When I am dealing with Apache issues I execute "apachectl status".

Here is an example of the output:
ash-3.00# ./apachectl status

                      Apache Server Status for localhost

   Server Version: Apache/2
   Server Built: Feb 14 2008 00:53:14
     _________________________________________________________________

   Current Time: Wednesday, 11-Mar-2009 11:19:24 EDT
   Restart Time: Wednesday, 11-Mar-2009 00:14:05 EDT
   Parent Server Generation: 0
   Server uptime: 11 hours 5 minutes 18 seconds
   Total accesses: 722 - Total Traffic: 8.1 MB
   CPU Usage: u2.68 s1.13 cu.91 cs0 - .0118% CPU load
   .0181 requests/sec - 211 B/second - 11.4 kB/request
   1 requests currently being processed, 14 idle workers

W_________._____................................................
................................................................

   Scoreboard Key:
   "_" Waiting for Connection, "S" Starting up, "R" Reading Request,
   "W" Sending Reply, "K" Keepalive (read), "D" DNS Lookup,
   "C" Closing connection, "L" Logging, "G" Gracefully finishing,
   "I" Idle cleanup of worker, "." Open slot with no current process


So you can see what is going if it restarted on its own in addition to what it is currently processing.  (apachectl is usually in /usr/sbin).  In addition to syslog if Apache is just faulting I would check "error_log" (usually located in "/var/log/httpd").

Hope this helps.

Subject: [nycphp-talk] Apache is killing me.

I am having an intermittent issue where Apache just craps out.  It
seems to happen in the middle of the night for no reason.  It crapped
out twice in December, and again last night.  I have no idea what the
issue is.  There is nothing in the error log.  Restarting apache fixes
the problem.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Regards,
John Campbell
