RE: [PHP-WIN] Re: COM stalls the server.. From: Ross Fleming (r.fleming <email protected>)
Date: 07/09/02

Hi, thanks for your reply. The COM app doesn't even start. Viewing the
webpage that only attempts to open and close a COM instance (to winamp
incidently) simply says "Web page found, waiting for reply" and nothing ever
happens. Simply trying it against the command line works fine however which
baffles me. It also puts me in the direction of permissions I'd guess? But
I've never really used XP/NT/2K before so I'm not sure where to look in that
case.

I read your answer to Olivier (whose problem appears to be the same as mine)
and as for the user not being able to use COM, for the benefits of testing,
I was logged in as administrator which makes me doubtful that the cause lies
there?...

Would appreciate any other advice you might have.

Cheers

Ross

Have you been making sure that the COM app. actually
finishes and cleans up properly on the server
(i.e. CTL+ALT+DEL process list doesn't show it)?

I was playing with Excel+COM with PHP 4.2.0 and
there was a bug with the COM implementation and the
Excel instance would never terminate.... so after a few
minutes, there'd be so many open Excel instances that
the computer would really slow down.

I'd imagine that on a server, the problem would be
magnified.
