RE: Apache server instance suddenly failing.

I had a server stop working, Telnet, due to an expired certificate being deleted while still assigned to the application, telnet. I agree it should not stop it from working but a bad startup configuration due to a missing or expired certificate can stop some servers from starting up. I would still check the Apache instance to see if it has its own application definition in DCM and all is valid.

Check to see if the SSL cert has expired.

An expired cert is definitely not a reason for Apache to stop working.
