thank you so much all of you guys, but still we are facing the same problem.
we recompiled new php source, upgraded httpd to 2.2.11 but still getting same backtrace. nothing more. we removed .htaccess rules and tested but no use. can you guys suggest me any other ways of debugging pls? actually i am not a system administration guy. I am a php developer with little knowledge on httpd. But we have system administration group who are working on this problem. just pls check out again the segfault statement that we are getting: httpd[5250]: segfault at 00007fff84114ff8 rip 00002aaab1bd47ac rsp 00007fff84115000 error 6 that bold line is repeating many times randomly on our log file and always it is same on specific server. we have 6 load balanced servers and all are giving the same error randomly. address locations are different from each server but for a specific server it is same always and every day. you guys think any kind of attack thats happening over our systems? actually we do not accept much input from users other than a keyword(for search) which can be an unicode and we have some POST requests which are purely browser generated data(no user data here). im again pasting our gdb backtraces of two different core dumps for reference: > #0 0x000055555557dfee in ap_merge_per_dir_configs () from /usr/sbin/httpd > No symbol table info available. > #1 0x000055555557b121 in ap_directory_walk () from /usr/sbin/httpd > No symbol table info available. > #2 0x00005555555765b9 in ap_is_recursion_limit_exceeded () from > /usr/sbin/httpd > No symbol table info available. > #3 0x0000555555578b42 in ap_run_map_to_storage () from /usr/sbin/httpd > No symbol table info available. > #4 0x0000555555579cbc in ap_process_request_internal () from /usr/sbin/httpd > No symbol table info available. > #5 0x000055555558b668 in ap_process_request () from /usr/sbin/httpd > No symbol table info available. > #6 0x0000555555588900 in ap_register_input_filter () from /usr/sbin/httpd > No symbol table info available. above thing is happening many times say 10 to 15 times a minute(actualy depends on the traffic at that time) > #0 0x00002aaab1c46688 in ZEND_FETCH_DIM_RW_SPEC_VAR_UNUSED_HANDLER ( > execute_data=0x5555714ea6c8) > at /usr/local/src/php/php-5.2.9/Zend/zend_vm_execute.h:13204 > opline = (zend_op *) 0x5555714e8798 > free_op1 = {var = 0x2aaaac1454fd} > #1 0x00005555714e86b8 in ??

Yea, it is. But looking at the libapr-1.so.0 module, agreed that I've misread this :) > @Rathnakar Konda, is it possible that php was compiled against wrong Apache > headers?

I'm not used to seeing bad stack unwinds on unix, most people don't optimize that aggressively. If this is system-httpd, that's fine; if you installed an httpd package, there is likely an httpd-devel package that also includes the debugging symbols you need (unstripped). If not and you've built this, you can simply try -O0, or -g, or for httpd --enable-maintainer-mode, but offhand I can't think of a trivial way to simply avoid -strip, which is what you want for your build when things go wonky in your gdb where output.
