And another issue concerning my mediawiki :)
Our wiki is running on a Debian 3.1 Kernel 2.4.18 (std.), unstable, with mysql-server/-stuff, apache and php4, php-mysql (4.3.2) installed with apt, so this should be installed correctly. It worked for the first few days without any problems, then more and more clicks were ignored by wiki, sometimes it didn't even show the main page. (no hardware problem, we very often changed it because we assumed that maybe RAM is not working correctly)
Error messages are mainly
kalliope mysqld[343]: 070811 17:53: 54 Aborted connection 167 to db: 'wikidb' user: 'wikiuser' host: 'localhost' (Got an error reading communication packets)
[notice] child pid 1071 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
I sometimes got the hint to change register_globals from on to off or the other way around. off= less error messages but still loads of them on= even more :)
So, is there any solution to this?
Best regards! yours thankfully,
Kristina Rothe

A segmentation fault means either a bug in the program (either MySQL or PHP/Apache here, I'm not sure which) or that you're having hardware problems (bad memory, overheating processor, etc).
It's not clear whether the segmentation fault is causing the communications error or if the communications error is causing an error condition that leads to a segmentation fault.
Either way, I'd recommend trying something other than Debian-unstable. Maybe compile current MySQL/PHP/Apache from source just to get different versions in there.
