I am having much of the same problems, except my webserver won't display php pages at all... just the Code. See my post.

not sure if this is it, but sometimes when I restart apache there wouldn't be enough entropy for it to start. When apache is actually running, if a do a ps ax | grep apache there is a large number of processes spawned by apache. When it doesn't work, there's just one (waiting on more entropy)

You can create entropy by doing anything that takes cpu cycles, I usually just do some sort of find on tmp files, or grep large files or something.

I have seen this, and I don't think it's an entropy problem. I have had this occur on servers that had been up for days, doing things.... I read somewhere in my travels how to either tweak the entropy source or how sensitive Apache is to how much entropy is there...
