    I have a VPS from mediatemple.net, and I'm not sure what is going on, but Apache has stopped running every day in the morning and it just stopped running about 2 hours ago and I didn't catch it until now

    From the error log, i'm showing:
    Any ideas what might be causing this? just came home and my site was down again, and I've lost 15,000 pageviews already today.

    How busy is your server? Sounds like a memory problem, possibly too much swap.

    Post the output of top, the apache config, as well as mysql config, if you're using mysql

    Why don't you setup automatic restart of services on failure

    Thanks

    Although that will obviously help to keep the server up, ultimately it's not going to fix the problem

    Feel free to pm me, incase i'm not around

    Oh definitely not, I just need to make sure I don't miss out on traffic tomorrow as I can sit down and work all day on finding a solution, but tonight I just need to make sure I don't wake up to a down site.

    I'll shoot you a PM tomorrow when I post the files, thanks for the help :)

    Forgot to mention as to how busy the site is, when it's not crashing and up all day I get about 45,000 page impressions/day and the site is heavy mysql and php
