** The *user* Linux account is the account that you use to log onto the
Linux system as a regular user.
** The *root* Linux account is an account that has system administrator
- privileges. On Debian and Fedora you can switch to this account from

your *user* account by issuing the `su -` command and entering the
password for the *root* account when prompted. On Ubuntu you can switch
to this account from your *user* account using the `sudo su -` command

Patches and suggestions for improvement from users of these distributions,
or others, are welcome!
You can add the `--enable-python` option to the configure command
to build Python support and `--enable-java` for Java support.
+If you are planning on proxying WebSockets traffic (see below), you
+can add `--with-websockets-port=443` to specify that WebSockets traffic
+will be going through port 443. Without that option, the default port
+is 7682.

+Optional: Using HAProxy as a proxy
+----------------------------------
+HAProxy can also be used to proxy HTTP, HTTPS, and WebSockets traffic
+as an alternative to NGINX.
+

+and Ubuntu systems, but expect general familiarity with various system
+administration and network tasks. The steps should be run as the *root*
+Linux account, and assume that you already followed the instructions

+
+1. Install HAProxy if not already present:

+[source, bash]
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+apt-get install haproxy

+2. Configure the main Apache instance to listen on port 7080 for HTTP and
+ port 7443 for HTTPS and ensure that it is not listening on ports 80
