Hi Ingmar, please feel free to post user questions here as we have no
users list at the moment (hmm, I should add one).

By default with ovirt-0.98, you have to use https to access the UI,
and there is an automatic redirect from
http://<management-server-URL>/ovirt to
https://<management-server-URL>/ovirt/login. It's possible that is the
problem you are having. Is it possible your apache isn't configured
correctly for ssl?

Take care,
