configuration there. Don't even bother installing the service, that
way you have to use the command line. Once you get a configuration
that works the way you want, send that to your server admin.
If you need to change things between dev and production for some
reason (like you don't have the same directory structure), you won't
be able to load the production conf file on your dev machine.
However, you can run a 'configtest' command on it, and it'll check the
syntax. Not guarenteed to be perfect, but it'll give you a pretty
high level of confidence.
