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> :) -- Gracful apache restart so users arn't disconnected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/240524 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Rapache Developers, which is subscribed to Remote Apache Management tool .
