Hi
since 2 weeks I had an issue, the mediawiki on my server crashes. In the error-log of the apache I get that:
Code:
[Tue Jan 29 09:18:07 2013] [notice] child pid 345 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Tue Jan 29 09:18:07 2013] [notice] child pid 346 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

Since that I rebuild several times the apache, php and other libraries, but it doesn't getting better. Now I used the gdb and saw that php crashes:
Code:

Reading symbols from /lib64/libnss_db.so.2...(no debugging symbols found)...done                                                                                                                     .

Did anybody has an idea how to fix it?

I have the exact same issue with MediaWiki 1.20.2 (and 1.20.1) throwing an Apache segmentation fault.
I've tried other versions of PHP (5.4.8, 5.4.9 & 5.4.10) with the same results. I'm currently using dev-lang/php-5.4.11-r2

I've completely recompiled all the installed packages with the exact same outcome. It's really causing us grief at work to have our internal wiki down.
Other PHP apps like phpmyadmin work just fine.

Any help/advise would be much appreciated!

Under a user mode linux image I could convince apache's php module to not segfault by adding this configure option to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:
Code:
CoreDumpDirectory /tmp/apache2-gdb-dump
(sic!)

As it seems I am suffering from the exact same problems here. My apache also segfaults in libphp5.so in file_check_mem() which seems to be triggered by using the fileinfo module of php. Since this topic was opened in january and some time has passed. Did someone find a solution yet? I tried recompiling everything from scratch and all involved third-party library without any success. I can easily reproduce the problem by using an own php like this:

Code:

<?php
 $mime_type = @mime_content_type("/tmp/blah.txt");
 echo $mime_type . "\n";
?>


all you have to do is generate a textfile in /tmp/blah.txt. When executing this php script via apache it instantly segfault. Interesting enough it doesn't crash when executing it from command-line. In fact, I can see the same crash happening when using fileinfo directly like that:

Code:

<?php
 $finfo = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME);
 if($finfo)
 {
   $mime_type = finfo_file($finfo, "/tmp/blah.txt");
   echo $mime_type . "\n";

   finfo_close($finfo);
 }
?>


this also causes a crash here with also referencing file_check_mem() as you can see here:

Code:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

ok, I just created a bug report for that issue. see here:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=467756

perhaps you can comment there to somewhat raise priority on the matter.

btw: I just found out that the problem seems to be related more closely to mod_php used with apache as I reconfigured apache to use php with fpm support (fastcgi) and after starting apache with fpm support my example scripts doesn't crash apache anymore.

Hello,

I have the same problem with "vanilla" Apache, calling just default index.html.

It works fine on a ~amd64 config (with PHP 5), but not on a ~x86 config/

I did a strace on a one-thread session of APACHE :
Code:
strace /usr/sbin/apache2 -X -D DEFAULT_VHOST -d /usr/lib/apache2 -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

it ends with when I open http://localhost/
Code:
gettimeofday({1368598430, 9341}, NULL)  = 0
epoll_create1(EPOLL_CLOEXEC)            = 8
epoll_ctl(8, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, 4, {...})   = 0
semop(1769498, {{0, -1, SEM_UNDO}}, 1)  = 0
accept4(4, {sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(55266), inet_pton(AF_INET6, "::1", &sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=0, sin6_scope_id=0}, [28], SOCK_CLOEXEC) = 9
semop(1769498, {{0, 1, SEM_UNDO}}, 1)   = 0
getsockname(9, {sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(80), inet_pton(AF_INET6, "::1", &sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=0, sin6_scope_id=0}, [28]) = 0
fcntl64(9, F_GETFL)                     = 0x2 (flags O_RDWR)
fcntl64(9, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK)  = 0
read(9, "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: n0n4m3.alc"..., 8000) = 327
gettimeofday({1368598432, 684568}, NULL) = 0
stat64("/var/www/localhost/htdocs/", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
open("/var/www/localhost/htdocs/.htaccess", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat64("/var/www/localhost/htdocs/index.html", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=45, ...}) = 0
open("/var/www/localhost/htdocs/index.html", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE|O_CLOEXEC) = 10
--- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SEGV_ACCERR, si_addr=0x8064450} ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

in my case, I added USE=nss for apr-utils and it worked.
