# PHP socket automatically shuts down after ? hours of idling? - Thread: https://externals.io/message/45884 - Original archive: https://news-web.php.net/php.internals/45884 - Started by Chris Jiang on 2009-10-28T08:26:55+00:00 - Messages: 6 - Reply by email to internals@lists.php.net - More for agents: search with https://externals.io/search.md?q={query} · JSON API at https://externals.io/api · documentation at https://externals.io/llms.txt --- ## #45884 — Chris Jiang — 2009-10-28T08:26:55+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/45884#45884 Hi all, here is another question that made me confused. I'm not sure if it's a bug or what, but I can't find an answer from the search engines. I've made a chat server using php socket features, and it works pretty well as I've expected. However, there is a weird thing happening: The server shuts down automatically after about 3 hours of idling (no connections). I've set the php execution time limit to 0, and running this script from shell in the background of CentOS 5.3. Can't think of any other reason causing this strange behavior. Any hint? Thx! --- ## #45926 — Hannes Magnusson — 2009-11-01T18:32:06+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/45884#45926 · In reply to: #45884 2009/10/28 Chris Jiang : > Hi all, here is another question that made me confused.

Do you have a shortish reproduce case? -Hannes --- ## #45933 — Chris Jiang — 2009-11-02T02:27:11+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/45884#45933 · In reply to: #45926 Hi Hannes, It just shuts down the socket server without any error, warning or notice. I'm sorry that I can't provide a case for reproduction, because I don't even know where the problem is, and where I should shorten the script to. However, there is a strange behavior that might help to target the trouble: 1) The socket server runs fine when it starts, as long as there are ppl keeping connected to the server. 2) After about 3 hours of idling (I couldn't count the exact time), when someone connect to the socket, it still works, for the FIRST connection. 3) Then, the server shuts down. I tried to log what happend during the operation, but didn't find anything useful. :( Any hint on this? Thanks! Chris Jiang > 2009/10/28 Chris Jiang : > > […] > > Without any notices/warnings/errors?

I couldn't reply to this mail. Weird. :( My platform is Centos 5.2 with PHP 5.2.8 and Apache 2.2.14. Unfortunately, I don't know how to dump the tcp connection info. Any hint?

It was a mysql connection timeout causing the PHP encountering a fatal error, and shuts down the server. Thank you all again for your time and help. :D > Hi what is your platform ?2.
