Asked by Vincent Gross
I’ve setup a server with LAMP stack on ubuntu 14.04 but Apache keep crashing randomly.
I’ve followed this tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-optimize-apache-web-server-performance
The Apache error log shows:
AH00484: server reached MaxRequestWorkers setting, consider raising the MaxRequestWorkers setting
and multiple:
AH00045: child process 12845 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM
before the crash. I’ve many websites in production on this server and I really want to fix it as soon as I can (that will save my nights) :-)
Is anyone has the same issue or can help me?
Thanks a lot

Yes,
I have raised this number for instance and I have less crash at the moment. But it’s a quick fix and I don’t really like this. If you find a better solution please let me know. :-)
I am having exactly the same issue and error message
Hi Woet,
I prefer understand first if this issue come from a bad configuration or if it’s a normal issue regarding our traffic. Once I’m clear with that. I will do the appropriate action on this server.
