Hi I am in the process of setting up open id for my website and there  
is one thing that I just cannot figure out.

When I run it on my development instance I get it working with out a  
problem but when I run it on my production I have a problem with my  
trustroot. This is what I get on the open id provider side.

Not under trust\_root u’[http://127.0.0.1:8000](http://127.0.0.1:8000)’ the trusted root should  
be the domain it’s coming from I assume.  
I suspect this is happening because I am using apache to load balance  
between a couple of mongrel instances. I have been trying to set the  
trust\_root manually but cannot wrap my head around how that is done.

Any ideas?
