Can someone give me specific instructions on how to reload the apache.conf file so that I get new domain names recognized?

I don't want to restart the machine and knock off users who are mounted on it for file sharing....

apachectl restart

apachectl in MOSXS is located in /usr/sbin by default, if you need the full path.

Actually, there is a memory leak involved in the "restart" and "graceful" ways or restarting Apache.

Instead, do "apachectl stop; apachectl start" (as per some Apple TIL or other).
