php cli not working in my web server

Question

I am trying to run a php file in my web server in command line using

php test.php

But it is not working. it runs forever and takes 100% resources. It was working yesterday and now it is not working.

I tried to debug the process using

strace -p <pid>

and got lots of

times(NULL) = -2058427839

Can anyone help me to debug this? Rebooting and upgrading is my last resort. Please suggest a solution without reboot or upgrade.

The source code of your test.php would be quite interesting to look at. — Alexander Olsson

php -v tells you something like PHP x.y.z (**cli**), not cgi or something like that? — VolkerK

you should also provide source code of that file to examine.. — Rukmi Patel

I just used <?php echo "test"; ?>. Also I tried php -v. It is also taking long time and 100% cpu and not returning to prompt. I had to use ctrl-c to exit. — Poomalairaj

Try to run your php file in cli without the configuration file using the following command:

php -n <your-filename.php>

and then check whether its working?

Thank you Very much Ashok. When I run php without configuration file, it runs. There seems to be a problem in the extensions directory in php.ini. I changed the extensions directory and now everything is fine.

Place this into your test.php file to check that it is working and to see what is available.

phpinfo();
