apache2 failed to start (websrvmng: Service apache2 failed to start)

Getting the above error in PSA when i try to start the apache service after i noticed overnight it was turned off?

The console gives me the following when i try start:

 # rcapache2 configtest
Syntax OK
 # rcapache2 restart
Syntax OK
Warning: found stale pidfile (unclean shutdown?)
Starting httpd2 (prefork)                                            failed

Ok here is an extract from the error_log

The last 4 lines are all that is in the log from that point as plesk tries regular restarts.

Running apache2ctl start i get the following:

# apache2ctl restart
httpd not running, trying to start
/usr/sbin/apache2ctl: line 115:  3951 Segmentation fault      $HTTPD ${httpd_conf+-f $httpd_conf} -k $ARGV

I'm running apache 2.0.49-27.24.3 with 4.3.11-0.1.

I recently updated php so have a feeling that i could be the culprit. Should i try upgrade the above?

Is there a problem updating apache or would that break things?

Apache error

I had gotten the same error.
To resolve my problem I just rebooted the whole server and all seems to be working fine.
