 * You need to run on the standard port 80 for your web server. Then everything 
   will work.

 * And if you want to run it on an alternate port…. don’t have the port number in
   the URL. Fake a domain in your hosts file, so instead of localhost:50743 you 
   have localhost.dummy . Or whatever.
 * (Mine is amd64.loc, just because.)
