Morning all,

Apache on our internal development server stopped working last night. It's running, but all we get is a blank screen, no server errors.

Examing the error log shows the following,

[Fri Apr 23 09:13:57 2010] [notice] child pid XXXX exit signal exceeded file size limit (25)
[Fri Apr 23 09:14:03 2010] [notice] child pid XXXX exit signal exceeded file size limit (25)
[Fri Apr 23 09:14:03 2010] [notice] child pid XXXX exit signal exceeded file size limit (25)
[Fri Apr 23 09:14:06 2010] [notice] child pid XXXX exit signal exceeded file size limit (25)

After some Googling, we found that this is due to Apache trying to handle a file greater than it's maximum allowed limit, which by default is 2GB and is usually an error log.

I did a search using find . -size +1000000k -ls (find all files greater than 1GB) in our log and web folders, but nothing showed up.

I've also restarted Apache and rebooted the server itself serveral times. I've completely wiped the log folder and started a fresh. Nothing is working.

Any ideas as to what else might be causing this?

Thank you
