Updating plugins causes segfault

  • Apart from using WP 4.7, I am using php 5.6.29.

    I have been trying to update my plugins, and a new error in the past couple of weeks is that I get a browser error saying “the connection has been reset”. Checking the error logs with my ISP (I have a virtual domain), I find that updating caused a segmentation fault in a process on the server end. I asked if he could see what process it was, but he could only get the job number, which would by now be un-traceable because the process already died. A better question to ask the forum would be: any idea what commands would be invoked by updating plugins from the plugins page? SSH2 is ruled out, because it was still running and did not have the same PID, and a failing ssh2 would be much more noticeable on this ISP, since many other important services depend on it.

    Any suggestions/ideas as to what can cause this error when updating plugins? I use ssh2 as the protocol. The web server doesn’t actually accept raw ftp connections, so I never selected “ftp”. ssh2 was never a problem in the past.
