Checklist

1) Source code installations of extensions, like Ioncube loader, or other extensions that have to be updated. Ive created php-ioncube-loader, php-zend-optimizer, and php-eaccelerator packages to fix this for you automatically.

2) php.ini settings, like memory_limit

3) execstack -c on any extensions that claim to need an executible stack (ASL users only).
