Apache server not running but server status is reporting it as up

This may be a bug report, but I have not found a better place to post. In my system logs I have: Oct 15 23:09:59 ns9 systemd: httpd.service stop-sigterm timed out. Killing. Oct 15 23:09:59 ns9 systemd: Unit httpd.service entered failed state. Oct 15 23:09:59 ns9 systemd: httpd.service failed. Apache had been dead for an hour when I noticed. I checked the emails and saw no recovery attempt from the server. I logged into the panel and WHM service status showed apache as UP. also chkservd.log said: httpd [Service check failed to complete I then restarted /scripts/restartsrv chkservd ... no change. The system still showed apache as up. I restarted apache manually and it restarted without problems. chkservd.log now say: httpd [[check command:N/A][socket connect:+]]... Here is the apache error log that also shows that no restart attempt was made: [Thu Oct 15 23:04:51.487367 2020] [core:warn] [pid 15546:tid 47988325827648] AH00045: child process 19816 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM [Thu Oct 15 23:04:51.579013 2020] [core:warn] [pid 15546:tid 47988325827648] AH00045: child process 10532 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM [Thu Oct 15 23:04:53.580223 2020] [core:warn] [pid 15546:tid 47988325827648] AH00045: child process 19816 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM [Thu Oct 15 23:04:53.580272 2020] [core:warn] [pid 15546:tid 47988325827648] AH00045: child process 10532 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM [Thu Oct 15 23:04:55.582118 2020] [core:warn] [pid 15546:tid 47988325827648] AH00045: child process 10532 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM [Thu Oct 15 23:04:57.584292 2020] [core:error] [pid 15546:tid 47988325827648] AH00046: child process 10532 still did not exit, sending a SIGKILL [Thu Oct 15 23:04:58.584894 2020] [mpm_worker:notice] [pid 15546:tid 47988325827648] AH00295: caught SIGTERM, shutting down [ N 2020-10-15 23:04:58.6438 10624/T7 age/Cor/CoreMain.cpp:641 ]: Signal received.
