I am running Apache 1.3.29 on Windows Server 2k3 Standard edition with PHP 4.3.4 as a module.
I have a script that writes a text file, and then resets a service so that the new text is read into the memory of the program associated with the service.
I have the script calling
$output=`sc stop myservice`
sleep(5);
$output=`sc start myservice`
and then the script outputs a list of changes made...and a link back to the main script that edits the text file.
The problem I am having is that some clients seem to have a problem with using the script. The will initiate the script that calls the service stop and then start.....but the service will stop...remain in a stopped state, and must be manually restarted from the console.
I also notice that when this starts occuring, I cannot reset the apache service, and they seem to have problems with php pages not displaying on the server.
Does anyone know what may cause this?
problems with PHP and SC.exe
