Well, first I'd fix the init.d entry :o
What I've also done, in the past, is to have a second install-set; install
into /usr/test or such (with conf in /usr/test/etc), start it up on a
different non-standard port, and check it; then recompile to go where i
wanted it to be :o
Usually I just install over and do a restart, and then open another
connection to validate the new install before accidentally closing the old
one, but I have daily access to all my machines, so at worst I lock myself
out for a few hours :/

(and the difference with RPM is that, in theory, you might be able to
assume the RPM'll work, so the restart is a valid path)
