Re: Re: Restart over reload (Apache Users)

Curtis,

Eric's answer was much more on point.

Further, "enabling" a module is just confusing for new users. Modules are either loaded, or not loaded. If you load a module previously not loaded, then you restart httpd. If you change most configuration, then a graceful restart is fine, save for changes to ServerLimit or ThreadLimit for the mpm.

I think if you enable or disable a module, you restart. If you enable or disable a configuration, you reload.
