Tools to validate Apache config file?

Hi All,



I'm getting to grips with PHP and Apache (on Windows for current 


development, production site will be on Linux), and have a simple (I hope!) 


request.



When you change the httpd.conf file and restart Apache, if you have made an 


error you simply get a popup saying that there has been an error, but giving 


no useful information about what or where the error is (on Windows anyway).



Does anyone know of any tools or scripts for parsing / validating the 


httpd.conf file to track down where the errors are?  Like I said, right now 


my requirement is for something that will work on Windows, though later I'll 


also need something to work on Linux.



TIA,



JON
