Restarting Apache (if you use passenger) sometimes does not make desired effect. You can restart Redmine with creating a file:

<redmineHomeDir>/tmp/restart.txt

with content "restart". Anytime you want to restart Redmine, just "touch" this file to change its time-stamp.

touch <redmineHomeDir>/tmp/restart.txt

Redmine will restart at the next page request. This solution can be found on Redmine forums or user blogs (e.g. http://texdex.blogspot.com/2011/03/restarting-redmine-without-restarting.html)
