PHP not working

[pglock]

I'm hosting a community website on a CentOS 5.5 x86_64 server. PHP is not working. Any attempt to access any php file on the main account gives a '500 Internal Server Error' and generates the following error log entry:

/usr/bin/php: error while loading shared libraries: librt.so.1: failed to map segment from shared object: Cannot allocate memory

I've tried:

1. Rebuilding apache and php with easyapache
2. Updated cpanel
3. reinstalled glibc (which contains librt)
4. created a new cpanel account and installed a clean version of wordpress. Install fails with same errors as above.

Any troubleshooting steps I can take?

Hello,

It seems your glibc got corrupted, So 99% things won't work in your server . As a final way try to download the glibc rp from centos repo and install it ( chance it won't work ).

Then proceed with OS reload .

/usr/bin/php: error while loading shared libraries: librt.so.1: failed to map segment from shared object: Cannot allocate memory

This error code right there says it all.
The system has no problem finding the libraries. What the problem is, however, is very, very clearly stated in that error message.

Cannot allocate memory

It would appear you've got no free memory on the server (or vps, etc). Try this:

free -m

from inside the shell. this should tell you what you've got to work with. If you post the output of that here, you might get somewhere.

Also, if you're losing memory like this, you want to try to free it up, either by rebooting, or finding out what the process that's eating your memory up is.

I'd recommend investigation before rebooting. When you run the 'free -m' also run a 'top', and use 'shift+M' to sort the process list by memory use. If you are hosting with a managed provider, you can also ask them to help you track it down.

an update:

Thanks for all the advice. 'top' shows plenty of free memory so I looked for other things to help diagnose the problem.

I can get php running by configuring it as a DSO, not through suPHP so I guess there is some problem with suPHP. I have checked permissions, all look ok. Any other ideas?
