Question

I was trying to update from php 5.2 to php 5.3. Basically what I did is I download the php 5.3 Package from entropy.ch and ran the package. Everything installed successfully. Now, when I try to run local pages. For those that are calling mysql queries, I get blank pages as a result.

Looking at the apache2 error logs, I see the following:

[notice] child pid 44038 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

Is my understanding that segmentation fault means that I don’t have the proper modules.

Answer 1

MacPorts is your best option (IMO) when you want a MAMP setup, there’s a pretty comprehensive setup guide that you can check out here:

Only problem you may encounter when setting up is the MySQL socket which needs to be set in your php.ini file

Goodluck!!
