We performed a basic compile on the PHP module:

  ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \
    --with-mysql --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl
  make 
  make install

Compile and install worked successfully, reporting no errors.  However, when we updated our httpsd.conf file to include support for the .php extension (and ensured that the LoadModule statement was correct), Apache/SSL failed to start, and reported no errors in the log files (nor were there any when running direct from the command line).  The only item in the log file stated that the gcache engine had started, though it subsequently died when Apache failed to start.

We have looked through the bug list, and have been unabled to find a specific bug that looks like ours (though that may be our own blindness -- if so, we apologize).  Aside from one error relating to threads (our Apache and PHP compiles both included thread support), we saw nothing.

Does anyone have any idea as to the cause of this problem?  Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I ran into this exact problem last night while trying to upgrade one of my servers.  Still not sure exactly what caused it, but the crash didn't occur for me unless Apache had SSL support (apache-ssl) enabled.  Perhaps this is caused by a SSL library conflict?  I encountered this problem on RedHat 7.1, and RedHat likes to install it's own (old) version of OpenSSL.  I haven't had enough time to tinker too much, especially since it's a production server.  However, I do have one machine with this setup working, but that is RedHat 7.3.

Anyway, the setup that doesn't work for me on RedHat 7.1 is:

OpenSSL 0.9.6g
Apache 1.3.26 + Apache-SSL 1.48
PHP 4.2.3

All are source distributions, and were downloaded fresh last night.

I might be mistaken..but I think I had same issue myself
once and got it fixed by making sure httpd was linked with 
libpthread..can you check if your httpd is linked with it:

ldd /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd

Yes, it was compiled with the libpthread library.  Just for a little further info, recompiling Apache WITHOUT SSL works fine ...  We're going to try the 4.2.2 PHP compile and see if that works ...

Compiling v4.2.2 as a .so file also failed.  Out of curiosity, is there possibly a problem with our compiler version (gcc 2.95.3)?

Maybe you should try mod_ssl and compile it as DSO.
I'm using that and it has always worked fine.

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip

And make sure you're linking both apache and php with SAME openssl libs. Best way to make sure you're doing that is to remove all libssl.* and libcrypto.* files from your system
and the header files and reinstall openssl.
