Has anyone else seen this. >>G White Ports are very nice, but if you are going to be running your business on Apache + PHP I would *strongly* suggest downloading and installing both from the source. It's not that hard, and you will need to know the particulars of each to be able to administer them and fix problems (like this one.) If you want to know what is causing the core dump, check the Apache error_log, there is usually a message in there. If not, check /var/log/messages. I've been running Apache + PHP for about 3 years now, on every version of FreeBSD since 2.x and *many* versions of Apache and PHP, and I have never had a core dump that I didn't cause. Then again, I never installed from the ports... I don't like the directories the port install uses and I make to many customizations to PHP. By the way, I'm not bashing the ports, I think they are great! There are many programs I use that I install from the ports, however, Apache and PHP are not two of them.
