Bug#398223: apache2: "[notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down"

[clayton <ckoeni@gmail.com>]

Package: apache2
Version: 2.2.3-3
Severity: important


Twice in the past two weeks apache2 has shut down spontaneously for no 
apparent reason. The error log ends with the following:

[Sun Nov 12 06:29:15 2006] [warn] child process 13051 still did not exit, 
sending a SIGTERM
[Sun Nov 12 06:29:17 2006] [warn] child process 13051 still did not exit, 
sending a SIGTERM
[Sun Nov 12 06:29:19 2006] [warn] child process 13051 still did not exit, 
sending a SIGTERM
[Sun Nov 12 06:29:21 2006] [error] child process 13051 still did not exit, 
sending a SIGKILL
[Sun Nov 12 06:29:22 2006] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down

And can see no other signs of problems, it just isn't running any more. The 
only thing that has changed recently is that I have add SSL to one of my 
websites.
