Re: [monit] Monit "connection failure" for apache

[Martin Pala]

Try to run monit in verbose mode (using -v option) and check logs.

Which monit version it is? On monit <4.9 there was bug, which may keep 
the error flag when monit was reloaded, but it didn't restarted the 
service incorrectly - just the report on status page was wrong (it was 
fixed in monit 4.9)
