Webserver crash due to lt-httpd segfault error 6

We have webserver hosting wordpress website on a debian machine. Two days ago, it suddenly crashed and started to log the following errors in /var/log/messages. However, there are no entries in the /var/log/apache2/error.log or /var/log/apache2/access.log

I started to work on this server two days ago and do not have a in depth knowledge of it. Whenever we try to hit the website it hosts, it logs a new line of segfault. If any one could point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

  1. I think that the problem comes from a bad configuration in PHP
    Have you “apc.so” enabled in your “php.ini” ? if yes disable it and restart apache server
