apache2, processes die and do not fork

All-

I have had a sudden problem with apache2, and am not sure why

The problem is, after it runs awhile, the top apache process goes away, and all the others show 1 for the ppid. When this happens i cannot restart it, i have to kill each process then restart it. if i do not do this the server crashes.

below is when it is running correctly, from a ps -efH

Code:
root     29995     1  0 18:46 ?        00:00:00   httpd2 -f /etc/httpd/conf/httpd2.conf -DAPACHE2 -DHAVE_PERL -DHAVE_PHP5 -DHAVE_SSL -DHAVE_ACCESS -DHAVE_ACT

All the ppid have gone to "1", anyone have any ideas what causes this or how it can be corrected?

think I found my problem , figured i woud post it.

Code:
[Thu Mar 16 18:30:22 2006] [emerg] (35)Resource deadlock avoided: couldn't grab the accept mutex
[Thu Mar 16 18:35:46 2006] [emerg] (35)Resource deadlock avoided: couldn't grab the accept mutex
[Thu Mar 16 18:38:23 2006] [emerg] (35)Resource deadlock avoided: couldn't grab the accept mutex
was showing up, shortly thereafter it was crashing, randomly.

from a mailer ( http://archives.mandrivalinux.com/co...1/msg00251.php )

Quote:
The problem with "couldn't grab the accept mutex (...) [alert] Child 6865
returned a Fatal error...\nApache
is exiting!" is due to ssl module not being able to write
to /var/cache/httpd/mod_ssl. After chmod-ing this directory writeable Apache
finally started and works as it should!

Hopefully this does it
