Apache Auto Restart Every Day/Minute

[arkain]

Hi guys,

Plesae rescue me, my apache restarts atleast 20-30 times a day, and this is getting old. I seriously need to tip help fixing this.

any idea, please post here.

Try looking in the Apache logs to see what is listed before it restarts.

[arkain]

can you point me where the apache is correctly located?

/usr/local/apache/logs/

There's a few files in there, which one should I look at?

Paste an output of your "top" usage when you feel Apache will restart again. You need to find out what that child processes are, and then if it is something like mysql, maybe re-install mysql.
