Here is a quick note/addendum in case someone else is having trouble
connecting the dots on the problem I outlined before (I feel a bit silly
now). The problem I was having goes away with a proper ServerName
setting in apache's http.conf file. Something like: ServerName 123.45.67.89

I need fully qualified URIs anyway so localhost is fine there for me.

just 2 more cents worth,
