Hi, there... I had seen that error message in my PC (with windows 2000 Server + php4.2.3 + Oracle9i) if you are using PHP on IIS(, I recommend that you should check "session.save_path = c:/temp" in your php.ini. (this file normally located in c:\winnt directory) some developers discussed this problem being related with "session.save_path" property... Please, check these article in... http://www.php.net/manual/sk/printwn/function.session-save-path.php If it can't fix your problem... sorry for bothering you... Good luck.

Has anyone else had problems with the error "PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 098029AE" ... It's talked about at: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=15333 The most frustrating thing is our ISP went above the call of duty to install PHP for me, and now his response is... well read for yourselves: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I read through all the stuff at php.net. The long and short of it is this: Nobody really knows what is causing the problem. It appears to be a problem with a dual-processor machine (which is what you're using) It is believed that 4.2.3 solves the problem (that is the latest version and the version we are using) Setting the security model to "low" on the site helps in many cases (doesn't eliminate the problem, just reduces how often it occurs) Ergo, this has been my problem with "public domain" scripting languages such as PHP. There is not a single source that can be held accountable for ensuring a problem is solved. It is the reason that we have standardized on CF, because when it's bad, Macromedia HAS to fix it. All that being said, and consistent with our terms of installation, I will take some time to see if I can "trim up" the configuration and improve the situation. However, because this problem crashes the server completely, if we can't find a resolution soon, I will opt to remove it from the system. One of our key responsibilities is system stability and reliability. Again, I'll see if I can modify the config to alleviate this, however, the php resource was very little help. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I'm pretty disappointed that this hasn't been fixed yet. Has anyone had any luck fixing it? Thanks! <>< Ryan -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
