How to restart the OSQA service?

I've noticed that when I change one of the settings in settings_local.py, it doesn't take affect until I restart the entire machine. How do I restart only the OSQA service instead?

You need to restart just your web server process; for example apache/bin/restart

I've found that you have to make sure that apache actually stops completely and then start it again - on some systems you can give it a "restart" command and it will kind of start itself over, but the process doesn't actually go away. In that case, it doesn't recognize changes to the .py files that it's already read.
