[ome-users] Cannot see images (big damage recovered...)

[Mario Valle]

Ta da!
There are two enties for image_server_url!

ome=# select image_server_url from repositories;
          image_server_url
------------------------------------
 http://horus.cscs.ch/cgi-bin/omeis
 http://horus17/cgi-bin/omeis
(2 rows)

I cannot delete the 2nd line nor change it to have the same value as the first one.
So I simply updated it to an alias of the host name.

Ugly, but works.

Thanks to all!
