MySQL not working with PHP, Segmentation fault (11)

An all-too-familiar problem: PHP is not working with MySQL. The httpd error log gets these in it whenever I try a mysql_connect(): [notice] child pid 3223 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) The config: PHP 4.1.2 installed from RPM MySQL 4.0.12 installed from RPM Apache 1.3.27 installed from RPM Redhat 8.0 I also have the following PHP components installed: php-odbc-4.1.2-7.3.6 php-mysql-4.1.2-7.3.6 php-imap-4.1.2-7.3.6 php-pgsql-4.1.2-7.3.6 php-ldap-4.1.2-7.3.6 php-devel-4.1.2-7.3.6 MySQL by itself works fine, and PHP without using MySQL seems to be working fine too. If I load the <? phpinfo() ?> page, I do see the section on mysql support, and it says it is enabled. But when I run the following code, nothing is returned to the browser, and I get the seg fault error: <? @ $db = mysql_connect("localhost", "XXXXXX", "YYYYYY"); if (!$db) { echo "database connection error"; exit; } ?> There is one tidbit worth mentioning. When I installed the RPM php-mysql-4.1.2-7.3.6.i386.rpm, it said this: warning: php-mysql-4.1.2-7.3.6.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e error: Failed dependencies: libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by php-mysql-4.1.2-7.3.6 So I created a soft link like this: /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.10 -> libmysqlclient.so.12.0.0 And then re-ran the RPM installed like this: rpm -Uvh --nodeps php-mysql-4.1.2-7.3.6.i386.rpm The mysql.so file is present: ls -al /usr/lib/php4 total 1668 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 12 09:23 . drwxr-xr-x 83 root root 45056 Apr 10 15:34 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1453338 Sep 26 2002 imap.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 42069 Sep 26 2002 ldap.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 43338 Sep 26 2002 mysql.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 60102 Sep 26 2002 odbc.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 42868 Sep 26 2002 pgsql.so The contents of my httpd.conf, with respect to PHP: .. <IfDefine HAVE_PHP> LoadModule php_module modules/mod_php.so </IfDefine> <IfDefine HAVE_PHP3> LoadModule php3_module modules/libphp3.so </IfDefine> <IfDefine HAVE_PHP4> LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so </IfDefine> .. <IfDefine HAVE_PHP> AddModule mod_php.c </IfDefine> <IfDefine HAVE_PHP3> AddModule mod_php3.c </IfDefine> <IfDefine HAVE_PHP4> AddModule mod_php4.c </IfDefine> .. <IfModule mod_php4.c> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps </IfModule> <IfModule mod_php3.c> AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps </IfModule> <IfModule mod_php.c> AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml </IfModule> Thanks for your assistance! -- ___|o__\_____ ..\( )______( )\ derek m wickersham | dwNOSPAM@mtco.com
