Tech. Documentation - force_config_reload command



NAME

force_config_reload - Force the webserver to reload the configuration of this archive.


SYNOPSIS

force_config_reload archiveid [options]


DESCRIPTION

This command forces the webserver to reload the config files for the given archive.

This is very useful, but the webserver will only reload the config files in the "forked" versions of itself, but the origional. This will generate a major extra load each time the webserver forks of a process.

This command offers a temporary solution to the problem only. You should still restart apache at some point.

All this file really does is create an empty file named .changed in the archives own var/ directory. The main system, running in the webservers mod_perl, looks at the time this file was last modified. If this file has changed since the archive configuration was loaded then it forces a reload.
