[Letsencrypt-devel] Bug#895237: Bug#895237: certbot: Stop/start Apache using systemctl instead of apachectl

[Harlan Lieberman-Berg]

reassign 895237 apache2 2.4.33-1
retitle 895237 apache2: apachectl does not use systemd for restarts
affects 895237 certbot
thanks

Hi Jan,

Hm, looks like this is actually a bug over in apache-land.  We do the right
thing for `apachectl start` in terms of wrapping to use systemd, but we
don't do that during `apachectl restart`.

Apache folx, can we potentially just turn restart into a shim that calls
`apachectl stop` and `apachectl start`?  That will solve the problem with
the least amount of fuss.

Sincerely,
