on WinNT with PHP4.06 and phpMyAdmin2.2.0 when PHP is loaded as a module into Apache server. Apache would crash whenever MySQL returned 0 rows. The conversation was transfered here at the advice of Loïc (---.u-paris10.fr). The suggestion was to: 1) "ensure the "zlib.output_buffering" directive is set to off in your php config file." The variable output_buffering WAS ALREADY set to OFF in the php config file. 2) "Could you try to reproduce your crashes with $cfgOBGzip set to FALSE in the phpMyAdmin configuration file?" Changing $cfgOBGzip to FALSE (from TRUE) in the phpMyAdmin config file was SUCESSFUL (yippee!) in preventing the above described Apache crashes. I have not done any extensive testing, but it does seem to fix my original complaint. Thanks very much Loic. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
