Apache wont stay up

I have had a bad day, to top it off I cant get apache to stay up! I wont even restart properly, I have to restart the service many times before it comes back and even then it will only stay up for a few minutes and then go down again.

In the apache logs I see a whole bunch of these :

[Wed Jul 7 18:19:20 2004] [warn] child process 7141 still did not exit, sending
a SIGTERM
[Wed Jul 7 18:19:20 2004] [warn] child process 7145 still did not exit, sending
a SIGTERM
[Wed Jul 7 18:19:20 2004] [warn] child process 7146 still did not exit, sending
a SIGTERM
[Wed Jul 7 18:19:20 2004] [warn] child process 6533 still did not exit, sending

[Wed Jul 7 18:44:44 2004] [error] [client 213.16.178.78] File does not exist: /home/username2/public_html/favicon.ico

There is a whole ton of these, all from different ips and it keeps on maxing out the maxclient limit and restarting apache as soon as it comes back up. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?


These go on for miles, is my server getting attacked? Or what is this, I have bumped up the maxclients so many times, all the way up to 500 and it keeps restarting because of it and causing apache to crash. Any help would be appreciated.
