It's actually the "suggested configuration." :) Aleksandra has put
together a configuration page for disabling the built-in web server and
using mod_python. This is especially useful for those who are interested
in using OMERO.web in anger. Now available here:

http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/documents/data-management/omero4/server/install-web

Any feedback on your experience using that documentation would be very
valuable.

I'm just in the process of linking this documentation to the UNIX and
Windows install pages.
