[Tfug] Troubleshooting Apache crashing

[Mark Leinhos]

 I'm really sorry for taking so long to rely to this thread.  I've been busy moving and working.  I really appreciate any clues you have about the services crashing. I have attached three files to this message as requested. One thing that I'm sure someone could fix for me right away is the SSL pass phrase.  We have to enter it at the terminal (can't even do it remotely) whenever we reboot the server, which is annoying to say the least.  How can I update that part of the problem? Thanks again. -Mark L > Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2008 15:51:09 -0700> From: pickell at gmail.com> To: m at mattjacob.com; tfug at tfug.org> Subject: Re: [Tfug] Troubleshooting Apache crashing> > I saw the Holy crap! line and thought along the lines of, Holy Config> files, Batman...> > I can't trouble shoot SSL as I have not had to run an SSL server so> far, but what are the errors in your apache logs (/var/log/apache2/> for example).> > I had a problem where we had the swap setup on a Debian box but it> wasn't being used, so apache would eventually crash on running out of> memory.
