Hello all,
I have spent today trying to set up MediaWiki 1.4.10 on my system. I have tried multiple versions and I've been digging through logs and single stepping code trying to find the break. I have seen a few other posts with problems similar to mine. Usually the solution was to upgrade, but the threads I found never continued past that. Hopefully someone can help me out here.
My server runs the following: Linux 2.6 Apache 2.0.54 PHP 4.4.0 MySQL 4.1.11
The Mysql bindings in PHP work fine. I have another PHP+Mysql site that is working fine.
After untarring the mediawiki source, I proceed with the installation steps. I fill out the form and click Install and it succeeds. Check the database and it's created the database, tables, and user accounts. I move LocalSettings.php in place and then click the link to move to the main wiki page. At this point, nothing happens. The browser churns for a bit waiting for a response, then stops. The only thing I can get from the logs that seem remotely useful is:
[Tue Sep 27 15:49:41 2005] [notice] child pid 20206 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Tue Sep 27 15:52:53 2005] [notice] child pid 20048 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Tue Sep 27 15:52:53 2005] [notice] child pid 20262 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Tue Sep 27 16:09:16 2005] [notice] child pid 20055 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Tue Sep 27 16:09:16 2005] [notice] child pid 20735 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
If anyone has any ideas, please speak up. I've done all of the debugging and research I can and am met with no answers.
Thanks,

PHP or Apache is crashing.
Try reinstalling PHP/Apache, or check or remove various PHP plugins and see what happens. Debug it in gdb if you know how, and report the bug to the maintainers of the affected program.
Check also for hardware errors such as bad memory.
