I installed the bibliography module and when I go to create content >> biblio, I get a message that apache needs to close. I checked the apache error log and found this: [notice] Parent: child process exited with status 3221225477 -- Restarting.

This is probably a local software configuration issue, as opposed to a biblio issue, but I was wondering if anyone had come across this before? I'm using:

PHP Version 4.4.4
Apache/2.2.3 (Win32)
Windows XP Professional
Drupal 4.7.4

Cheers.

I've got the same error message in my apache2.05 error logs, using Win2003, php5,mysql5

Parent: child process exited with status 3221225477

And in my event properties application error log I've got this:

Faulting application Apache.exe, version 2.0.55.0, faulting module php5ts.dll, version 5.1.2.2, fault address 0x00009309.

Googled the issue and found that this information really helped out. I uncommented the following:

If you encounter problems running Apache 2 under Windows, such as corrupted or incomplete file downloads, unexplained error messages, or a conflict with a software firewall, please place the following three directives in your httpd.conf configuration file to see if they eliminate the problems:

EnableSendfile Off
EnableMMAP Off
Win32DisableAcceptEx

The general problem is that many people install various add-ons to windows (such as software firewalls, virus checkers, etc) that break some of the advanced functionality that Apache uses to speed the sending of files. The above directives turn off the advanced functionality and make Apache fall back to more basic (but slower) techniques. This resolves most, but not all of the potential problems. If you continue to experience problems, be certain that there is no spyware installed on the box, which exhibits exactly the same sorts of flaws (often more obviously).

After doing that I tried changing the input formats and this time I didn't get the error.
