Win32 folder - and it has improved matters considerably (I won't hold my breath yet :))

Answer 5

So my php directory did not have libmysql.dll in it this seems to have resolved the problem.

I also added this to the win32 directory and the apache bin directory

Answer 6

This is an openssl_public_encrypt() function in my case.
