Changing the sequence of the last two lines in httpd.conf was needed on my system (...) it seems counter-intuitive to me to load the definitions for the add-ons prior to the Shares so I figured this was a sensible change regardless.

You're right there but keep in mind that httpd.conf will get overwritten on Firmware updates. So your changes will get lost in that case. That's why I'd recommend to search for an other solution there. Maybe adding a .conf file named ZZZ_whatever.conf so this would get loaded last or something along these lines.

Yes indeed you can reload without a full re-boot, however I prefer a full reboot as a final check to ensure the system will definitely come up again, better to find out now rather than later !

Of course it's ok to do a reboot as a final check but I find it rather tedious to do a restart after every change to the apache config files ;)

Its also worth noting also that stopping and starting the html service within Frontview will not force a reloading of the httpd.conf file.

Well, no. It will actually restart apache (at least it did for me). However, your current session won't be affected by that. Or in other words: the task you're connected to will only restart after you quit your browser session. And thus you're not going to see any real changes unless you quit and restart your browser.
