Use "monit" when Cloudflare gives timeout connection or site down, to reset apache2 service.

Hi and thanks for the answer, the apache error log give

i was reading about xdebug and core dump and my head is spinning with all the new informations, in this moment i need to find quick fix, because this is happening random and only once in a day, and the problem is i dont have alarm or something to “send mail notify” when this is happening. For now can i use (monit) to restart apache2 when Segmentation fault happens?

Thanks

Did you saw How To Install and Configure Monit? It’s older one, but I think it should be still working. It covers case you need - to automatically restart service if down.

You maybe want to trace root of problem. Logs are your best friend, it could give many informations. You can start with checking syslog for Out Of Memory entries. To do it, open syslog:

sudo nano /var/log/syslog

Try to find any Out of memory entry. If you find it, that means it got killed because it ran out of memory. In this case, you can consider upgrading your Droplet or adding Swap. There is Apache error log too. By default it should be located at /var/log/apache2/error.log. You can open it with text editor as usual:

sudo nano /var/log/apache2/error.log

Maybe it’ll give you insight of error if it isn’t OOM.
