To be specific, you are best to run: apachectl stop apachectl start Do not simply use 'restart' as on some versions of OS on some platforms, eg. Mac OS X, Apache is unable to properly unload the mod_python.so from the running Apache parent process and reload it. As a consequence you end up with newer Python code files being used by child Apache processes when they are started anew, but they will still have the older mod_python.so in memory. Graham
