Need Koji Server Setup Help

Hi all,

I'm a complete Koji newb and am attempting to get a Koji server up and 
running for internal use, but have run into a number of issues along the 
way, despite following https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Koji/ServerHowTo and 
other similar pages found around the net.  My setup is built atop Fedora 
19, so I had to make several adjustments, such as:
        * access directives for Apache httpd 2.4 (bug filed: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1019323 and wiki likewise 
edited)
        * changed the ssl.cnf for the Koji CA to so that default_md=sha256 
(instead of md5) under the [default_ca] section so that firefox wouldn't 
complain about the trustworthiness of the certificate

I am able to use 'koji moshimoshi' both as kojiadmin and as myself from 
the Koji server as well as my workstation.  I am also able to use the 
Koji-Web using http or https for some basic poking around.  However, if I 
try the login link on the web page, firefox comes up with a message 
stating:

The page isn't redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this 
address in a way that will never complete.

This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept 
cookies.

> From what I can gather via /var/log/httpd/ssl_access_log and
> examination  
of /usr/share/koji-web/scripts/index.py's login function the page
is 
trying to redirect the browser to force SSL (even if already using https 
when clicking on login) and somehow this results in what would be an 
infinite loop except that firefox halts the loop after a dozen or so 
cycles.  I'm rather stumped as to where my investigation should be focused 
at this point however.  Any advice?
