My first post on this list... be gentle! :)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
To my mind, if I have a running server, and make a config change (*any* change, could be complete garbage), then the sequence:<br>
    apache2 -t<br>
    /etc/init.d/apache2 reload<br>
.. should either error at the -t test, or should be running after the reload.<br>
