I've got a few gentoo servers set up in various places, and can generally sort the "issues" out, but this one is bugging me...

It's a small local server which runs apache+php, but for a couple of weeks (since something was upgraded, i guess), enabling "-D PHP5" in APACHE2_OPTS stops apache working with the following errors in error_log whenever anything is requested:

Code:
[Tue Aug 25 23:19:02 2009] [notice] child pid 12668 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Wed Aug 26 09:27:29 2009] [notice] child pid 12669 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

etc

Taking out the -D PHP5 and everything (except php!) works fine.

I've recompiled *everything* (-e system, then -e world at least twice), I've deleted everything to do with apache and php and reinstalled them... still the same.

They are installed with the following flags:

Code:
[ebuild   R   ] www-servers/apache-2.2.11-r2  USE="ldap ssl -debug -doc (-selinux) -sni -static -suexec -threads" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias -asis -auth_digest -authn_dbd -cern_meta -charset_lite -dbd -dumpio -ident -imagemap -log_forensic -proxy -proxy_ajp -proxy_balancer -proxy_connect -proxy_ftp -proxy_http -substitute -version" APACHE2_MPMS="-event -itk -peruser -prefork -worker" 0 kB

Any suggestions as to anything else which might be causing the segfault, please let me know!

Your USE flags look pretty standard, I run a very similar install with no problems. Could you post the output of "emerge --info"

As far as I can recall it's a fairly standard box... been steadily updated over the months/years, but nothing too drastic (that I recall, anyway!).

Code:

That looks fine as well. Maybe try compiling without the "-march=c3-2" option, just to narrow it down, but really I'm just grasping at straws.

Maybe someone else can explain the best way to debug a segfault. But really, if it's segfaulting then it's either a hardware problem or a bug, so if you think your hardware is ok you might as well just submit it to bugs.gentoo.org.

Thanks - I might try that! I'm currently having a "tidy up". After doing all the -e rebuilds, there are quite a few lib/bin/sbin/etc files which weren't rebuilt, so I'm moving them to temporary directories, and revdep-rebuilding to see what is broken, then fixing it! Hopefully that'll mean *everything* is up to date - there were files dating back to 2003, and I'm sure the server isn't *that* old!

Fingers crossed :)

You know, I had random segfaults with 5.2.10 as well ... figured I did something wrong. I just ended up going back to 5.2.9 instead of dealing with it.

Getting somewhere! Playing around - apache would display an error or a directory listing, but any files at all and it segfaulted. Clearing out the old files elsewhere got me thinking - rummaging round a bit more, there were quite a few old apache modules and php related stuff which hadn't been caught by the rebuilds, so I deleted all the apache and php directories and re-emerged both.

Hey presto - working apache+php!

Now I just have to remember what I started doing two weeks ago which triggered this whole saga...

Thanks for the help!
