Httpd produces many 'oralce[defunct]' processes when I use php to access oracle database,though I close the 'cursor' and use ora_logoff function to close the connection.these process is dead.why?
Hi,
There's a problem encountered with Oracle8 and Linux platform which cause <defunc> processes. Try to configure php using --enable-sigchild.

I am also having this problem enabling sigchild doesn't seem to work either. Although I have read that there is some kind of FD-Patch that is suppose to work. Are there any other work arounds?
