Topic: Apache 2.2 unexpectedly shutting down

[slaterino]

Hi,
I had a perfect working local server with Windows, Apache, PHP and MySQL. I recently wanted to upgrade and have been having problems ever since. The main problem I now have is that whenever I load up a page with a MySQL connection, the page will load for about 5 seconds before I get a message stating Apache has unexpectedly shutdown. A blank page will then load up.

I have these installed:

 - Windows XP
 - Apache 2.2
 - PHP 5.2.9-2
 - MySQL 5.1.34

There are no error messages in my log files for this. This is everything that exists for the last instance in which it shutdown:

What could be causing this? Is there anything I can try out?

Thanks

Seems like a problem with Zend.  You may have better luck on the Zend forums.  Moving to "Application Frameworks".

You do realise that zend is the name of php's core?

Hey, I thinked it!

I had read somewhere about copying the libmysql.dll into the 'bin' directory of my Apache install, or something similar to this. But anyway, I was looking through my directories to see if there was anything superfluous and saw this file was still there and so deleted it. And hey presto, it now works fine! I have no idea how these things work sometimes!

Thanks for the suggestions though
