Restart Web Server after changing a .htaccess file Print

No, There is no need of restarting a Web Server.

You will need to "hard refresh" your web page to see the changes.

1. Simply go to your site and load the page that should be affected.
2. Hit Ctrl + F5 to refresh everything (some computers require the F Lock to be on before you can use F5).

Alternatively, you can:

1. Clear your browser's cache.
2. Close the browser.
3. Relaunch the browser.
4. Load your web page again.

Now you should see your new .htaccess code take effect!
