When Apache on Ubuntu 18.04 is Forcefully Terminated

Since Apache suddenly dies, I checked the logs and found:

$ tail /var/log/apache2/error.log

It looked like this.

Referencing "AH00144: couldn't grab the accept mutex in Apache 2.4 | gwaw.jp"
https://www.gwaw.jp/20180526-16.html

I did the following:

$ sudo bash -c "echo 'Mutex file:\${APACHE_LOCK_DIR} default' > /etc/apache2/conf-available/mutex-file.conf"

Then:

$ sudo a2enconf mutex-file
$ sudo systemctl restart apache2

And it worked.
