>Description:
after a /etc/rc.d/apache reload i see apache ignoring any new entries in it's 
config file or the config file of php (i had an addition in its 
'extension=blahblah' list), i see the following in apache's error_log:

[Fri Mar 11 21:24:35 2005] [notice] Graceful restart requested, doing restart
[Fri Mar 11 21:24:35 2005] [warn] (51)Network is unreachable: connect to 
listener
[Fri Mar 11 21:24:40 2005] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest 
authentication ...
[Fri Mar 11 21:24:40 2005] [notice] Digest: done

doing a restart via /etc/rc.d/apache stop followed by /etc/rc.d/apache start 
which results in following lines in above mentioned file:

[Fri Mar 11 21:25:10 2005] [warn] Init: Session Cache is not configured [hint: 
SSLSessionCache]
[Fri Mar 11 21:25:12 2005] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest 
authentication ...
[Fri Mar 11 21:25:12 2005] [notice] Digest: done
[Fri Mar 11 21:25:13 2005] [notice] Apache configured -- resuming normal 
operations

apache runs as expected (i.e., reread the files and runs the added features).
>How-To-Repeat:
change a setting in httpd.conf or another config file which has an effect on 
apache's behaviour, reload apache. try it. watch it fail. stop and start 
apache, try again ;)
>Fix:
nope.
