Apache Error- holts script

[freddo99]

Can anyone help me with the following error message.

[Wed Sep 01 07:50:09 2004] [notice] Parent: child process exited with status 4294967295 -- Restarting.

I have a script running which gets halted each time this happens.

Any clues as to what causes the error and how it can be avoided much appreciated

4294967295 is the highest value that can be stored in a 32-bit integer. So I guess your script is running into some kind of limit.

Does the script contain a large loop? Maybe even an infinite loop?

Which script language / version? Which OS? Which Apache version?

Thanks for that Ron - yes there are a couple of loops one inside the other i=240, j=36 Each loop of j takes about 10 seconds and each loop of i about 6 minutes.

I am running a weather station and want the script to run for 24 hrs then the html page is refreshed and the script restarts.

Apache is running on XP so I can't use a cron job.

I recall certain versions of PHP having problems with long loops; that's why I asked about script language and version...

Maybe the Windows Task Scheduler can be useful instead of cron?

Hi again Ron
Script is PHP 5 and server is Apache 2 and OS is XP Pro
