    Whenever Apache is down, log to SSH and try to kill the processes by killall - 9 httpd and then restart

    That's the most popular cause of apache crashing..processes unwilling to shut down and stopping apache from restarting

    If you also restart from SSH it'll give you the reason why it's failing specially if it's something wrong with httpd.conf
