user: wapps. Appache restart

[wapps]

If I add a new file, or change the code in a file, do I have to wait 2 hours for the Appache restart to have the changes be effective on the web?

Typically no. If you're changing a traditional PHP, JavaScript, HTML, or CSS file, it will not require an Apache restart to take effect.

As above, typically no. Editing files is usually instant.

That said, WSGI/Flask applications are an exception. Those do require a restart for code changes to take effect.
