The init script uses graceful-stop, i.e. the currently active requests will be finished before the apache processes are shut down. But this should not cause the listening sockets to be unavailable. If you use mod_php and your php scripts are executing other programs, you are likely seeing this bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=366124 You can use lsof or "netstat -tlnp" (as root) to determine which processes keep the listening sockets open. Does this fit your problem? Stefan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
