FOLLOW-UP ------------------------ Just to share my experience in case anyone else runs into this...
When I ran through Nitai's tutorial line for line, I still couldn't quite get it working. First off, in his version of Apache, the Apache config file he refers to (where you enter the virtual host) was httpd- vhosts.conf and sitting in a sub-directory of Apache2. In our version (I'm not sure which at the moment since I didn't set up the server), the file was simply httpd.conf, sitting in etc/httpd/conf. Also, where he used 192.168.1.50 in his hosts file, I had to resort to 127.0.0.1 to get it to work. I read this kills the default "localhost" unless you also have a "localhost" virtual host added. Another snag I ran into early on, he used "openbd.local" which I thought was to be replaced in my code by "mysite.com" (the actual domain name that points to my site). WRONG! In actuality, the host name you place here can apparently be anything you want EXCEPT the real domain name. So I changed all my "mysite.com"s to "mysite.local"s just to stick to the naming convention. That got me through. Going to www.mysite.com now gets properly filtered through www.mysite.com:8080 so bluedragon and jsp compiles on my site. I hope this experience helps out some other poor lost google-searcher.
