    Unhappy Apache: Graceful restart requested, doing restart

    Hi.

    Using Apache/2.0.52 (Fedora), it often crashes suddenly and I must restart
    it.

    I've found this error message on a previous '/var/log/httpd/error_log.2':
    ------------
    [Sat Oct 08 02:01:57 2005] [notice] Graceful restart requested, doing
    restart
    [Sat Oct 08 02:02:00 2005] [notice] Digest: generating secret for
    digest authentication ...

    [Sat Oct 08 02:02:01 2005] [notice] Apache/2.0.52 (Fedora) configured
    -- resuming normal operations
    --------------

    What's the meaning of this messages? I DID NOT restart my Apache server
    at 02:00h in the night. :?

    In addition, on my '/var/log/boot.log' I don't find any 'httpd shutdown succeeded' or 'httpd startup succeeded' message at that moment in the night.

    The only clue I've found is that everyday, at 02:00h, a shell-script is run in order to backup DBs and
    some files of the server. On Saturday, it ended at 02:01:47, 10 seconds before the incident.

    Any suggestion? Thank you very much.

    I've noticed that
    ----------------
    [Sat Oct 08 02:01:57 2005] [notice] Graceful restart requested, doing
    restart
    ---------------
    was the last line of '/var/log/httpd/error_log.2'

    So this issue may be due to 'logrotate'. But why was my server stopped for 6 hours til I started it
    manually at 08:30h?

    It's not exactly the most stable release right now. I'd recommend you roll-back to a more stable release.
