Graham -my understanding of RH apache  is  modules have to   explicitly 
loaded  in httpd.con file.  I check all the snippet  files  and  no  
php  shared object file is being loaded.  I noticed before that did not 
seem to have any mod_authz_ldap shared object loaded in my configuration 
file. Do I need to set things up like i am doing authorization and 
authentication thru apache?  Is possible that needs to be included?

Also, I went thru some of the troubleshooting steps. I ran my web code 
to reproduce the seg fault and then gbc to attach the process id.  I got 
the following before getting really lost here. Any suggestions here 
would greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Wayne
