[SAC] apache instance on adhoc vm

I am setting up some pycsw demos (WSGI handlers) on http://demo.pycsw.org/.

Are there any guidelines for rebooting apache2 on this box (other than sudo service apache2 restart and the docs on http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/AdhocVM) or can I go ahead?

I’ve edited /etc/apache2/sites-available/demo.pycsw.org, but have not rebooted apache2 because I didn’t want to cause any mid-air collisions to existing apache2 services on this box.

Thanks

…Tom

Tom,

Generally I'd use "/usr/sbin/apach2ctl graceful" to restart but
otherwise I'd say just go ahead, and be prepared to undo any
changes quickly if it breaks apache. Adhoc (as the name implies)
is not really for high stability critical services so a brief interruption
is fine.

Best regards,
