[opencms-dev] mod_proxy setup problems

Well, in case anyone is actually interested in the future, it appears I was
correct.  The war file was not correctly unpacking everything.  I completely
wiped the ROOT dir and redumped the war file out there twice this
time(making this 3 times total).  The first time I dumped the file,
completed the initial setup and had the same results as my first go
around(no worky - sites/default structure missing).  The second time it
appears to have worked and the entire directory structure was built.  I'm
not sure what caused the failures though.  I never changed any file
permissions between installs and was always logged in as the same user(root)
during install.  Now I just have to figure out the static export stuff (all
the static based images for the toolbar in the sys admin site are all
jumbled up).  Minor details.
