PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

eaccelerator was causing it to core dump, so I put a php.ini file with the extension commented out in your directory.

here is the

here is the log:

67.83.70.143 - - [18/Feb/2009:20:54:09 -0500] "GET /age_check/phpinfo.html HTTP/1.1" 200 70032 "http://decibelplaces.com/age_check/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009011913 Firefox/3.0.1;MEGAUPLOAD 1.0 FlyPaper/RC1 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)"

I received notice this morning that the issue was escalated to Level 3 - but it is "Low Priority" because I do not need this functionality on this server now.

So the page completes

So the page completes successfully, with HTTP 200, etc, is logged in apache, sent to the client, and then core dumps?!

well, I removed the age

well, I removed the age check files and uploaded a basic html file with the phpinfo() function embedded - and viewing this page, which displays phpinfo, also causes a core dump

http://decibelplaces.com/age_check/phpinfo.html

<html>
 <head>
  <title> phpinfo() html </title>
 </head>
 <body>
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
 </body>
</html>

.htaccess

# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory is requested.

Options All
DirectoryIndex index.htm index.html index.php

AddHandler php5-fastcgi .htm .html
Action php5-fastcgi /cgi-bin/php5.fcgi

#RewriteEngine on
#RewriteRule ^/?$ /index.htm [L] 

here is the php5.fcgi

#!/bin/sh
export PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=1
export PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS=10
exec /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/php5

it appears to be this file

it appears to be this file triggering it, without any of the additional processing.

when the cookie and session are not set, then an html page with some JavaScript is displayed...

the only other PHP code is this page that sets the dookie and session var if the birthdate validates, but this code is not even running at all, just the one line above...

might be related, how important is it to start (and stop?) the session? I want to use a session in case cookies are disabled.

heh - I just noticed I am using POST and REQUEST for the same value, odd butt should not matter.

<?php

//set redirect page URL
$page = "index.htm";

//init session false
$_SESSION['age']=false;
//get the hidden field from form to thwart bots
$check = $_POST['testform']? $_REQUEST['testform']:"";

//if form submitted, not a bot
if ($check == "cmscver0102"){
  //set session var
  $_SESSION['age']=true;
  //expire cookie in 12 months
  $expire=time()+(60*60*24*30*12);
  setcookie("age", "yes", $expire);
  header("Location: $page");
}

//else hello Mickey!
else header("Location: <a href="http://disney.com"" title="http://disney.com"">http://disney.com"</a>);
?>

Core dumps usually happen

pr0gr4mm3r — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 04:42:51 +0000

Core dumps usually happen when there is a segmentation fault which is caused by a program trying to access memory outside their allocated addresses. This can be caused by trying to read/write from a file pointer reference when that file failed to open or something. Does running your page case a core dump every time?...and are you sure this is the page that is causing it?
