How to reboot droplet through the command line / restart apache server
I tried increasing php.ini upload file size. No effect after entering the commands (I found them here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/increase-max-file-upload-size-in-wordpress-using-ubuntu-12-04-lemp-stack). Do I have to restart the server? Please help.

Hello, all
In order to reboot the droplet using the command line you can use these two options:
sudo rebootand
sudo shutdown -r nowThey basically do the exact same thing so using any of them will complete the task.
Generally speaking the shutdown command is more preferable because you have the option to specify the reason for the system reboot, e.g a maintenance. Additional feature is that you can schedule when the system needs to be powered down.
sudo shutdown -r now 'System maintenance'Hope that this helps!
Wouldn’t “reboot” simply been the better answer?
