I´m getting hundreds of these errors in the apache log in a website with around 4000 visits per hour. I have never seen any evidence of these errors affecting user experience in the website, but i believe it may be happening 1 in 100 requests or something like that, making it very difficult to diagnose.
These messages are really absurd as for what they say they should be killing the requests generating bad user experience, and DRUPAL_ROOT is defined in index.php, so how can it already be defined if it is called only once in the execution thread?
I've seen these errors are almost always close to a Core Dump error record. Any complete theories about what could be happening here?
And drupal_bootstrap not defined right after "require_once DRUPAL_ROOT . '/includes/bootstrap.inc';" how is this possible?
Have anyone seen this happen before?
These are the errors I see in the log:
PHP Notice: Constant DRUPAL_ROOT already defined in /var/www/vhosts/hsbnoticias/index.php on line 17, referer: http://diariodelsur.com.co/noticias/judicial
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function drupal_bootstrap() in /var/www/vhosts/hsbnoticias/index.php on line 20, referer: http://diariodelsur.com.co/noticias/judicial
I´m using a 6GB Linde Ubuntu LAMP Single Server, with around 300 to 400 apache preforked processes. The website seems to be working fine, so no errors are being reported by vistors, no evidence of errors in analytics, and haven´t seen these popping up in the client side my self.

I have a WordPress web site running on Windows Server 2012 R2 via IIS and PHP 7.1.1. Everything works well, except once or twice a day, the site returns a white screen (HTTP 500) and the error log shows the following errors:
[17-Jan-2019 15:29:15 UTC] PHP Warning: require_once(D:\Webs\www.WebS): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\Webs\www.WebSite.com\wp-content\plugins\captcha\bws_menu\bws_include.php on line 91
[17-Jan-2019 15:29:15 UTC] PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'D:\Webs\www.WebSite.com/wp-content/plugins/captcha/bws_menu/bws_functions.php' (include_path='.;C:\php\pear') in D:\Webs\www.WebSite.com\wp-content\plugins\captcha\bws_menu\bws_include.php on line 91
FYI - I have changed the path off of D:\Webs to show a fictitious website name.
Notice that the path is cut off. Sometimes the path is cut off in different places. Sometimes it's to completely different files for completely different plugis. Sometimes it's even complaining about WordPress core. The only thing consistent is that once this happens, the exact same path is the failure until I recycle the App Pool. When it happens again, it's a different file, but complains about the same file until I recycle the App Pool.
What gives?
The only workaround I have is to recycle the app pool or set IIS to automatically recycle on a schedule. Neither of these are good long term solutions.
I should also note that this server has about 10 other WordPress sites running. They each have their own App Pool and run from their own folder. They never, ever have this problem.
Also, resources on the server are excellent. At the highest traffic times, the CPU's are less than 50% and there is less than 75% memory utilization. There are also many gigabytes of free disk space on the system volume as well as the data volume the site runs from.
Please don't reply with "don't run PHP or WordPress on Windows/IIS." That's not helpful - I cannot change the environment and I need to figure out the solution.
I have 100% control of the server environment and can debug/troubleshoot as needed. So if there's any way to get more information, please let me know!
Recently my aplications started throwing errors of this kind:
PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare {X Class} (previously declared in {X File: X line}) in {X File: X line}
After some investigations, I came to the conclusion that the PHP code is somehow being executed twice.
To make sure, I created a file with the following code:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
define('SOMETHING', 'ITS OK');
echo SOMETHING;
die();
That is the entire code of the file. Yet sometimes, when requesting that file, the following error is beeing produced:
PHP Notice: Constant SOMETHING already defined in {Y File} on line 6
Do you know what kind of setting could be causing this?
The issue seems easyer to reproduce with fast consecutive requests but it might not be limited to that scenario, sometimes it seems to happen on a single request (but Im not considering this a fact)
The issue seem to appear because of proactive defense in imunify360. https://www.imunify360.com/proactive-defense . Disabling the proactive defense php module seems to resolve the issue.
Having the same problem while installing the latest Prestashop on my server. So as #Agnes Tom has recommended, I changed the define.inc.php file and this is the error it´s showing up:

Might anyone helping me to know how to solve this error??
Thank you for your time
It's throwing an error saying it can't find or write to '/var/php_sessions/'
Do you have full access to the server?
If so, check if that folder exists and if the user or web server has permission to write to it, or change in php.ini
session.save_path = "/var/php_sessions"
To something like :
session.save_path = "/home/user/sessions"
Again, must be an existing folder with read/write permissions for the user or web server (this depends if you run the web server as own user or as account user).
If it's a shared envoirement, you better contact you hosting provider. Some allow you to have a php.ini in your hosting root and you could use it to change the session.save_path, others ignore it.
How to recognize the Error 500
First, we need to go over the different ways you might see this error message on your computer. There are different forms of this message because each host/server is allowed to customize the way it’s displayed. Here are some common ways you might see this error.
“500 Internal Server Error”
“HTTP 500 – Internal Server Error”
“Internal Server Error”
“HTTP 500 Internal Error”
“500 Error”
“HTTP Error 500″
Most times you will see this message accompanied by various forms of this classic ambiguous line
“The server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request by the client”
It’s important to note that this error can be shown on any browser and any operating system (sorry, but switching to the new Mac Pro will not solve this problem) Here is a screenshot of one of the ways this error might be displayed on your browser.
Internal error server
What is the 500 Error?
Put simply, the 500 error is the Web servers way of saying “Something went wrong but I can’t tell you what, sorry.” This is what we call a “server-side” error. That means that there is something wrong with the server who is hosting the website. It is an extremely general error usually caused by configuration issues with the websites programming, PHP or system permissions.
How Can I Troubleshoot?
Don’t fret; although this error message is absurdly vague, you still have ways to find more information. Web servers are almost always configured to hide specific error messages. If your PrestaShop store is suffering from this debilitating error, you can turn on PrestaShop’s Error Reporting from FTP or your hosting’s CPanel to get more details.
There are two ways to turn on Error Reporting in PrestaShop depending on what version you have.
For PrestaShop v1.4 through v1.5.2
Open config/config.inc.php
On or around line 29 you will find this line
#ini_set('display_errors', 'off');
Change that line to read
#ini_set('display_errors', 'on');
For PrestaShop v1.5.3+
Open config/defines.inc.php
On or around line 28 you will find this line
define('_PS_MODE_DEV_', false);
Change that line to read
define('_PS_MODE_DEV_', true);
Once you enable error reporting through your FTP or CPanel, you can navigate back to your PrestaShop’s front or back office and reproduce the error or issue you are having. For example, if you are not able to access your website because of the 500 error, you will need to turn on error reporting and refresh the page(s) that had the error. There will be additional information that you can use to investigate the problem.
Investigating the Error
Once you have the additional information, there are some standard ways to further investigate the error. First, let’s go over some the most common ways this problem is caused. Once we find the cause of this error, it is much easier to solve.
Permissions: Many times you will find that the permission setting on one of your folders is set incorrectly. It could be a simple fix as switching a file/folder permission from 777 to 755 or vice versa. In most cases permission sets of 777 are extremely unsafe and can allow even an amateur hacker to access your files and put malicious code in it. Make sure to check with your hosting provider for specific information about permissions set as some servers have different regulations.
Incorrectly configured .htaccess: Oftentimes you will receive an internal server error when the htaccess file is configured incorrectly. For PrestaShop purposes, the main culprits of the htaccess errors are “URL Rewrite” settings or Friendly URL enabling. The htaccess syntax is very strict so even one wrong character or command will cause the server to return an Internal Error 500. Make a backup of your htaccess and regenerate the htaccess file either through the back office or by toggling the Enable Friendly URL option.
Server timeout: Every server has their own timeout setting, which sets the time that any given script can run. If the function or script crosses that limit, you will receive an error 500. The most common scripts in PrestaShop that can take too long to load are CSV Imports, backups, translation loading, import/exports and thumbnail regeneration. Many times the server limit is 30 seconds, which is not long enough to run these scripts. You should contact your hosting provider and inquire about changing the limit, at least temporarily.
Now, if the problem is not solved by investigating these common causes, you should also take a look at the Apache and PHP Error logs. These are provided by your hosting provider but sometimes you will need to contact them directly in order to have access to these log files.
I have a PHP 7 app that works well on all servers it's installed on except one. All servers are Windows (I believe server 2008 R2 and 2012). The problem is that on one of the servers, we keep getting two kinds of errors sporadically, seemingly randomly. One of the errors is
session_destroy(): Session object destruction failed
and the other is
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ErrorException' with message 'Unknown: open(E:\tmp\sess_6qlo69vbii0qs65i4n47blafi3, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13)' in Unknown:0
Every search I do on these errors go back to permissions, which makes sense aside from the fact that it's not happening every time, it's random. What am I missing here, could anything cause the permissions on the file to be different when the session gets created for some reason in certain situations? Or anything else that could possibly explain this behavior?
I'm experiencing a strange situation.
My application logs lot of trace logs to a file. (I don't know exactly how, I use my frameworks logger. Can check this though)
Problems is, when an application is terminated by a fatal error (only fatal) [example - "Fatal error: Call to a member function someFunction() on a non-object"] , I end up with no logs, even logs that should have been recorded much earlier during the execution of my script.
(Yes, I tried to flush logs, this doesn't help either. It looks like the termination of the application by a fatal error, somehow cancels writing to files done at earlier points of the application.
Any ideas what goes on here?
Thank you
A Fatal Error is... well... Fatal : it stops the execution of the script, which will not do anything that should have been done.
In your case, I suppose your logging framework logs into memory -- and that this in-memory log is only written to the file when the processing of the request is done.
Some logging mecanisms do that, to avoid writing to a file several times, at different points during the generation of the response (which means keeping the file locked, to avoid concurrency problems ; or opening-closing-reopening-reclosing-... it)
As you get a Fatal Error, the normal operation that should be done at the end of the response's generation is not called -- and, so, the in-memory log is not written to the file.
Now, the only way to know for sure would be to take a look at the logging mecanisms of your Framework ;-)
Apparently, the fatality of the fatal error that Pascal mentioned, is not 100% fatal.
The below allowed me to have my logs even on fatal errors:
function correctShutdown()
{
logger->flush();
}
register_shutdown_function('correctShutdown');
