Re: [CentOS] mod_whatkilledus on Centos 5

 I'm getting those generic segmentation faults on a Centos 5 htpd 
 2.2.3-11  webserver. So far, I've not been able to track down what might 
 be close to  causing this. I've read about mod_whatkilledus, but don't 
 know if I can  install this in any way on my server or if it's still even 
 valid.
 Has  anyone used this? How was it installed, if so? I don't really want 
 to start  messing with configuring httpd, so I'd like to keep this simple 
 and  RPM-based if at all possible.

But I guess you would need and apache compiled with debuging symbols...

If your Apache doesn't have any non-stock modules installed, I would 
look for a hardware fault first. Start with memtest86+. If you *do* have 
non-stock modules installed - look at them. I've run Apache for more 
than a decade and seg faults are very rare unless you have flaky 
hardware or are using unsupported modules.
