[Workshops] Machine setup

[Tim Schaub]

Sorry if this is asking the obvious, but does Apache get 80 (and will it 
be running)?

I understand the desire to limit what workshops install and run as 
services, but I think it also makes sense to limit the number of things 
that every participant has to click through.

I was planning on writing up instructions for configuring Apache to 
proxy GeoServer on port 80 and set up an alias for the root of the 
workshop folder.

All the OpenLayers material assumes this (http://localhost/geoserver and 
http://localhost/ol_workshop).

I had been planning on walking participants through starting GeoServer. 
  And I had been assuming we'd have an http server running on 80 that 
could get to the workshop folder.
