Our apache http server is crashing once a week. Below is a piece of my error_log file:

[Fri Mar 13 12:20:02 1998] connect: 206.64.127.141 port 80: Connection refused

local/apache
[Fri Mar 13 14:03:34 1998] [error] server seems busy, spawning 4 children (you may need to
increase StartServers, or Min/MaxSpareServers)


I'm not sure if the above error are causing the crashes. Stopping and starting the daemons
cures the problem for a week. Any help would be extremely helpful.

Many thanx in advance
