Macports, Apache PATH evn?

[Rob Krul]

Just do a full restart:

$ apache2ctl stop; apache2ctl start. You have to actually kill the apache process for it to reread the envvars. 'graceful' is even a lighter reload than 'restart.' A 'graceful' restart keeps current connections alive, unlike restart, so no, the envvars file would not be reread. As Scott pointed out, you have to completely kill the apache process by stopping and starting.
