I encountered that yesterday, too; if you only have one NIC on your
ovirt server (and that should certainly be supported), the httpd config
tells Apache to rewrite http: requests to https:, and the :443 vhost
wants to ProxyPass back to http:

Should be easy to fix, though I am not sure how since I don't know what
lead to the initial overt-server.conf.
