We've installed a Web Agent 12.52SP1CR11 and it seems it doesn't
support restart with Apache 2.4.46, even if documentation states that
it is supported :

How can we fix that ?

 

Environment

 

  Web Agent 12.52SP1CR11 on Apache 2.4.46;

Note that this fix will apply only to Apache 2.4.27 version and
above. The following KD still applies for Apache version lower than
2.4.27 :
