Hello,
The problem seems to be that when Apache gets heave load (like when someone tries to take our server online sending thousands of bots to visit our webpage) the apache webserver virtually crashes. We have software in place to notice if the server is down and restarts it automatically, this is setup as a cron job that runs everyhour.
Now, seems like our script when restarts apache, it doesn't restart ApacheSSL so I have to run the following command in shell to reactivate it without a reboot:
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl startssl
If it say its already running, kill the PID
kill PID#
Then run again.
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl startssl
I will have the script to be modified and I will investigate the logs and see what the problem is with SSL, that will most likely be, heavy load making the server to re-start.
