graceful restart Mk. II

[Ben Laurie <be...@gonzo.ben.algroup.co.uk>]

Chaps,

I'm working on the proper version of graceful restarts. This now works fine
when there are no Listen directives, and I think I've got the code for when
they are. What I can't see is how to test it ... if I put a Listen in
httpd.conf I end up with no ports being listened on, not even the default one.
Any ideas, anyone?

BTW, what was the point of Listen?

Cheers,

Ben.

Odd. Is this with your patch or without?

The point of Listen is to bind Apache to more than one port or address
(or both). Which can be rather useful.
