Hey list, For the past few days I have been having terrible problems with my Apache 2 server. Problem: Apache dies unexpected and out of the blue. e.g. I came to work this (monday) morning, and found my webserver died about half an hour before I even got into the office. Every so often (seemingly random times...) therewill be entries in the error_log saying: [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down [notice] Apache/2.0.54 (Unix) PHP/4.3.11 configured -- resuming normal operations Up until the point it dies (just said "caugh SIGTERM' nothing else), this is what keeps happening. So I changed the LogLevel to debug, and have been monitoring it closely today, and the only thing I see just before the server dies is a "removed PID file" message. If anyone can help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated, as my only option will be to wipe apache and start with a fresh server (not very keen on doing that...). Please find some extra info below....

This has been happening for almost 4 or 5 days now, and for no apparent reason. If you wish to email me directly at aussiejohn[at]gmail[dot]com feel free to.
