[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Setting up Branches

[Don McMorris]

Turns out I don't have the VMWare image put in place yet (recently
re-did my computer and lost it).  Until I get the image downloaded
again, I would suggest checking the Apache logs.  Depending on how it
was actually installed, it may be /var/log/apache2/error_log or
something else.
