Bug#237377: since feb 28th
I've been experiencing this since febuary 28th, but only on a high
volume web server.
It was definitely in the logrotation. Oddly enough doing a `logrotate
-f -v /etc/logrotate.d/apache` showed that it wasn't actually doing the
shared endscripts. When doing it with a -f -d -v however, it did run
the script.
So I replaced the endscript line
`/usr/sbin/apachectl graceful`
with
`/etc/init.d/apache stop`
`/etc/init.d/apache start`
This caused the apache server to not die entirely and a few hours
after logrotation the apache daemons would be running, but not
showing any output.
Doing a `/etc/init.d/apache stop` didn't kill all the daemons and
neither did `killall apache` so I have to kill the processes by hand.
The `/usr/sbin/apachectl graceful` causes these errors in the logfile:
[warn] pid file /var/run/apache.pid overwritten -- Unclean shutdown of previous Apache run?
So I'm still looking for a workaround.
