I asked at #apache @ freenode and they told me this:
First run 'sudo apache2ctl -t' to test the configuration (syntax). If it's good 
you can restart using 'sudo apache2ctl -k graceful'.

<qense> What's the best way to restart/reload the apache server on ubuntu? I'd 
like to do it as graceful and unnoticeable as possible.
<jthomas> apache2ctl -k graceful
<jthomas> qense: then makle sure its running with: ps auwx |grep apache
<jthomas> for *buntu it may be: sudo apache2ctl -k graceful
<qense> ok, thx
<jthomas> qense: first run: sudo apache2ctl -t << this tests the settings to 
make sure it'll come back up
<jthomas> well, more likely to come back up
<qense> :)
