if I'm reading the apachectl startup script correctly, the "restart" is
not meant to work to with SSL -- or, put differently, it simply does not
handle the option -DSSL. It does not take into consideration whether
apache had been started in SSL mode previously (in which case it would
have to add "-DSSL" in some places when doing the restart...)
It seems that you've got a <IfDefine SSL> around the directives that
load the module mod_ssl. In this case, not having "-DSSL" specified
would explain what you are observing.
(Maybe we should also have a "restartssl" (or similar), or save the current
SSL/non-SSL mode in some file, analogously to the PID-file...?)
As a temporary workaround you might want to patch apachectl by adding
another slightly modified restart section:
(for example in between "restart" and "graceful")
restartssl)
if [ $RUNNING -eq 0 ]; then
echo "$0 $ARG: httpd not running, trying to start"
if $HTTPD -DSSL; then
# added this ---------^
echo "$0 $ARG: httpd started"
else
echo "$0 $ARG: httpd could not be started"
ERROR=5
fi
else
if $HTTPD -DSSL -t >/dev/null 2>&1; then
# added this ---------^
if kill -HUP $PID ; then
echo "$0 $ARG: httpd restarted"
else
echo "$0 $ARG: httpd could not be restarted"
ERROR=6
fi
else
echo "$0 $ARG: configuration broken, ignoring restart"
echo "$0 $ARG: (run 'apachectl configtest' for details)"
ERROR=6
fi
fi

I guess, this should have the desired effect, haven't tried it, though.
I'm not 100% sure whether there are interactions with having mod_ssl
loaded, and apache's handling of the -HUP signal -- although I wouldn't
know of a reason why...
