Have you any special php5 modules loaded. I had a problem with I want to recall 
three or more extensions that would cause apache2X to dump core or halt in doing 
any further actions upon request.

If the above is the case you can disable some or all of your php5-extensions in 
local/etc/php/extensions.ini to test it out.

Best of luck.
