How to find out the time apache was last restarted?

Question

I have a VPS with kloxo control panel installed. I am using CentOS 5.8 32-bit.

I restarted Apache today but forgot the time when I did. It is very important to know the exact time.

Can I find it out using the log files or SSH command?

This question would be better off at [serverfault](http://serverfault.com). — RandomSeed, Apr 09 '13 at 15:47

Log in into your VPS via SSH and type in the command:

grep resuming /var/log/httpd/error_log

of course, you need to put the actual path to the log file that your apache has been configured to use – Jeff Sep 13 '16 at 00:40

You can find out this from the Apache logs. You will need to log into your VPS via ssh and check the error_log for your apache instance.

You should find something like the following:

[Tue Apr 09 11:43:23 2013] [notice] Apache/2.2.15 (Unix) DAV/2 configured -- resuming normal operations

That will tell you exactly when you apache instance was last started successfully
