1)
When asked Configure vital settings? [yes] ?, say "Yes" and fill in the 
details
Hostname? is the actual address of the web server created above, not the 
public address (we fix that later)
Webserver Port [80] ? is the actual address of the web server created 
above, not the port for the web server (we fix that later)

(ie, you configure eprints with http://eprints.local:8080)

2)
EPrints produces absolute URLs for everything (http://web.host.name/), 
so we need to ensure that the repository uses the correct address. Edit 
archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/cfg.d/10_core.pl
$c->{host} = 'public.host.name.org';
$c->{port} = '80';

3) restart the server & run the various "generate" scripts to rebuild 
all the pages.
