PHP 4.0 Bug #4577: Apache 1.3.12 httpd dies immediately after startup

From: scheller@spamcop.net Operating system: RedHat 6.2 2.2.14-5.0 i686 PHP version: 4.0.0 Release PHP Bug Type: Oracle related Bug description: Apache 1.3.12 httpd dies immediately after startup Using Oracle 8.1.5 (downloaded from Oracle technet); oracle environment set to locally installed database, using this configure line: ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-oracle After successful make & make install and adding $ORACLE_HOME/lib to my /etc/ld.so.conf so the php4 module could find the shared Oracle libraries, any time I try to start the httpd (Apache 1.3.12/stock from RH 6.2 distribution) it dies somewhere in the init process before even writing anything to the error_log. Using strace, determined that httpd did successfully fork its children and then ??? php.ini file is stock from installation. Remade php4 without Oracle and all is fine. Can anyone give me more information about how to get more as to what's happening? Where httpd is dying?
