Sorry,  I was trying to use something other that 127.0.0.1 that all
machines desired to could use.  The 127.0.0.1 would work for the catalog
except when trying to check-out.  The only time I could get it to work
with it was when I was running a web browser on that machine.  I tried to
change it to multiple IP's or host names for https://... which I could
only get the one to work.  I interpeted the https://127.0.0.1/... as
meaning that the machine I was running the browser from did not have a
webserver running on localhost which I did not.

I did not know you could do that.

Thanks, I think my solution is to have only one location do the check-out
and have localhost or 127.0.0.1 be where the catalogs are run.

Thank you for your responses.
