Apache error log discription

[thewebhosting]

Hello,

I was unable to access my dedicated server for few minutes. I have checked the apache error logs and found below notice:

[notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down

I have tried to search from Google but could not find much information about this error. Can anyone brief me what is the reason for this?

Hi ,

Please note that the error seems that , Apache seems restart, for an unknown reason.

Can you attach the apache error log

tail -50 /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log , will provide the error log

Also provide the result of " ipcs " command from the shell

[root@ ~]# ipcs

Awaiting your reply.

You may need to check further logs..

/var/log/messages
/usr/local/apache/logs/error_log
dmesg

You can use the command below to check on a specific time

# sed -n '/Jul 14 13:/,/Jul 14 15:/p' /var/log/messages (Logs between 1PM - 3PM)
