Issue Apache stops some days at the same time and never restarts

[Albertrr86]

Hello, I have a problem a I can't find the solution.

Some days the apache stops and never restarts again until I restart it manually. It seems like a restart routine every day, but some days it fails and does not restart again.

If anyone can help me I'd appreciate a lot. Thank you very much.

This is the log (full log in the file):
