Segmentation Fault

    I originally was having a segmentation fault (in the Apache log) when trying to get to the third installation step. I looked at the code and decided to complete installation by hand.
    Now, when trying to access the login page, I get a segmentation fault. I’ve tried WordPress on both the latest version of PHP4 and Release Candidate 3 of PHP5. The problem seems to occur on both.
    I’ve tried searching for this problem online and the only lead I can find is something related to EXPAT and XSLT transformations. I don’t know whether WordPress is doing anything with either of these, but if there is anyone here who can provide assistance, I’d appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    Leonard

    Well, I may have figured out the solution to the problem. It seems that my siteurl option value was set incorrectly. The installation page isn’t very clear about what I am supposed to put for that field. I installed WP in a sub-directory, but it asked for my site URL, so I didn’t enter the sub-directory in the URL. When I reset the siteurl to include the sub-directory, everything works fine.
    That is quite an error for such a simple mistake. My suggestion is to make the directions on the installation page a little more clear as to what should be put in that field. It will likely save a lot of people a lot of trouble.

    There are bugs in the initial releases of PHP 5 that cause this. There’s really nothing we can do. Newer versions of PHP 5 fix this.

    Since this post appears first on Google search, I thought posting it here would help others with the same problem.
