OK, here it is: <?php $link = mysql_connect("localhost", "test", "test") or die ("could not connect"); echo "Hello World\n"; mysql_select_db("test", $link); var_dump($link); ?> When run from the command line, it connects to the db, prints the ubiquitous "Hello World", and dumps the info on the $link resource. However, when run through apache, it segfaults at the mysql_connect call (it never gets to print "Hello World"). Obviously, that's a test account in the mysql connection above, but I've tried it with real, privileged accounts and gotten the same behavior. Argh. Mark
