Topic: PHP 5.3.0 Update causing httpd processes to segfault.
I have been using the "remi" updates for quite some time, and I have benefited tremendously from the work of having the MySQL and PHP packages pre built. Unfortunately the PHP 5.3.0 update has severely broken my web pages.
I am running CentOS 4.7 on x86_64 architecture, httpd-2.0.52, php-5.3.0 1.el4.remi.
Although php-eacclerator was installed, it would not load when restarting the httpd daemon. After compiling php-eacclerator from source this problem went away.
Also since the php-5.3.0 upgrade, the php-ffmpeg module would not load. Again, compiling this from source cleared that problem.
Now PHP 5.3.0 loads without any errors. Unfortunately, when I point a web browser to my PHP based web pages (geeklog, phpMyAdmin, etc) the httpd process will seg-fault and the error "Zero Sized Reply" is returned to the browser.
Obviously the httpd package was not touched and all web pages were working fine before the PHP-5.3.0 update. The assumption is that the PHP-5.3.0 packages are the culprit to seg-faulting the httpd processes.
I don't know if it the php-5.3.0 updates not compatible with the httpd package that is installed, or what the problem might be, but the latest upgrades do not work in my environment.
Thanks.
