Thanks for your comment. Apache Log is 1GB file, when I want to open it it crashes. CPU and RAM usage of the server is very low, It is not highly utilized at all. It would be great if I could talk with you over Skype or something like that to solve the issue

Suggest:

apache2ctl stop, delete the log files, apache2ctl start. Let it run until you have about 200 Kbytes of log. Then apache2ctl stop, make a copy of the log files somewhere else, apache2ctl start.

This lets you examine a reasonable-size log file to see what is going on.

Side note: If the Apache log files are getting up to a gigabyte, this causes other issues in the system due to file fragmentation as the system needs more file mapping windows, and file relocation occurs. Suggest that you journal the logfiles daily with a cron script.

Expert proposed a workable method to locate the source of the problem. On followup it developed that the size of the logfiles is an issue and the questioner is probably not rotating the logfiles. Additional input from expert to address that issue.
