Parameter -D will be ignored on restart of Apache

Unfortunately there is no mechanism to communicate the -D value (or any other
parameters) to the running httpd process during the restart. The httpd process
being restarted will always use the command-line it was originally started with.
The process handling "apachectl restart" simply sends a signal (SIGHUP) to the
running server. The -D has to be accepted on the "apachectl restart" in case it
is necessary for selecting the right running httpd process to signal, such as
when this is in the httpd.conf
<IfDefine SSL>
PidFile logs/ssl.pid
</IfDefine>
<IfDefine !SSL>
PidFile logs/httpd.pid
</Ifdefine>
This is a limitation until such time that the implementation changes significantly.
I suggest addressing your concern with some information at
