Mapserver requires restart of apache

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,
 
I have never experienced just this behaviour, but I have seen that for example MapLab applications do not trigger the new map file with just pushing the Refresh button. But if I check/uncheck a layer or zoom in/out or something then the new map file is used.  Could this be the case for you as well?
 
If you still need to restart Apache each time to see the effect of editing the mapfile then I believe that the mapfile itself of some program object created from that must be cached somewhere in your system.  Then it might be due to your application rather than Mapserver.  Have you tried what happens if you send requests to your Mapserver-cgi and the edited mapfile through browser, for example?
 
Regards,

Hi to all!
I have noticed that each time I modify the .map file, I need to restart apache to see any changes..
Any idea of which can be the matter?

Thanks for all
Luca
