   There is no need to force the reload, a simple sudo apache2ctl restart is enough

   apache2ctl restart will restart your entire apache, whereas the reload will only reload the config for apache.

   what the /etc/init.d/apache2 scripts does is call the apache2ctl function, but inside a nice wrapper. always prefer to handle your services through the services. so if you really need a restart to /etc/init.d/apache2 restart.

   but if you can, go with the reload …

   Thanks mate. That was solving my problem.
   Maybe also good to know it’s for SUSE Linux.
