I thought the idea of testing php extensions to see which ones result in segmentation faults was a very good one indeed. Yes, there is no scripting issue here. I am unable to even start apache so whatever scripts I may have, it does not really matter. I am not able to go very far. So I commented out all extensions and then brought them in one by one. The one which was causing core dumps was simplexml.so. I had a few others that I had to comment as otherwise they were giving me trouble (because of the simplexml being commented out I guess): pdo.so, pdo_sqlite.so, spl.so, mysqli.so, sqlite.so. I am not really worried about these. I am not really sure if I will ever need them. So fine for the time being. php -v does not produce core dumps and I can start apache. There's only one problem left to be solved. After the upgrade php scripts behave as if they were not recognized. I made a test and put a standard index.html file in a directory, called a browser and the page was displayed properly. I then changed the page name to index.php and ran the browser again. This time the directory content was displayed, showing the index.php file present in it (it wasn't parsed by the browser). When I reloaded, the page content was finally displayed in a browser. So in other words it seems as if the "php" page was not properly parsed at first. It happens the same way with my wordpress family blog. It just shows directory content and when I click refresh index.php is called into the broser. But links to further php pages result in directory being shown again. I do have: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps inside httpd.conf. Thoughts anyone? Again thank you so much for so many responses. I read them all and they were very helpful! Zbigniew Szalbot -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
