note 33470 added to install.apache2

Apache 2.x causes segmentation fault when reading .htaccess. Before you tear your hair out, if you place the following in /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf <Files *.html> SetOutputFilter PHP SetInputFilter PHP LimitRequestBody 524288 </Files> OR <Files *.htm?> SetOutputFilter PHP SetInputFilter PHP LimitRequestBody 524288 </Files> to get files with extension .htm or .html to go through the PHP parser, Apache 2.x will crash when it reads a .htaccess file containing Auth codes (actually the "Require" directive specifically). Instead, use this for .htm files: <Files *.htm> SetOutputFilter PHP SetInputFilter PHP LimitRequestBody 524288 </Files> and for .html, this AddType application/x-httpd-php .html This applies to a RedHat 9.0 installation which uses httpd-2.0.40-21 php-4.2.2-17 Hope this saves someone the many hours it took me to track this down.
