This, depending on the added content source, is a virtual location
served either by a proxy-pass directive or a mod_perl application.
IIRC, there should be an example for using Amazon in the docs, but I
honestly don't know exactly where.  Bill or Dan (Scott)?

You'll need to run the autogen.sh script whenever you change org units
(or a few other things).  That will regenerate the static content
that's used to build many UIs.  You should have a set of CGIs
available at

  http://localhost/cgi-bin/config.cgi

(adjusted for your host, of course) that will help you configure the
org unit tree and the user group tree, among other things.  There is
also a Django-based admin module in the works.

Hope that helps...
