 * I have been having issues with Apache segfaulting with latest version of WordPress
   
   Getting this in the error log, causing all of my sites go down.
 *  [core:notice] [pid 10718] AH00052: child pid 11887 exit signal Segmentation 
   fault (11)
 * These happen usually immediately after logging into wp-admin but not always.
 * I have disabled almost all plugins, leaving only few enabled.
    Interestingly 
   W3 Total Cache causes immediate Segmentation fault and crash.
 * I would really love to know how to improve this situation.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwordpress-causes-apache-segfault%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * segmentation fault is sofware level (apache level) error, no scripts (WordPress
   or others) should be able to do that.
 * Sometimes this can happen due to faulty server memory.
 * You have to debug this issue on Apache level, not on WordPress level,
    good way
   to start is to – enable core dumps for apache – get stack trace from core dump
   using GDB – report bug to Apache developers

 * Did you manage to fix the segmentation fault [@yaschangmailcom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yaschangmailcom/)?
   I experience the same at my local development machine and it appears to be related
   to my .htaccess file. Any thoughts?
