Apache keeps going down

[yoshikiwei]

my httpd keeps going down every other day, I noticed the time when it fails to start is at around 12.20am or 12.30am

I know directadmin cron job running during this time will restart apache. But very often, the restart would not work.

1) which and where is this cron job located?
2) is it critically necessary to restart apache?
3) I am now running another cron to restart httpd manually but this is only a temporary measure I reckoned, any recommendations on what I should be doing?

Any reply will be much appreciated. THanks

1. That depends on your operating system. Usually its /etc/crontab

2. Yes, well at least the way DirectAdmin runs the tally.

3. Contact DirectAdmin about the problem

Can you stop and start apache through DirectAdmin from the Services page?
