Here is my post include editor for apache.

<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
FcgidMinProcessesPerClass 0 
FcgidMaxProcessesPerClass 8 
FcgidMaxProcesses 150 
FcgidIdleTimeout 100 
FcgidProcessLifeTime 120 
FcgidIdleScanInterval 30
FcgidMaxRequestLen 1073741824
FcgidProcessLifeTime 8200
FcgidIOTimeout 8200
FcgidConnectTimeout 300
</IfModule>

Any ideas, what would be causing apache to restart.

Hello

The following thread should be helpful to you:

Apache - Graceful Restarts

Thank you.

Turns out it is restarting only at like 11:30 but it is doing it twice each night.

I am using a FCGI not Mod_ruid2. Sorry if i dont see the connection

Have you already enabled Piped Logging on this server?

"WHM Home » Service Configuration » Apache Configuration » Piped Log Configuration"

This will stop the automatic graceful restart of Apache from occurring every two hours.

Thank you.
