end
service "apache2" do
case node['platform_family']
when "rhel", "fedora", "suse"
service_name "httpd"
# If restarted/reloaded too quickly httpd has a habit of failing.
# This may happen with multiple recipes notifying apache to restart - like
# during the initial bootstrap.

14. DevOps for Mobile - Challenges
 Fragmented Platforms
 HTML5, PhoneGap/
Cordova still cannot fully
replace native Apps in
every situation
 App stores add additional
asynchronous deployment
