The /var/www/* files

Awesome, thanks a lot for helping me guys. I've chown -R www-data /var/www/* now and restarted apache. I look forward to check it out tomorrow morning.

Sorry my apache2 went down this morning as well.

It must be something in my cronjob


[Tue Jun 17 06:25:09 2008] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down

I found this via webmin :

For log rotation configured using this module to be performed, the command logrotate must be run on a regular schedule (usually daily) by Cron.
Currently, the log rotation command is being run from the script /etc/cron.daily/logrotate every day at 6:25, and cannot be adjusted.

Something keep apache2 from being restarted I guess?

Oh dear I think I am too old for Linux.

I found this in logrotate.d/apache2 :

                /etc/init.d/apache2 restart > /dev/null

I changed it to

                /etc/init.d/apache2 restart -USR1 > /dev/null

I hope that will help

Did you use a passphrase/password when you created the self-signed SSL?

There is a bug in Debian (and probably its offshoot Ubuntu) involving SSL and logrotate which causes a SIGTERM.

One solution is to use 'reload' instead of 'restart' in logrotate.d/apache2

The other solution if you're using an SSL with a passphrase is to replace it with one that doesn't use a pasphrase or you could comment out the SSL lines in the virtual host:
# SSLEngine on
# SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/domain.self.crt
# SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/domain.net.key

Great, thank you! I think I will try reload, because I really don't like to restart my apache.
