This looks like a long standing bug going back at least as far as Lenny. I'm still running a Lenny server with apache2-mpm-itk which exhibits similar symptoms.
It took me a while to figure out why configuration changes weren't always taking effect after a restart, but eventually I noticed that not all of the apache2 processes were stopping when using the init script to stop or restart. A "killall apache2" is usually needed. This was not necessary with apache2-mpm-prefork. (On starting there's also an error message saying document roots don't exist, but the server still works fine. I'm not sure if that's related - I'm using mod_chroot.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
