Do you have everything *else* updated? And what kind of web service are you running?
There's a lot of third party freeware and commercial tools that was not written with any kind of resource management in mind, and which may require a simple web server restart on a regular baris to free memory. (MusicBrainz: I remember porting MusicBrainz.....)
Yes, all the packages are up to date. General web services -- static HTML, and the rest is mainly wordpress.
You may be right about the restart, but I would like to know WHAT is crashing my web server regardless. We are not running any shiftily coded sites or apps on this server that I'm aware of (obviously something is shifty!). Is anyone aware of any other methods for drilling into the problem?
Look in /var/log/http/*.
Yes, these are the web server logs I am referring to having checked.
Do you have a search engine scanning your web server?
Hmm, no, nothing systematic. The usual crawlers out there but nothing we are doing. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I think the answer will come from analyzing your log files and possibly running something under cron (or in a shell script that wakes up periodically) to gather memory/resource utilization. Even look at a web log analyzer, like analog and see if there is a correlation between web server hits and resource usage. You could also try upgrading your web server/plugins or checking bugzilla for related bugs.
