Apache stops every Monday Morning

Hi

I am not sure why but Apache stops on Mondays, if I try to restart I get

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
[FAILED]

If I reboot it is OK.

I have this on two servers and it has been an ongoing issue.

If the port is still in use, it seems like Apache is not “stopping”, but crashing or freezing for some reason.

You might want to check if Apache processes are still running when the problem occurs (using “ps aux | grep apache” or “ps aux|grep http” depending on distro, or “netstat -tpln | grep :80”). Also check Apache’s logs if there’s any sign of problems.

and maybe look at the cron logs to see what else might be happening at and just before crash time
