Well, this is really an Apache question, not a Tomcat question. And I'm hardly a world-renowned Apache expert, just a bloke who's been using it and reading its fine manual for many years. So take the following with a grain of salt. Apache never magically re-reads config files. You have to make it re-read them. The clean way to do this is with "apachectl graceful" which, if I understand it correctly, instructs each child worker to finish processing its current request and then terminate. The parent (controlling process) will re-read its config files (and reopen its log files), and replace each worker in turn by new ones that have the new configuration. See http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/stopping.html for details.
