  Hello :) Lost semaphores are generally caused by Apache experiencing an unclean shutdown. If this continues to be an issue and it prevents Apache from starting, the best thing to do would be to determine why Apache is crashing. The following command should help to clean up the lost semaphores:
  for shmid in `ipcs |grep nobody |awk '{print $2}'`; do ipcrm -s $shmid ; done
  To see your current semaphores settings for memory, use a command such as:
  cat /proc/sys/kernel/sem
  Thank you.

  You can also view the settings with a command such as:
  ipcs -lm
  Thank you.
