question 1-
i seem too often to be unable to do a restart of apache. instead of
a restart, I need to stop, then start, otherwise my startup.pl file
yells at me.
on a hunch, i tried using apache::reload, and that alleviated the
issue. thats fine for my dev box, but i don't want to run it on my
production server. does anyone have an idea why this happens?
question 2-
on my production box, during a start, i sometime get this:
>> DBI connect('xxx','xxx',...) failed: Lost connection to MySQL
server during query
on the first startup. if i start again, it works.
question 3-
finally, because i use a startup.pl in apache, i've noticed that
even an apache stop will run it.
i know that its run because there could be apache scripting options
in there - not just request handling stuff
but i'd like to be able to have apache not run it if its a stop. is
there a command or something that can exit the block prematurely?
sometimes i'll be stupid and not be able to restart the server
because i didn't upload a file, or missing a svn checkin, so i have
to kill httpd instead of using apachectl
thanks
