Hi.

If I try to edit a menu item using the menu editor, when I click the submit menu I get a blank screen. It happens just about every time.

On further inspection, I see apache has segfaulted. This is reproducible, and probably a php4 bug. I filled a bug report (with stack trace) at

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php4/+bug/96813

[Mon Apr 02 10:47:20 2007] [notice] child pid 4043 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Mon Apr 02 10:47:20 2007] [notice] child pid 4293 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I am going to get any response.

We are also reluctant to upgrade to php5, because (a) I am not convinced this will solve the problem and (b) this website contains historic php code that might break under php5.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Component: drupal.module » locale.module

Hi!

We have exactly the same thing too.
That is our configuration:
Drupal 5.1
PHP 4.4.4
MySQL 4.1.21
GD bundled (2.0.28 compatible)
Unicode, Mbstring
Apache/1.3.37 (Unix) PHP/4.4.4 mod_ssl/2.8.28 OpenSSL/0.9.7e
FreeBSD.
In addition to core package ldap integration package was installed. But error is repeated irrespectively of LDAP on/off.

I am also afraid that several other older apps will not work as is with php5. Some of them should (like Joomla) but old sites written years ago may not (with or without LDAP).

Oops, Locale module was also installed with Russian language.
Just now I have made it off and everything is fine.

But whats wrong with locale now? I don't have any ideas.

This is related to menu module, right (if at all related to Drupal)? Not locale module!?

For me the problem appears to be entirely with the menu module. However there are a number of work arounds. These work arounds make no sense to me.

  • Insert a print statement at the top of index.php - this creates other errors but at least the save operation works.
  • Disable the locales module.

Thanks baturin for the suggestion to disable locales, I would never have thought of doing that otherwise - locales seem to be working fine.

err. In that last sentence I meant to say "locales always seemed to work fine despite the fact menu editing was broken."

Sorry for any confusion caused.
