apachectl restart problem...

Greetings all,
I'm curious if anyone has come across issues with starting apache
using -
# $APACHE_HOME/bin/apachectl startssl
and then having apache hang when issuing this -
# $APACHE_HOME/bin/apachectl restart

I'm running 1.3.26 with the latest mod_ssl on Solaris 8. I don't get
any error messages in the logs, and apachectl says that it restarts just
fine, but when you point a browser back to the server it does not
respond. I can fix it with an apachectl stop;apachectl startssl, but
I'm just curious about not being able to do the restart.

Restart sends a HUP to apache. I've found that this is sometimes insufficiently forceful to make apache reload certain SSL parameters (e.g. if you change the certificate). However, it should be sufficient for non-SSL edits.

RE: apachectl restart problem...

I thought it might be something like that, but typically when I've run
into this, I've made a change to a http virtual host, and all the other
virtual hosts ssl or not, are then not accessible. Maybe apache needs a
better way to reload configs for virtual hosts (such that it doesn't
bother anything else)...but that's not a topic for this list. :)
Thanks for the response.

Re: apachectl restart problem...

reloads dont work if your keys are encrypted - is this the case here?

i have happliy sent a sig USR1 to an ssl apache setup each night for two
years - and never a problem - only goes awry if a cert or key changes.
