Hi, First of all: ISPConfig, amazing open source solution! It runs very light and the source code looks good. But, I have noticed that when we do a change on the sites configuration (in the ISPCONFIG panel), Apache will be restarted. This is not so nice, cause when Apache is busy with processing some scripts those processes will be stopped. It's better to use the graceful parameter, so Apache restarts, but the running scripts will continue running. I fixed it by changing: /usr/local/ispconfig/server/mods-available/web_module.inc.php if($action == 'restart') { exec($conf['init_scripts'] . '/' . $daemon . ' restart'); } To: if($action == 'restart') { exec($conf['init_scripts'] . '/' . $daemon . ' graceful'); }
We used graceful before but it does not work reliably so we had to change it to restart Ispconfig uses a reload werever possible but especially operations related to ssl changes require a restart.
The side affect of apache restart is that when running Apache in combination with mod-php the running processes are killed. When running apache graceful the running processes are continued. This is very useful when running cronjobs that must be runned over the web-port.
