Hi Forum,

I have battled with my Apache installation hanging every few days. The strange thing is that when it is running fine and accepting connections, the following command is keeping it up:

root 1727 12.6 1.3 26804 13852 ? Ss 09:43 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start -DSSL
apache 1729 0.0 1.2 26940 12596 ? S 09:43 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start -DSSL
apache 1730 16.5 1.7 33256 17424 ? S 09:43 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start -DSSL
apache 1731 0.0 1.1 26804 12132 ? S 09:43 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start -DSSL
apache 1732 0.0 1.1 26804 12128 ? S 09:43 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start -DSSL
apache 1733 0.0 1.1 26804 12128 ? S 09:43 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start -DSSL
apache 1736 0.0 1.1 26804 12128 ? S 09:43 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start -DSSL

However, when Apache freezes after the /usr/sbin/httpd I have 8 to 10 processes ending the the flag:

-m jkt
-m j1
-m j2
-m j3
-m j4
-m l1
etc etc???

These processes then need to be manually killed one by one with a -9 flag.

It is just very strange and I didn't know whereelse to turn. I thought this forum might be best since I don't want to disrupt my DA installation.

Kind Regards and thank you in advance for your help guys.

Here is another strange thing:

/usr/local/apache/bin doesnt exist on my server, so how can httpd be running from there???

I think perhaps my server has been compromised. Does anyone know where I should start looking, any help would be MUCH appreciated
