Apache crash every Sunday

[king0190]

Hello ,

My Apache crash every Sunday morning arround between 3:50 am and 4:00 am.
On this time no cronjob is running.
I use CentOS 6.5.

When i want to restart Apache i get the message:

Starting httpd: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs


It looks like that apache want to backup the old log file and create a new one.
After a server restart all works fine. I have this problem now since 1 month.

Anyone have a idea?

thanks,
king0190

Look into the access log for any clue.

Due to the blocked port, i think that Apache is still running, but "hanging". Your description is rather poor, what do you mean by "crashing"? Try to run a "ps -fe" as root and look for httpd or apache process (if it has ended or if it is still there).

yes the apache process is still running, but its not possible to connect anymore.

I cannot help you about that, look into the access log, into the error log and finally find out, if a tool like logrotate is activated and is involved.

It may also be an issue of one of your installed scripts, i do not know anything about your server.
