[users@httpd] how to re-read the configuration without restarting apache
hello,
I need to add these 2 lines to my conf file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(OpenObject.*) http://server2:9000/$1
the http service is critical and cannot kill sessions.
Is there a way to reload the configuration without
restarting apache?
thanks.

apachectl -h
Usage: /data/custom-apaches/apache-2.0.61/bin/httpd \
[-D name] [-d directory] [-f file]
[-C "directive"] [-c "directive"]
[-k start|restart|graceful|stop]
[-v] [-V] [-h] [-l] [-L] [-t] [-S]
It's the graceful you are after.

If that server of yours really is critical, I would urge you NOT to change the operational configuration before having tested the changes elsewhere.

apachectl configtest
apachectl graceful
or if you're using Fedora / RedHat / CentOS:
service httpd configtest
service httpd reload
HTH,

Melanie, you should alter the latter line (above) to
RewriteRule ^/(OpenObject.*) http://server2:9000/$1 [R=301,L]
This way, browsers are able to cache the request (R=301) and will
contact server2 immediately without bothering server1 again. The "L"
option makes makes apache to not process any further rewrites appearing
later in your configuration. See
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html

<path-to-apachectl>/apachectl configtest (tests your config)
<path-to-apachectl>/apachectl graceful (gracefully restarts apache)
should do what you intended. Though, I am not sure if your sessions will
persist, depending on the session-mechanism. See
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/stopping.html
