Mostly at least once a day. The days with multiple restarts were when I changed Apache config. I tried disabling mod_security and xcache to no avail.

We experienced this problem for many days (from Christmas till Feb 2nd) with one of our servers.

After we saw this thread a few days ago, we performed the following, and it seems to have fixed the issue.

In WHM:

1. Apache Configuration > Piped Log Configuration: ON

2. Apache Configuration > Log Rotation: ON (Everything!)

3. Tweak Settings > Log Rotation Threshold: 300 MB (default)

In LiteSpeed admin:

1. Configuration > Server > Log > Server Log > Rolling Size: 0

Via SSH, run:

/usr/local/lsws/admin/misc/lsup.sh -f -v 4.2.21

After that, no more problems. Of course, it is possible that performing only one of the items above will fix the issue. But try them all (like what we did) and see what happens.
