Bug #841
closedSegmentation fault using fastcgi / php5-cgi
Description
Hi all,
I have a critical problem using lighty on Ubuntu Linux 6.06.1 Dapper
{{{ "Linux kyr0desk 2.6.15-25-386 #1 PREEMPT Wed Jun 14 11:25:49 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux" }}}
using the default Ubuntu universal repository lighttpd binary in version 1.4.11.
Lighty crashes by browsing to "localhost" using fastcgi with php5-cgi.
But it's not a php5-cgi problem:
root@kyr0desk:/www# /usr/bin/php5-cgi index.php X-Powered-By: PHP/5.1.2 Content-type: text/html testroot@kyr0desk:/www#
index.php source:
<?php
echo("test");
?>
-- kyr0

I think its because php5-cgi hasn't been built with lighttpd support; the Ubuntu package depends on php4-cgi. I had the same problem on my first attempt. In any case, you can get it working - and probably working a heck of a lot faster - by using a socket instead of a port connection.
ie, make the config:
fastcgi.server = (".php" => ("localhost" => ("bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php5-cgi",[[[BR]]]
"socket" => "/tmp/php5-fcgi.socket",[[[BR]]]

Good catch, can you rebuild the strace with the option -s 512:
$ strace -s 512 -tt ...
Without the -s 512 the strings are cut off too early:
424 write(5, "2006-09-08 14:36:46: (mod_fastcg"..., 80) = 80
425 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
426 ++ killed by SIGSEGV ++
and can you use the debug-version of lighty when you run valgrind ?
If you compiled from source a lighttpd-binary with debug-symbols is in the src/ folder:
$ file src/lighttpd
lighttpd: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, not stripped
Otherwise I don't get line-numbers for the segfault as you see below:

confirmed for 1.4.16
The problem is, that it is not clear in the source, if it is ok to not specify "host".
The config sanity check requires the following:
- that you do not set (host or port) AND unixsocket,
- if unixsocket is not set -> tcp/ip
- you set at least "host" or "bin-path"
- port != 0
The struct docu says that for tcp/ip host AND port are needed.
Now some code (like fcgi_spawn_connection), accepts unspecified host for tcp, but not all code does, e.g. fcgi_write_request.
Try the patch below, which uses INADDR_LOOPBACK if host is not specified.
Another possibility would be to spawn the fcgi-process with bind(INADDR_ANY) and connect to INADDR_LOOPBACK (just remove the second part of the patch, which changes INADDR_ANY to INADDR_LOOPBACK).
One problem remains: if the fastcgi-process does not die while the server gets restarted, the proc is marked as not local; if the fastcgi-process dies now, the server wont restart it, as it is not local, although it has a bin_path.

I just read through the mod_fastcgi diff since 1.4.16 and i didn't find a fix for this, so i think it is just there (i did not test it again).
Updated patch for current svn.
