[Workshops] Machine setup

[Mark Leslie]

Apache running on port 80 shouldn't be a problem, but having it running 
depends on what else needs the port, and whether we need different, 
conflicting configurations.

Is anyone else planning on binding something non-Apache to port 80, or 
mapping the mentioned paths?
