My httpd service is weird

Ok I have a big trouble today. Suddently without any kind of modifications to the server, it's gone crazy today. Got a couple of httpd dead but subsys locked messages , and now when I write:

Code:

[root@plesk init.d]# ./httpd status

I get

Code:

[root@plesk init.d]# ./httpd status
httpd (pid 5291 5290 5289 5288 5287 5286 5285 5284 5283 5280) is running...
[root@plesk init.d]#

Several httpd proceses but my site quickfileupload . com doesn't work anymore like it should.

What's happening with my server ? What caused those multiple httpd proceses to run the same time ? if I write:

Code:

killall httpd

I have after

Code:

[root@plesk init.d]# ./httpd status
httpd dead but subsys locked
[root@plesk init.d]#

If I write

Code:

[root@plesk init.d]# ./httpd start
Starting httpd:                                            [  OK  ]
[root@plesk init.d]#

it starts but when I check the status again

Code:

[root@plesk init.d]# ./httpd status
httpd (pid 5324 5323 5322 5321 5320 5319 5318 5317 5316 5313) is running...
[root@plesk init.d]#

again, several httpd proceses are started

what should I do ? I really need your help

each time when I restarted apache , I've deleted the httpd file from /var/lock/subsys/

that's perfectly normal... apache is a multithreaded application.

but you've said a single thing about what the probelm actually is...

and don't ever killall httpd, that's just messy and bad.

Ok the problem has been fixed by EV1. They have merged with another company the other day and everything was messed up by them. Now it's fine.
