[cobbler] Cannot get everything started on a new buildout

I have two Cobbler Servers - one old one I set up almost two years ago, and another one I am currently trying to build from scratch. 

The problem is that I cannot get the new one started up properly. 

Cobbler 2.2.3 on 64 bit RHEL 5 

Here are some of the problems : 

I am not using RHEL's httpd due to local practice of having multiple "stove-pipe" web stacks on each server. 

The apache instance is in /opt/site/cobbler/data/apache instead of /var/www 
On the old Cobbler, I used RHEL-httpd and sym-linked /var/www/(cobbler/ cobbler_webui_content) to another partition. 

On the old one, I was running everything from the hardware IP 
On the new one, I am using a vhost 

On the old one, netstat says I have one httpd listening on <host-ip>:80, and one listening on 0.0.0.0:443 
On the new one, I have one httpd listening on <host-ip>:80, and one listening on <host-ip>:443 

Both have a listener on 127.0.0.1:25151 (python) 

The first problem is that everything works on the old one and on the new one, I get this: 

[root ~]# cobbler sync 
httpd does not appear to be running and proxying cobbler, or SELinux is in the way. Original traceback:

ProtocolError: <ProtocolError for 10.1.1.134:80/cobbler_api: 302 Found> 

>From the other end, the Web UI comes up but I cannot get past the login screen and I see no errors in the logs.
