Alex,

Without seeing your configuration files, it is difficult to recommend anything. You have to make sure that you have a proper balance with how your Apache configuration is set up as well as how you have your mod_fcgid configuration set up. Do you have a specific mod_fcgid configuration, or are you only changing to Apache configuration variables through WHM?

Regards,
Chris

 

This issue commonly occur due to lower values of MaxRequestsPerProcess. solution was changing the apache directive to the following

MaxRequestsPerProcess 1000
DefaultMaxClassProcessCount 120
IdleTimeout 60
MaxProcessCount 2000
IPCCommTimeout 40
IPCConnectTimeout 10
MaxRequestLen 10240000
