Hi, I use Apache httpd, mod_jk and Tomcat 5 under Linux. Re-staring Apache httpd alone should never be a problem.
However when I re-start Tomcat, then I follow this sequence: - Stop Apache httpd - Restart Tomcat - Start Apache httpd I follow this sequence because mod_jk returns a server error if it cannot connect to Tomcat. In order for this to work, the Tomcat restart operation must truly block (no timeout guessing workarounds here, please) so that the last step "Start Apache httpd" does not start before Tomcat is running again, and that there is no time wasted in the "Restart Tomcat" step. Tomcat takes an awful lot of time to start unfortunately. For more info refer to: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34140 "jsvc does not block on Linux" Bernard On Wed, 01 Jun 2005 02:30:14 -0500, you wrote: >At 04:44 PM 5/31/2005, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >>After some more digging, it *appears* that "apache -k restart" WILL do a >>graceful restart of Apache2 on Windoze. > >Of course it will. > >>Can anyone confirm this please?
