Hi there!

I was trying to enable SSL in my webserver, but when I finished and restart apache, all my hosted websites was offline.

I already reverted all changes and restart apache again, but still offline.

Checked the apache logs and:
[Sun Oct 07 03:49:06 2012] [notice] Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.3.14 configured -- resuming normal operations
[Sun Oct 07 03:49:06 2012] [warn] long lost child came home! (pid 11607)
[Sun Oct 07 03:49:07 2012] [warn] long lost child came home! (pid 11606)
[Fri Oct 12 12:18:52 2012] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down

What the last could be? caught SIGTERM, shutting down? Already google it, but with no success.

Thanks.

It's probably just indicating that Apache was shut down by your restart command.

I'd suggest running apache2ctl configtest to see if there is a problem with your configuration.

Returned "Syntax OK", everything seems fine.

Any ideia?

Does apache2ctl restart generate any error messages?

Returns: "httpd not running, trying to start"

I found out the problem. There's something going on with de ssl module. I disabled it (a2dismod ssl) and everything started working again, but when I enable it, everything "shutdown".

But I need it enabled! Any ideas of what is going one?

Thanks in advance =)

Check your apache error log it should tell you what's wrong with the ssl configuration.

Nothing in the logs. No erros/notices/warnings.

Strangely the last time I had this issue, it was a problem with making sure my log directory and log files exist (to match my virtual-sites config).

The whole thing went down (not just one foul site) because I had a log directory with no log files in it.
