No, it wasn't in there but I moved it to this section. There is no
difference. I cannot start apache.

Everything is fine here. But I think now that the problem is not with
apache but with php. It does not even matter if I do start or
startssl. In both instances the httpd server dies. The reason I think
it is php-related is that when I issue php -v I get:

PHP 5.2.3 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.2 (cli) (built: Sep 12 2007 08:59:52)
Copyright (c) 1997-2007 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2007 Zend Technologies
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

pkg_info | grep php5
php5-5.2.3_1        PHP Scripting Language (Apache Module and CLI)

I do not really feel like upgrading apache (as suggested by someone
else - thank you by the way) because it is just a home machine on
which I do not need all the greatest and latest.

If there's nothing obvious that comes to your mind I will try posting
it on a php list.

Thank you!
