Blank page after 1.3 upgrade - zend_mm_heap corrupted

Support & Bugs
1

I receive the following error after upgrading Piwik to 1.3 version on my apache error.log:


(...)
zend_mm_heap corrupted
[Mon Apr 18 23:38:02 2011] [error] child died with signal 11

And… blank page on browser :frowning:
Plase, help!

phpinfo(): http://78.129.251.106/phpinfo.php

cache cleaned, server rebooted, etc. and no luck

Should I roll back to 1.2.1? How?

please update your PHP, disable APC, this is not a piwik bug

I think I do not have APC, I don’t see at phpinfo. ¿?

If it’s not a Piwik bug, only affects piwik…

I think I have latest version:

root@vps-283:/# apt-get upgrade php php-*

Can you try again without your auto_append_file and auto_prepend_file scripts?

5

Solved by removing that (in fact, I moved piwik to a subdomain) :S

That files only gzipped the html response, why the zend_mm_heap corrupted?

6

Looks like you found a PHP bug. Unfortunately, it’s hard to diagnose when using mod_php. And the PHP devs tend to mark these types of crashes as bogus when Suhosin is involved and bug fixes are backported to an older php version.

7

Anthon would it be possible to detect this setting and throw a warning during install?

8

If it crashes php, the detection will never be displayed to the user.

We already have checks in servestaticfile to disable compression if either of the above settings are non-empty.

I am curious to see the code for those scripts though.

This is the code:

It executes in .php, .css and .js, for gzip, and caching and minifing css and js

Gzip_start:


<?
$charset="; charset=utf-8";

$pathinfo = pathinfo($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
$extension = $pathinfo["extension"];
$cache=false;
//ini_set('zlib.output_compression_level', 8);
ob_start("ob_gzhandler");
if($extension=="css") { header("Content-type: text/css$charset"); $cache=true; }
else if($extension=="js") { header("Content-type: text/javascript$charset"); $cache=true; }
else header("Content-type: text/html$charset");

if($cache) {

if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_IF_MODIFIED_SINCE']) && @strtotime($_SERVER['HTTP_IF_MODIFIED_SINCE'])>=@filemtime($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
    Header("HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified");
    exit;
}

$minify=(strpos($pathinfo["basename"],'.min.')===false);

header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate");
$offset=6*60*60; //6-1 hour
$ExpStr="Expires: ".gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s",time()+$offset)." GMT";
header($ExpStr);
ob_start();
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/libs/".$extension."min.php");
}
?>

Gzip_end:


<?php
if($cache && $minify) {
	if($extension=="js") {
		$javascriptCode=ob_get_contents();
		ob_end_clean();
		echo JSMin::minify($javascriptCode);
	}
	else if($extension=="css") {
		$cssCode=ob_get_contents();
		ob_end_clean();
		echo cssmin::minify($cssCode);
	}
}
else ob_end_flush();

?>

I’m guessing the blank page is because it doesn’t set the Content-Encoding header but always calls:


ob_start("ob_gzhandler");

Also, since the PHP default is text/html, and the script being wrapped may set its own content type, I would probably omit this line:


else header("Content-type: text/html$charset");

I had to comment out the eaccelerator.so in my php.ini to get it working. Solaris 10 php-5.3.2
