hi,

I'm using Apache 2.2 in Windows2003 Server.
After i change the configuration file. it  takes a very long time during
Apache restart .
Is there any way to reload  configuration file without restart Apache?

Any help will be appreciate.

You can try "graceful" instead of "restart" as the argument to
apachectl, but I don't know that that will be any faster. My guess is
parsing the config file is what's taking so long.

The OP is using Apache under Windows, presumably as a Windows Service. I don't think apachectl is used in that case. I also don't know if the Windows Service version can do the equivalent of the "graceful" or "reload" options. I think it just stops the entire service and restarts it.

Addendum :
This page (which I strongly advise the OP to read in full) :
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/platform/windows.html
has this to say :

You can also restart a running service and force it to reread its configuration file by using:

httpd.exe -k restart

So maybe to OP could try that and see if it is faster ?
