Configuration change kills running Apache processes

[bvbmedia]

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');
}

I've added this to our bugtracker, so we will check that.

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.
