>Description: If apache is running and I change the configuration file (I've consolidated everything into httpd.conf) and restart using "kill -HUP procID", apache seems to restart, but it continues to use the old configuration information. If I type: "kill procID ; /usr/local/apache_1.2.5/bin/httpd -f /usr/local/apache_1.2.5/conf/httpd.conf" the configuration changes are detected. This seems to be an issue specific to NetBSD. At least, I haven't seen it on any other OSs. I'm not familiar enough with NetBSD to guess why it happens. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: As above. Don't use "kill -HUP". kill the process completely and restart >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
