We seem to get this error every night around the same time. Any ideas what could be causing it.??

[Wed Jul 23 01:12:01 2003] (1604) 000 Texis Monitor process failed

The vhttpd server periodically checks that the Texis monitor is up and running, and attempts to re-start it if it fails. The "Texis Monitor process failed" message probably indicates vhttpd's restart attempt failed. Check your monitor.log for reasons why the Texis monitor may have exited. (Permission problems are common: monitor should be setuid to the same user that is set for the User setting in vhttpd.conf. Also check that the vhttpd executable is a *copy* rather than a symlink of monitor, because vhttpd should start as root unlike the monitor.)
