[users@httpd] apache crash

[Kailash Vyas <ka...@gmail.com>]

hi all,

I am facing a strange problem with the apache 1.3.33 webserver. It seems to 
be crashing once in a while.
i checked out the logs and couldn't find the exact reason. Any way I can 
trace the possible reasons for the crash.

error

Nothing previous that line? What's in the access_log around the same
time? Anything in other log files (not necessarily apache-related)?

With so few info is impossible to pinpoint a cause.

Did you considered upgrading to a newer version of Apache?
