Hi,

All the suddenly my monitoring service noticed apache was down on my server. And it wont start anymore

I am running CentOS with DirectAdmin

When i type service httpd start i get the following:

Code: 
Starting httpd: WARNING: MaxClients of 400 exceeds ServerLimit value of 256 servers,
 lowering MaxClients to 256.  To increase, please see the ServerLimit
 directive.
Warning: DocumentRoot [/home/evoigt/domains/xxad.nl/public_html/mobile] does not exist
                                                           [FAILED]

The server never had problems before

The log contains:

Code:

I have googled and came up with topics like upgrading 'ulimit' to 2048 but that doesnt fix the problem for me, then i get a segmentation fault when i try to start apache.

Does anyone has a tip?
