Hi,

I wrote some software which post a binary (image) to our server.
After a reboot (due to resize HDD), the server has some post issues.
It hangs at the end of a http post without the content type header set.

I would like to know: is this a bug, configuration mistake, or miss interpertation of http post protocol...

Tank you!

Version apache:
[root@www ~]# /usr/sbin/httpd -V
Server version: Apache/2.2.3

This is a very old version with known security issues. You should upgrade.

On kill/error/fault I found in error_log:

Sat Jan 28 12:56:09 2012] [notice] child pid 17077 exit signal Segmentation fault (11), possible coredump in /tmp

So made a coredump: gdb: bt all:

Core was generated by `/usr/sbin/httpd -k start'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
#0 0x00007fe25c5696c0 in zend_hash_num_elements () from /etc/httpd/modules/libphp5.so

Pretty obvious that the problem is with PHP. My guess is that you updated some library on the system (maybe MySQL) and PHP is now first trying to use it.

You did not include which PHP version you are using. I suggest you check your php configuration.

As long as you are not using different configuration files for mod_php and php-cli, you should be able to run "php -i" to check that PHP is working properly.
