The docs indicate, as far as I recall, that you should not edit the existing pages directly, rather you should put a copy into a site-local directory (whose location escapes me at the moment, sorry) and make your changes there.  And yes, apache (i.e.mod-perl) or any FastCGI handlers should be restarted after making changes.  There's a configuration variable mentioned towards the end of the RT config file that is described as turning on a check for reloaded pages on every request, but also having a horrible performance impact.  This might be adequate for what you're doing, I don't know.
I know of one technique that you can use, if restarting the webserver is a problem because it's a production server - use a second HTTP server, even FastCGI's trivial http daemon mode, on a different port - and then configure the production webserver to reverse-proxy that set of pages to the other webserver (that's local).  Two copies of apache work, or one copy of (say) apache, and one of lighttpd, or really any combination of a) a web server that supports reverse-proxying, and b) a web server that supports listening on 127.0.0.1:not_80.  The second webserver can thus be restarted over and over again without impacting any other production services running on the primary web server.

hmmm...
It looks like you're supposed to do something like this:
copy share/html/Ticket/Create.html to local/html/Ticket/Create.html
(recreating the directory structure)
I even tried copying all of share/html* to local/html
...but alas, nothing gets updated.

Any advice, please?
