apache2:reload
Reload the Apache webserver (more secure as it will only reload if the config is valid)
$ systemctl reload apache2
try on your machine
This command is used to reload the configuration for the Apache web server. It sends a "reload" signal to the Apache service, which causes it to gracefully restart with the updated configuration. This is useful in situations where changes have been made to the Apache configuration file, but a full restart of the service is not necessary or desirable.
The "systemctl" command is used to communicate with systemd, the system and service manager in most modern Linux distributions. In this case, it is used to interact with the Apache2 service. "Apache2" refers to the second version of the Apache web server, which is a widely used open-source web server software.
