Can you do a graceful restart on Windows? On Unix, a graceful corresponds to sending a USR1 signal to the apache parent. This causes the extant daemons to exit when they're finished and all new daemons to come up with the new config. All the apache control methods use signals (restart = HUP, stop = TERM). On Windows, these signals don't exist and apache is controlled as a service. You have "apache -k restart" but I'm not sure if that corresponds to a HUP or USR1. Either try it and let us know, or maybe some Windows guru has a clearer idea.
