[Xitami] Stubborn Xitami

[Utku Uzmen]

Hi everyone,

My main HTML directory is the default one, "webpages". I also have another
directory, in the Xitami working directory, named "emergency". In "emergency",
there is only a very basic, plain, small index.html file that says that the
server is temporarily down. What I wanted to do was to go to the WBA and change
the main HTML dir to "emergency" in case of an emergency, quickly and easily.
Well, it works. But when I changed back to "webpages" for normal operation,
waited for the config refresh timeout (5 seconds), and even clicked "Restart" in
the WBA, Xitami kept showing the "server down" page. Note that the WBA showed
"webpages" as the main HTML dir. No it wasn't about cache because I saw the page
being requested in the access logs every time I hit Ctrl+F5 in Internet Explorer
and Xitami is set to *not* to "cache default pages". So as a last resort I
restarted the Xitami service and it finally went back to showing my normal
pages. Phew...

Also a while ago, when I was playing around with log file formats and my config
refresh timeout was set to 1 second, Xitami once again wouldn't change the way
it logged access data, even though I tried all kinds of log cycle settings
including "at startup", and even clicked the Restart button in the WBA. And, the
same as above, restarting the service would force Xitami to "see" the changes
I'd made.

Did I overlook anything in these two situations? Isn't the Restart button
supposed to do a full restart of the service except unloading/loading the Xitami
executable code? Or possibly bugs?

Thanks,
