Check your httpd error_log and see if it has things like "segmentation fault".
If so, read on how to make a backtrace at "bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Add that backtrace to this report.

Check this manual page:

And especially the part about linking Apache with libpthread.

Yesterday I installed/Compiled Php4.1.0 with Oracle9i on Linux Red Hat 7.2 (kernel 2.4.7-10). All the installation work perfect, however when I connect with oracle database from netscape brower. The brower still popups a error window:

Netscape: Error
The documentation contained on data.
Try again later, or contact the server's administrator.

Check apache error_log:

You may find my php 4.1.0 information from following URL:
http://hermes.campus.uidaho.edu/project/liao.php

If you visit following URL:
http://hermes.campus.uidaho.edu/project/login.php
you can see what happens to php!

If I visited same php scripts  located on another machine with php4.0.4 (complied with oracle8). The same php scripts can access data from my current oracle9iEE database server. It means that my current oracle9i EE server is working well and can communicate with php4.0.4 without any problem.

 
Please give me some suggestion about the error.

If you visit from following URL:
http://kellinux.cs.uidaho.edu/cs461/login.php 
you can find php can access my oracle9i EE database well. The php script on this machine(kellinux.cs.uidaho.edu)  is the same one from previous machine (hermes.campus.uidaho.edu). They both visit the Oracle9i database server on  hermes.campus.uidaho.edu.

Can you generate a backtrace? (http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php)

I followed backtrace report Instructions:
First:    I stop apache server by using following comand under root privilage
#/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl stop
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl stop: httpd stopped

Second Under root privilage run httpd - X under gdb with:

#gdb /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd

(gdb) run -X
Starting program: /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -X
[New Thread 1024 (LWP 1971)]




After that I use web browser and access server to force the crash. I am surprised that I can connect with oracle server well. The only thing is  
the speed for access web is very slow. There is no gdb prompt appear, and 
there is no any message indication that there is a crash.


Following is php script to authorize into oracle:

/************************* Global Vars ******************************/
$user  = "xxxx";
$pswd  = "xxx";
$dbase = "(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = hermes.campus.uidaho.edu)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = oracle.campus.uidaho.edu)
    )
  )"; 


function dbConnect()
{
    global $user, $pswd, $dbase;
    $con = OCILogon($user, $pswd, $dbase);
    
    if( OCIError($con) )
        ErrorAndExit( "Could not create connection to the database." );
    else
        return $con;
}

today I tried installing php4.1.1 on RedHat7.2 with Oracle9i
but it gives an error "unsupported version " . I went through a documentation where in it said that 4.1.1 has all fixups .the is a patch to fix this bug in php4.0.6 too but i donot find any help for php4.1.1 .

can I have any help on this ??
