Gallery version (not just "2"):2.2.1
PHP version (e.g. 4.3.11): 4.4.5
PHPInfo Link (see FAQ): http://www.reprehensible.net/keke.php
Webserver (e.g. Apache 1.3.33): Apache 2.0.59
Database (e.g. MySql 4.0.11): MySQL 5.0.33
Operating system (e.g. Linux): FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE SMP amd64
Browser (e.g. Firefox 1.0): Mozilla 1.8, FF 1.1, IE7

Installation is successful up until step 8. The progress bar stops midway through installing the core module. The Apache error log has the following: 

ALERT - canary mismatch on efree() - heap overflow or double efree detected (attacker 'x.x.x.x', file '.../gallery2/lib/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php', line 498), referer: http://www.reprehensible.net/gallery2/install/index.php?step=7

I am using the ports version of PHP currently. Am I going to have to break down and go back to building my own copy of PHP?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

google yields: http://forum.hardened-php.net/viewtopic.php?pid=520

anyhow, i guess that's a notice / warning, not an error.

or did the execution halt at this point?
anything in your installation log of g2?

Right. Thats what I thought too.

The install log looks normal. I thought I attached that, sorry. I couldn't find any errors, or anything that looked to be out of the ordinary. I've tried screwing around with php memory limits and loaded extensions... nothing seems to work.

Hello sig11,

Did you find a solution for that problem?
I have the same problems, Installation stop at step 8 and I have a the entry in my error logfile

Quote:
[error]ALERT - canary mismatch on efree() - heap overflow or double efree detected (attacker '80.129.113.7', file '/home/1010100/www/gallery2/lib/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php', line 498), referer: http://www.1010100.org/gallery2/install/index.php?step=7

Is it a problem with the Suhosin Patch?

Thanks, and sorry for my bad english ;-)

PHP Version 4.4.6
Suhosin Patch 0.9.6
PHPInfo Link
Gallery2 2.2.1

I haven't come up with anything thus far. I'm going to try building php outside of ports today and see what happens.

mr_colson

please post the exact error that you get. if you don't see any error in g2, check your webserver's error log.

I cannot be 100% sure but it appears to be a Suoshin patch problem. I built php without it and was able to complete the gallery install.

Now I just have to find a way to recover my database!

Rhiannan

that's a different issue.
please reupload gallery2/bootstrap.inc.

if the problem persists, please create a new forum topic to discuss your case.

Has anyone found a workaround for the "ALERT - canary mismatch on efree()" failure during installation step 8 (other than rebuilding without the suhosin patch)?

I have exactly this problem, and currently can't change the php running on my server.

Thanks in advance for any help.
