Topic: Apache restarting every 5 minutes, on the dot. Need help.

[medievil2003]

Hi everyone, hope you're all well

Right, i am literately going out of my mind to this problem i face. I am on a VPS and am running Magento on it. I use a data content provider who push all my product information to the site via SOAP. For about 3 months everything was working just fine until i started getting service interruptions, i will get an error show up on magento admin panel if the SOAP process has stopped or restarted. further investigations from the apache error logs shows that the server is being restarted every 5 minutes with this error:

[Wed May 25 09:35:52 2016] [notice] SIGHUP received. Attempting to restart

Now, i know by researching on the internet that could mean its a log rotate but the hosting company after more digging seem to think the server is restarting every 5 minutes due to a coding issue within Magento...

We've turned off the cron server just incase is was a process there restarting but with no joy, also disabling every module in Magento, updating to the latest version etc.

I was wondering if you guys can give me a further insight or perhaps more information on what i can do? I cant open my online store until this sorted.

This is a longer part of the error log:

The signal is not from apache itself. An external program is causing the restart --> "SIGHUP".
