Hello Hugh,

thanks for your help!!

Well, I am still on rawhide and probably you blame me now for this...

I have the following rpm's installed on my management system:
ovirt-release-0.99-0.fc10.20090422120055gitf5ff067.noarch
ovirt-server-installer-0.99-0.fc10.20090422120059git3ef3335.noarch
ovirt-docs-0.99-0.fc10.20090422120538gitb7cd200.noarch
ovirt-node-image-1.0.1-0.fc10.20090422120528git0fa11eb.x86_64
ovirt-server-0.99-0.fc10.20090422120059git3ef3335.noarch

Note: the /etc/httpd/conf.d/ovirt-server.conf file which comes with the
rpm is wrong. The httpd daemon does not start at all. I have attached it
to this e-mail, that you can have a look.

I 'fixed' (better hacked) it by making the following changes:
NameVirtualHost :80  -> NameVirtualHost _default:80
<VirtualHost :80>  -> <VirtualHost _default:80>
NameVirtualHost :443  -> NameVirtualHost _default_:443
<VirtualHost :443> -> <VirtualHost _default_:443>

With these changes, httpd starts and I have plain http, can login in and
see the dashboard.

If I replace _default_ with 192.168.50.2, I get re-directed to https,
but then after login in, the browser tells me "Redirect Loop
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this
address in a way that will never complete."

So that is one issue. On the other hand, my problem I described in my
previous e-mail seems not to be related to this one here.

Thanks, Ingmar
