Well, if you are using Linux or other Unix check if logrotate runs its
script httpd - logrotate runs it everu Sunday. Other thing is that you
propably have to enter Pass Phase while starting httpd - you have that
Pass Phase included in your certificate, so initial check has to be made.
When Apache is automaticly restarted there is no way to put your secret
Pass Phase, so Apache won't start.
Solution - remove Pass Phase from certificate or disable logrotate running
over http.
