Bug#486629: apache2 refusing to restart
My apologies for the brief bug, it was sent after a 13 hour day at work.
Some times I have noticed the system is abit sluggish when I restart
apache, the main problem is with apache, it creates lots of child
processes that refuse to die, the biggest problem is it then locks up the
ports it is using and the only way to kill apache properly at the moment
is to restart the whole system.
When apache is working it is stable, its been happening for awhile and I
was hoping it would have been fixed during the normal update sequence.

Why does apache2 refuse to restart or reload the configuration and if you
attempt it then the whole system needs to be rebooted. Any package that
dies bad enough to require a reboot has something badly broken in it.
Please be more verbose. What happens exactly? Does the system just become
unresponsive, does it run out of memory, etc.? Can you call top while you
restart and do you see what's happening in the output?
Also, what architecture are you using? What are the versions of libapr1 and
libaprutil1 that you have installed? (These information get automatically
added by reportbug. I recommend you use reportbug in the future.)
Cheers,
Stefan
