Is it possible to reload such a shared library (after software changes and placing a new version) without restart of apache? B) The module loads for a virtual host an application library (shared lib on linux). On Apache-Restart the library is loaded and also for each library the module creates a Shared Memory segment. How can can I reload an application library for a virtual host without restart the whole apache? Is that possible? Thank you for your suggestion Manfred
