RE: PHP/Oracle Silent Apache Crash

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem. Did you solved it yet?
I've tried to compile with this LDFLAGS="-lpthread", but this does'n 
work for me.
Apache keeps silently crashing.

I use dirty trick:
1. Comment out
Loadmodule php4_module
Addmodule mod_php4.c
from http.conf.
2. Start httpd (apachectl startssl).
3. Uncomment them again and restart httpd (apachectl restart).
