Apache2 server is down - AH00170

I have been having problems for several weeks on my Apache2 server with Ubuntu 22.04.1 + PHP 7.4

For no apparent reason, the server goes down on its own and the web is still under construction so it does not receive traffic.

The last log I got before the server crashed contains these lines:

[Fri Mar 03 10:42:44.687695 2023] [mpm_prefork:notice] [pid 756] AH00163: Apache/2.4.52 (Ubuntu) OpenSSL/3.0.2 configured -- resuming normal operations

[Fri Mar 03 21:08:02.583634 2023] [mpm_prefork:notice] [pid 756] AH00170: caught SIGWINCH, shutting down gracefully

I would be very grateful if someone could help me please,

Regards.

-I have tried to restart the server several times, it works again but when the server considers it appropriate, it crashes again. -I have tried to look for my problem in stackoverflow but what I find that is related does not work for me.

Apart from that I'd start by increasing log verbosity.

I’m voting to close this question because it is crossposted: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75652485/apache2-server-is-down-ah00170

@RomeoNinov It makes more sense to close the stackoverflow one than this one because this question is more appropriate for serverfault.

@ghbarratt, serverfault is for managing information technology systems in a **business environment**

os: ubuntu 16/20/22

apache2 ver: 2.4.x

php: 5.6/7.0/7.2

This might not be it... but it happened to a few of my (multiple) servers. i SUSPECT that what happened was that when the logrotate functions calls for apache to 'reload' it issues the call but fails. this problem happens intermittently.

-sometimes apache would start and serve only static html pages (not php)

-sometimes it would not start at all (apache at port 443 stopped)

usually a 'systemctl restart apache2' would fix it.

so i thought maybe i had to change the 'reload' call in /etc/logrotate.d/apache2, and change the line

invoke-rc.d apache2 reload > /dev/null 2>&1;

into

invoke-rc.d apache2 restart > /dev/null 2>&1;

then again, its just a suggestion, it might not solve it.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
