I have a VPS with kloxo control panel installed. I am using CentOS 5.8 32-bit.

I restarted Apache today but forgot the time when I did. It is very important to know the exact time.

Can I find it out using the log files or SSH command?

You can find out this from the Apache logs. You will need to log into your VPS via ssh and check the error_log for your apache instance.

You should find something like the following:

[Tue Apr 09 11:43:23 2013] [notice] Apache/2.2.15 (Unix) DAV/2 configured -- resuming normal operations

That will tell you exactly when you apache instance was last started successfully
