Apache sometime stop.... server inoperative

[Spheerys]

Hello,

For the second time in 3 weeks, I have found Apache2 stopped, without any intervention.

This time, I had the good idea to look in the error.log file :

Code:

I just have restart Apache and the server reload...

What's wrong ?

[joximu]

what did happen on 1:05:55 ?

best you check as many log files as possible...

/J

[Spheerys]

Which log should I see ?

[joximu]

everything in /var/log from today...

I wonder what caused the shutdown of apache.
was it a cron job (logrotate with service reload which did not succeed?) or a faulty web page somewhere?

Do you have errors in your /etc/log/apache/error.log for the same period of time?
