[ome-users] omero web start without hang up

[Björn Quast]

Hi Josh, hi Bernhard,

I think I have to work through my apache configuration, the apache server is 
running with one virtual host and I tried to configure another one for the 
omero.server. 
I guess the configuration of this second virtual host is wrong. It will take 
some time to figure out what is wrong, so I will mail you if I have an idea 
about it.

Thank you for your efforts
Cheers
Björn
