All,

I should probably be asking this in an Apache or PHP group, but given that the source 
of the issue seems to be so elusive, I can't point the finger at either just yet so 
I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.

I have a fresh FreeBSD 4.9 server running at a co-location facility.  I've twiddled 
the kernel a little for firewalling and removed all of the devices not in use.

Once the install was complete, I cvsup'd the ports tree to cvs release, in order to 
have the more recent builds available and installed PostgreSQL, Apache and PHP4 as I 
usually do.  I then went to work preparing the sites to be transferred to the new 
environment.

The problem is, every now and then, (generally after Apache has been running for about 
an hour, but sometime after only a few minutes,) Apache stops parsing the files as PHP 
and starts serving them unparsed as application/x-httpd-php, which obviously doesn't 
go over well.

When it started to happen, I first blamed my rather sleek httpd.conf, which I use on 
about four other servers as it is... without fault.  So I setup my virtual host 
entries etc in the default httpd.conf and went back to porting the sites.

It happened  again... so I blamed the PHP module, so I rebuilt it again with only the 
default options, minus mysql and plus postgresql.  Same result.  
So I reverted back to the original ports tree which shipped with 4.9 and rebuilt PHP 
again.  Same result.
I then rebuilt Apache from the original 4.9 ports tree and PHP again to match... same 
result.

It's almost like PHP is core dumping somewhere... without warning or notice.  I can't 
seem to get anything special to come out in the logs, even when I run "httpd -e debug 
-X" it happens and doesn't tell me anything.

The most frustrating thing is the lack of knowing where to begin.  Without anything 
returning an error, I'm stumped.  Any suggestions are welcomed!

Thanks in advance,

Mike.

ps... I'd attach my whole httpd.conf and php.ini, but the problem presents itself even 
when I use the stock versions from the ports installations.
