Hello,

I'm trying to test DogTag server and I'm unable to get the web UI to function. I've installed a fresh fedora server and I'm following the instructions here. When I hit the url https://dogtag.test.org/ca, it redirects me back to root '/' and I get the error:

can anyone tell me what I did wrong? I doubt that the rpm is bad or the install guide is wrong so I suspect that it's user error. I get no errors at install time and I've attempted this about 4 times, always with the same result.

WTF?
