I normally don’t. My webhost is Linux, My desktop is linux. Would you have been happier if I said 1960?

Turns out this

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

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,

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()?

Hi, I had this problem too. no tables created. However, I’m installing WordPress on my server so I could debug it as well. The flush() just outputs the content that the server had published up to that point.

I found my apache instance would terminate during step2 with a segmentation fault (likely trying to read [virtual] memory that isn’t there).

from /var/log/apache/error.log
[Tue Oct 25 22:33:46 2005] [notice] child pid 7170 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

Further searches for this crash led to this.

commenting out the following line in wp-db.php:
$this->col_info[$i] = @mysql_fetch_field($this->result);

fixed the problem.
