Hi DriftingDarkBlueLobster,

Hi there,

I could suggest following the steps from this tutorial here on how to troubleshoot common Apache problems:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/how-to-troubleshoot-common-apache-issues-on-linux-server

Feel free to then share the output of the commands listed in that tutorial.

The main thing that I would recommend is checking the Apache logs for more information on why it might be crashing.

Let me know how it goes!

Best,

Bobby

Hi @DriftingDarkBlueLobster,

Check your Apache Error log. It should provide you with the reason behind the failings.

It’s possible it’s a corrupt/misconfigured Apache2 config file or the more obvious reason and almost always the one, high load. It’s possible someone is DDOSing your Apps and thus bringing Apache down. If that’s the case, I’ll suggest using some CDN like Cloudflare, most of them come with DDOS protection which is great.
