I think the server did save things--no problem there.  It wrote a new 
configuration-table.  It even populated 
/Users/gknauth/test/plt/web-server/default-web-root with:  conf/  
htdocs/  servlets/

This was the clue I needed.  I created a virtual host entry plt.local, 
created a NetInfo entry for plt.local (Mac-speak for /etc/hosts), 
restarted the web server, went to http://plt.local:8500, and voilà, it 
worked.  More precisely, it told me I had no index.html in my brand new 
htdocs, so I had to go make one.  But otherwise it worked.

Noted.  I'll worry about that creek when I get to it.  Thanks all for 
your help.
