Many httpd processes + hang every evening 22.00h

[haringsrob]

Hi,

Recently i noticed my httpd processes start increasing to the limit and then the server hangs.

This happens every evening around the same time.

Can you guys point me in the direction to start troubleshooting? All the logs in directadmin seem good at that point.

Here is some information about the server:

Centos 6.0
PHP Version 5.5.6
This program makes use of the Zend Scripting Language Engine:
Zend Engine v2.5.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2013 Zend Technologies
with Zend OPcache v7.0.3-dev, Copyright (c) 1999-2013, by Zend Technologies
Processor Name Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz
Total Memory 3089904 kB
Server API Apache 2.0 Handler

should run with prefork mpm
startservers= 5
minspare 5
maxspare 10
serverlimit 50
maxclients 50
maxreq/child 10000

thanks in advance!
