is restart needed to make certificate renewal work?

Hi,

Server version: Apache/1.3.33 (Unix)

We just used a new SSL cert to replace the to-be-expired cert. Should
the Apache server be restarted to make the new cert work? I guess so
because right now the security information showed in web browsers is
still about the old cert. But I don't understand why restart is
necessary. Anyway, if anybody can shed some light, I would appreciate
that.

Thanks,

I tried restart (/usr/local/bin/apachectl restart), but viewing the
cert in web browsers still shows the old 'Issued On' and 'Expires On'.

Any ideas?

think apache needs to do a full shutdown on SSL servers
