Apache problem??

[jeffvanderdoes]

All,

I'm running 2.6 64 bit and have noticed lately when I go into htop I have 55 processes showing "/usr/sbin/apache2 -k -start".  I suspect this is some sort of startup error but am learning linux so don't know where to start the log search or problem resolution.  Anybody able to give me some places to start trying to resolve it (if not an issue please let me know).

Thanks,
Jeff

Open a terminal, what is the output of:

Code:

apt policy apache2

Sorry guess the holidays got me distracted.

The output is as follows:

It shows the following:
apache2:

Apache has been installed either directly or indirectly as a dependency of another package. I would look at all the software you have installed since you first installed LL. One of them will be the culprit.
