Q. Is it able to restart my Apache server on Linux?<\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

COMMAND:\r\nservice httpd graceful<\/pre>\n
Then restart command will not kill any existing apache processes.<\/p>\n
If you want to kill the present http processes and restart your apache server then use the subsequent command:-<\/p>\n
service httpd stop\r\nservice httpd startssl<\/pre>\n
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 \u201crestart services\u201d section.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
