Q. Is it able to restart my Apache server on Linux?

Ans: Yes, you’ll be able to restart your Apache server without affecting or killing alternative existing processes. For this, you have to use the graceful restart command.

But this is often possible, given that you’ve got a VPS or an dedicated server hosting as you required to execute the commands through the root server.

COMMAND:
service httpd graceful

Then restart command will not kill any existing apache processes.

If you want to kill the present http processes and restart your apache server then use the subsequent command:-

service httpd stop
service httpd startssl

Apache also can be restarted, along side the other service, from WHM. Simply log in, and choose the service you want to restart undern the “restart services” section.
