NEVER EVER EDIT A LIVE DOCUMENT!!!!!
That is Server admin 101, you must have a test server to make these changes on (or at least backup the files before you make a change. We usualy take the file and do a .old at he end ot the date and it makes it easier to rollback if needed.

Never edit live websites!!! We backup our servers to tape and do a rsync to a backup server we have at our office so we have 3 copies at all times, believe me you need to do this.
