There were log entries on several of my virtual domains right up to the minute that the webserver became unresponsive - at least 5 separate IP addresses at the time. I noticed the problem when Squirrelmail timed out on a refresh. There are no log entries on any of the sites for the next 20 minutes. > Also, did you check all the domains that apache is configured to serve? Yes I checked all domains, including the IP address itself. Even "telnet myserver.net 80" would not connect. "telnet myserver.net 21" and 25 responded as expected.
