Restart won;t work because of chroot.

Use apachectl stop and then apachectl start for proper restarting. After an apachectl stop you can check with ipcs -s if there are still semaphores allocated to www (it happens once in a while they are not cleaned up up by apache). If so, remove them with ipcrm -s. If yo do that , you won't have to increase semmni. -Otto
