Httpd going down dont know why..

[hitboy]

Hello I am getting this message about one or two times a day from my directadmin panel:


The service 'httpd' on server server.xxxxxx.com is currently down

It seems the httpd goes down for less then 30 seconds and then comes back..

Can anyone tell me what steps I should take in order figure out what the problem is? or is this normal?

I am using my own rented dedicated server thanks!

Check the time it says it goes down in the message. Then go to the Log Viewer and select Apache Error Log. Press the Show Log button and find the entries for the time it went down. That should tell you what made it go down.

I seem to be getting these errors I have no idea what they mean:SSH to the server and run this command:
/sbin/service httpd configtest

It is likely that one of the conf files corrupted, or badly formatted directive(s).

[hitboy]

Thanks for replying did the config test and got this back

[Sat Feb 23 14:42:01 2008] [warn] NameVirtualHost 66.79.185.219:443 has no Virtu alHosts
Syntax OK

Does that mean I need to setup a name virtual host or im kind of confused

[hitboy]

Does anyone know what max users means also?

You might wanna have a look at this:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/misc/perf-tuning.html

Don't forget to backup your configfiles before editing them.
