SIGTERM shutting down

[atrais]

Hi guys! Bellisima were so kind to help me find this forum I hope I am posting on the right place.

I have a problem with my Apache2 server on Ubuntu server, each morning it says :

[Mon Jun 16 06:25:16 2008] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down

The line before (in the error.log) is just an error that it doesn't find a jpg.

Is there anywhere I can look for further errors?

It runs on an AMD64, Ubuntuserver (10?).

Hi ob  tolensmiley:

Was worried you would get lost, lol.

Regic, I told him you're the best with Linux and Apache.

I had to concentrate a lot to get here. I am not used to this huge forums.  :cinqo2:

[BellisimaJ.]

It is a really large forum! 

I'll pm regic with the link to this thread.......she may be offline, so it might take a while, but she is really very helpful and good at this tech stuff!

Could you copy the Apache log file lines here.  Also what version of PHP are you using?

Hi, thanks for replying.

I use : 

libapache2-mod-php5 5.2.1-0ubuntu1.5 K-O server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (apache 2 module)
php5-common 5.2.1-0ubuntu1.5 P-T Common files for packages built from the php5 source
php5-mysql 5.2.1-0ubuntu1.5 P-T MySQL module for php5

error.log.1 :
sh: /usr/sbin/sendmail: not found

It could be a permissions problem.  Try changing the ownership of the files to the Apache user.

I thought it was running as root, but when i ps -e -f I get this, is it normal to have this many?

Should I chown to www-data?

That's normal.

You could try chown to www-data

Sorry for my stupid questions I am just afraid to mess things up.

Is it the /var/www/* files that I should chown (websites) or the apache2-file itself?
