Sounds like more of a LAMP problem than a b2evo problem. Or do you have other php/mysql apps running fine? Do you have the apache mods installed for php and mysql? And isn't there some extension to php or mysql that makes them able to talk to each other? Check the LAMP setup guides for your distro.

The LAMP-Installation is ok (or at least I think so ;) ). There are about 15 domains stored on that server, almost all of them use php/mysql. And all of them are working fine (no other segfaults reported in the apache-error-log).

Just to be sure, there's no problem with my webserver, here are the configure-commands I used to compile the installed LAMP-components:

MySQL
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --localstatedir=/var/lib/mysql --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-assembler --with-mysqld-user=meieskjuel --with-openssl

HTTPd
$ ./configure --localstatedir=/var/log/httpd --datadir=/var/www --sysconfdir=/etc/httpd --enable-mods-shared=most --enable-mime-magic --enable-deflate --enable-ssl

PHP
$ ./configure  --sysconfdir=/etc --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-config-file-path=/etc --with-openssl --with-zlib --enable-bcmath --enable-calendar --with-dba --with-dom --enable-exif --enable-ftp --with-gd --with-imap --with-mcrypt --with-mime-magic --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-cyrus=/usr/local --with-gettext --with-xml --with-kerberos --with-mcal=/usr --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib --with-imap-ssl

I've got no (remarkable) warnings or errors during compilation.

This combination is running on a debian-box (sarge) with a custom-made kernel (2.6.8).

I tried playing with some apache-parameters for that domain (turned on/off php_admin_flags for register_globals, safe_mode, ...), tried other 'useful' things but nothing changed at all.

I love this kind of christmas-challenge :'(

Have you tried redownloading b2evo? Maybe one of the files got lost. You could also try another version, just as a test. Or another SF mirror.

I've got it B)

After upgrading to mysql 4.1 I had forgotten to delete the obsolete libmysqlclient.so.12.

The configure-script of php then used the old libs instead of libmysqlclient.so.14.

After deleting the old libs and recompiling php I now have a working www-environment.
