Question

I am using a cron job to reload my httpd service after a subdomain is created. I have the problem that when the reload happens the page that registers the user throws a server error.

i was wondering if i could go around this by having another cron task.

So my logic would be

httpd reload after a .conf file is created
then take the user back to the DocumentRoot of the main page.

So in usage it would be

a user registers, then is automatically taken back to domain.com

You could do ajax requests in the background until the server is completely restarted, when the first successful ajax request gets back, do the redirect.
