Did this, although unsure exactly what you mean by "reload webserver". I
did a killall -USR1 httpd. Is that what you mean? Does it have to be site
admin or can I do it as server admin?

I got an error with the above: Network connection refused by server.

Any ideas?

netstat -l shows ssh listening.
