<?php endfor ?>

I've followed the tutorial exactly as it says, I'm on day 7 (http://www.symfony-project.org/jobeet/1_4/Doctrine/en/07) at the Job Category Module Creation then Update Database.

I'm really not sure what could be causing this.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Answer 1

Segmentation faults are usually either incorrect opcode caches or broken modules. I'd disable opcode caches like apc first, and if the problem still persists, keep disabling php-modules on at a time to determine which one gives you problems.

If even that doesn't work, try to upgrade php (5.2.13 or 5.3.2 are considered stable), and report a bug in to bugs.php.net if the problem persist with a minimum use case.

For arguments sake, I would like to share the way I resolved a similar error.

I had issues in a fixtures logic I was reviewing that would return the same code: Segmentation fault

Basically, the same var was overwritten in a loop after being declared and passed as arguments in methods, yeah I know, what a ride :)

So by defining other vars and properly reassigning them around, the error completely vanished...

Hope that helps someone else reaching this page like i did!

Concerning your case, if the other answer was not resolving it, you may want to try and correct your code in the template part by adding a ; after the endfor closing directive.

When this happens to me when working on symfony project, first I check logs, but not always can found the solution. If not, I run some symfony command from the project I am working on that I have programmed to see if some described error is shown in console.

I also check last changes I've done and try to rollback parts of code.

Last time It happened to my was because of an incorrect parameter in a yml file, just a "parent" class.

Hope it helps to think about how to think about the problem.
