 |
|
| Does it require a full restart of Apache (when running as a service), after adding a new vhost to the configuration? |

| Yes, you need to restart to make the changes known to the apache process. |

| When running Apache as a service on a Windows server, is there a stable method to set Apache to restart once per day? |

Hi,
With the task scheduler, create a task once a day at the time of your choice.
| Code: | | httpd.exe -n service_name -k restart |
It is a graceful restart of Apache.
Maybe it won't be enough to support the new VirtualHost, in which case you'll have to stop and restart the service with a batch file. For example:
| Code: | net stop service_name
net start service_name |
or
| Code: | httpd.exe -n service_name -k stop
httpd.exe -n service_name -k start |
|

| A side note: The graceful restart might be preferred since it does not kill an active connection. And the graceful restart is enough to get a new vhost working. |
