Hi all, I have situation where i have Apache 2.0.55 configured using the worker process model and this is running using a particular configuration file. Prior to an outage i want to deliver a new config file to the server in readiness for a server restart during my outage window. my question though is if we are using a process model that spawns new processes do these spawned processes read the new config file from disk or do they read it from the parent processes memory , if they read from memory then i am cool because i can update the config prior to the outage and then just restart to read it in, otherwise if it reads from disk i am going to have to deliver during the outage. any help would be greatly appreciated. cheers Steve Steve Foster | Capgemini | Telford Shared Technology Services T. +44 (0) 1952 296664 | www.capgemini.com Internal: 46664 Join the Collaborative Business Experience =========================================================== Our e-mail domain has now changed from iraspire.com to hmrcaspire.com.
