Hi, i've got a problem with apache. When i try to start it (/etc/init.d/apache2 start) it dies after a few seconds. It shows up on "ps aux" consuming a lot of memory and then dies. I don't know what could be causing apache to consume this amount of memory:
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 13379 1.0 0.3 14376 3908 ? Ss 22:31 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start www-data 13383 0.0 0.4 197316 4196 ? Sl 22:31 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start www-data 13390 0.0 0.3 172728 4172 ? Sl 22:31 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start www-data 13396 0.0 0.3 156336 4160 ?

Here is a htop screenshot:
It happened suddenly, no change had been made to server config, so i don't know whats causing it. The error log of my virtual servers shows this:
