How do I reload a fastcgi process if I'm using using python/django or Ruby On Rails?

If you change the code of your site, to make apache re-load your django application, you do not need to restart the server.

If you have access to a command shell on a unix system, restarting the server can be done with the ``touch`` command::

touch mysite.fcgi
