I am a very experienced Java/J2EE programmer - however I have never had to do any of the system administration ... I just built the WAR and EAR files and someone else took care of the rest. Therefore, I am going to be asking some really basic admin questions for a while.
After spinning my wheels trying to build my own Linux Virtual Machine with all of the necessary components for Roller, I punted and downloaded a pre-configured Bitnami VM. Naturally, it didn't solve all my problems. Problem #1: I can upload image files just fine, but when I embed them in a post the URL is based on localhost. Of course, this means anyone hitting the blog will be looking for the images on their own machine ... <BOOM! ... smoke smoke smoke> I'm sure there is some simple configuration file that needs an entry updated, but for the life of me I can't figure it out.
