Symfony2 on Cygwin - PHP segmentation fault

I struggle to be able to run PHP client line interface on Cygwin. I receive constantly Segmentation fault error. But some of functions are correctly done - I cannot say when does it happen.

If somebody had this error, please give me any clue to correctly run PHP CLI under cygwin.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT

I Receive stackdump, but I don't know if it tells anything:

Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION at eip=603B7AC6

Moreover I tried to limit in php.ini

pcre.recursion_limit=1000
  • no effect.

It crashes every time when I work with client line interface. If I run it through Apache2 there is no problem.

How can I debug it effectively?

EDIT

I run it with php-cgi, where I receive the html output with error description:

ContextErrorException: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in ...

Having this information I guess that there is a problem with input arguments. If I run scripts without arguments from console I don't receive segmentation fault.

This is Symfony framework and those scripts run like a charm on windows and ubuntu on console. So I guess: - there is something wrong with PHP settings - there is something wrong with console on Cygwin

Any idea how can I debug it more?

Solution

  • After long hours of useless research I end up with removing php5 and php from Cygwin and mapping there standalone PHP for Windows.

    For anyone facing this problem:

    1. Uninstall all "PHP" group of extensions for cygwin
    2. Run cygwin
    3. rm -f /usr/bin/php.exe
    4. rm -rf /usr/share/php
    5. Download and install brand new PHP for Windows
    6. ln -s /cygdrive/c/your/path/to/php/php.exe /usr/bin/php.exe

    So I don't know why this issue occured to me, but fresh native php for windows installation helped.
