Apache2 crashing sometimes - gets working just after an apache2 restart - why is this happening?

  • 772

I have an Ubuntu Server (Amazon AWS).

I never encountered any problems with it untill it started crashing. (website doesn't load).

I thought it's because of too much traffic entering the server, so I moved from a micro instance to a large instance.

The server continued crashing!

This is the last outputs that I have in var/log/apache2/error.log:

From what I understood it's a problem with the indexes (?) which I don't really understand why suddenly now I have problems with since I have never had any.

so I edited the file etc/apache2/apache2.conf from: 

<Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Require all granted
</Directory>

to: 

<Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
</Directory>

I'm not even sure that this was the problem that cause all this.

Can you please give me your opinion about this and help me maybe solve this for good?
