[Pulp-list] Apache reload and pulp.conf

[Michael Hrivnak]

"service httpd reload" sends a HUP signal to httpd, which causes an immediate restart, not a graceful one.  For a graceful restart, your best bet is "apachectl graceful".

They will both result in new worker processes that fire up from scratch, so your new config will be honored either way.

reload should be sufficient.  aiui, reload does a graceful restart, which just
means once a child process is idle, it is restarted.  So, essentially reload is
the same as a restart without killing any requests currently being handled.

Yes (and it's all mod_wsgi now btw).
