Howdy. I'm getting a weird problem with Apache on a RHEL2.1 box I have. It does on the _second_ HUP or USR1 signal it receives. So ever two days logrotate kills it.
It seems to be dying when PHP reloads for the second time. Anyone have any useful ideas on how to track this problem down more precisely?
We had similar problems with apache (1.3.27) and php (4.1.2) on hoiho.wlug.org.nz - I suspect a php bug personally. Sometimes it wouldn't start again on log rotation in the morning. Since modifying the logrotate to do a complete restart (stop/start) instead of a reload (SIGHUP) we haven't had this problem occur again. I suspect using a newer version of php would fix it, but that isn't really an option for people using debian woody or rhel.... John
