You're probably using unstable, are using PHP4 packages, and do not include PHP4 support with apache-ssl. Your system probably chugged along happily because you haven't done any apt-get update && apt-get upgrade for a while. At least, that's how I got burned.

There's some kind of conflict with PHP4 and apache in Unstable. The following worked for me:

more /etc/apt/preferences

Package: php4
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 1001

Package: php4-mysql
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 1001

Package: php4-imap
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 1001

Package: php4-cgi
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 1001

Package: php4-pear
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 1001

Package: php.*
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 1001

Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 500


(Pins the PHP4 stuff to stable until this mess gets straightened out!). Thanks to Fabio Massimo Di Nitto from the debian-apache team for helping me figure out what what up.


Ah well... that's why it's named unstable!

All of a sudden apache dies silently, nothing in any logs, it just never starts up. apache-ssl runs fine tho. I did a "strace apache" which didnt really reveal anything that i could see. Quite frankly, i am not even sure how to start to debug this one? The server has been running fine for ages?
