[php-maint] Bug#613496: libapache2-mod-php5: read() from pipe failed (0) the PM is shutting down, Apache seems to have disappeared

[Marc J. Driftmeyer]

Package: libapache2-mod-php5
Version: 5.3.3-7
Severity: important


Enabling the php5 mod in Apache 2.2 via a2enmod php5 and subsequent restart of the server crashes the server.

Output:

[Tue Feb 15 00:32:01 2011] [notice] FastCGI: process manager initialized (pid 3219)

Disabling the php5 module and restarting Apache2.2 resumes access to the server.

Unfortunately, this completely hoses PHP5 development.
