Maintaining Apache
Serverwatch.com is running an excellent article on Apache Maintenance Basics.
Doing some regular checks and maintenance on your Apache installation helps identify any issues — usually before they even become issues — and helps you stay up date with the latest security and performance patches. This article covers some of the major steps and maintenance tasks that should be regularly undertaken while the Apache system is running.
It covers things such as monitoring logs, user management, and upgrades. Excellent reading.
