aha! i finally get to add something to a post from nate!

after munging your apache config files* in /etc/apache/,
tell apache to reload its settings using the APACHECTL
command:

	apachectl graceful

or force a hard shutdown/restart of the apache server via

	apachectl restart

or at least <snooty tone of voice> that's the preferred
method according to what i've read </snooty>.


the apache config files are, by default, httpd.conf,
access.conf and srm.conf ... originally, back in the old
days (pre 1.3?) there was a reason to split up the stuff
among these three files. but with 1.3.9 at least, apache
can have it all in one easy-to-munge, gargantuan file
httpd.conf.

to get apache to ignore the other config files, put
	ResourceConfig /dev/null
	AccessConfig /dev/null
in your httpd.conf file, and it'll read your linux bitbucket
so you won't have to worry about srm.conf and access.conf
any more...

see http://www.apache.org/info/three-config-files.html
for the full poop. mostly.
