I have a new installation of php on an existing apache 2 server, and something strange is happening. The file 'test.php' works and connects to the database when run through the command line, but when run from the web server (http://server/test.php) produces a segmentation fault: "child pid 29056 exit signal Segmentation fault"

segmentation faults are a built in feature of the PHP/Apache2 setup whenever you don't use the PREFORK Apache2 worker module - I know barely enough to know this - this is due to threading (which is not supported with ?most? php extension - not sure if php itself has this problem also). Anyway bottom line switch to PREFORK worker module if your not already using it, alternatively you could try to get a stable threaded setup going.... but before you embark I'd like to paraphrase a higher PHP authority, Rasmus Leidorf (they don't get any higher actually) speaking in relation to using a threaded Apache2 worker module: "Your in unchartered territory, good luck." and "Nobody knows."

php itself does work, and a file with only phpinfo() in it runs fine on both the server and the command line. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Any ideas? <?php $link = mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "pass") or die("Could not connect"); mysql_select_db("disorder") or die("Could not select database"); print "hello";

also you may need/wish to try the newer mysqli_* extension which is geared to the latest versions of MySQL.
