Segmentation Fault

  • I just recently switched servers and upgraded my wordpress system. Everything worked fine, until I recompilled apache. Now everytime I hit my wordpress site I get a segmentation fault in my apache log files.

    I am using php 4.3.11, mysql 4.1, and apache 1.3.33 with wordpress 1.5.

    I have narrowed things down to being when wordpress tries to query the database, however what is strange is that I can create a script and query the database no problem, it is only when wordpress tries to use its database functions that I get the segmentation fault. Also lastly I notice I get the same segmentation fault when using phpMyAdmin on JUST the wordpress database. All my other databases are fine…

    Anyway light onto why this is happening would be great.

  • Did you check over your httpd.conf file to see if everything is correct after you recompilled apache?

    Yup everything looks good… After doing some more digging it turns out that php’s mysql_fetch_field is causing the seg fault…

    This may be related to a bug in PHP.

    MFH: Fixed bug #31288 (Possible crash in mysql_fetch_field(), if mysql_list_fields() was not called previously).

    See https://www.phpdoc.info/commits/3720

    Should WordPress call mysql_list_fields() before mysql_fetch_field()?

    Turns out this

    was not my problem. I had two apache modules loaded that were compiled against different versions of the mysql client library. I am waiting for another domain to be pointed at my server before seeing if using the correct version of the mysql client library fixes the problem. I should know in a couple of days.

    Thanks,
    Steve
