Hey mates,

I have a problem with my httpd service, aka apache(v: 1.3)

anyway, it seems that every night about 03:00am the httpd service is crashed, though you can see it's process when writing ps -aux (in ssh console)

And untill I use service httpd restart, it won't be fixed.

I have looked up at error_log and found up this kind of messageS:

[Tue Sep 18 00:11:03 2007] [warn] child process 18667 did not exit, sending another SIGHUP
[Tue Sep 18 00:11:03 2007] [warn] child process 26158 did not exit, sending another SIGHUP

Any 3rd party extensions? eAccelerator, APC, xCache?

Try to disable eAccelerator. Then restart apache.

Also Try .....

Hey Guys -

I had this error this morning - and wanted to add another thing to try. I got this error after upgrading php (php4 to php5) on a clients server. I forgot to go back into the httpd.conf and remove the references to loading php4 and mod_php4.c

After changing these up - apache came back to life.

If anyone has the same issue while doing a php upgrade, this is probably it.
