Re: Running Roundup on RedHat 7 Enterprise

I have some progress to report!

When I replaced this line in the Apache virtual config file
ProxyPass /support/ http://drcweb-prd.oit.umn.edu:8080/support/

To this:
ProxyPass /support/ http://localhost:8080/support/
<http://drcweb-prd.oit.umn.edu:8080/support/>

It started to work.  I noticed that when I used the server's DNS name, the
proxy requests were made to 127.0.1.1:8080 instead of 127.0.0.1:8080 for
some reason.  This led me to use "localhost" instead.

Now I will try to set up an https connection.
