apache2ctl -k graceful is not really an option for me because I would have to give root privileges to my apache/php. <br><br>"<span style><font color="#222222" face="arial, sans-serif">AFAIK, this isn't possible." I don't know anything about apache modules and stuff so the next thing I say may not be applicable or just plain stupid, but maybe each process will hold their own copy of configuration so the apache process will be able to alter it's configuration upon detection of file change. There is certainly that added overhead of "checking last modified date" and keeping more copies in memory, but this should not be the default behavior.</font></span><br>

AFAIK, this isn't possible. Inside an apache module, the configuration<br>
is considered read-only as it is shared between multiple worker<br>
threads/processed spawned by httpd.<br>
<br>
apachectl configtest && apachectl graceful will restart the server<br>
gracefully, i.e. without aborting ongoing requests, and will load the<br>
new configuration for subsequent requests.<br>
