I've set up a WordPress site on a Virtual Machine within Azure. However, I've encountered an issue where the website unexpectedly stops functioning. I've noticed that restarting the VM resolves the problem, and the website starts working again.

Is there any indication on Event Viewer that the web server service or any dependency is failing or timing out?

Microsoft Azure has examined the boot logs on your virtual machine (VM) soclearning.com and determined that one or more disks has experienced possible filesystem corruption.
Use the Serial Log option within Boot Diagnostics to see the current state of your VM.

2023-09-13T16:51:12.73+00:00 If it is a Linux VM, you might want to check the logs for either time out/hang on the webserver process or other errors that may be causing the VM to stop responding.
That diagnostics message about file system corruption might also be a good place to start. -

The access logs can be found in the / var /log/httpd/error_log by default.
Before you are restarting the server, check those logs and see if there is an error with Apache.
