Infinite redirect.

[Mike]

Ed,

That fixed it.

Committed to the repo below.

Still fails to start the service without /var/log/redfish

Adding -DBMCWEB_ENABLE_REDFISH_DBUS_LOG=ON will fix it. Otherwise someone might consider modifying event_service_manager.hpp to create the file when missing.

 I still can’t l ssh to port 2200, but my goal is to add pmbus sensors and the webui will do for that.

Anyone that wants to get raspberrypi4 running can use the repo below and it’s Readme. It will get it compiled and the webui up. Mainly is just working config files and a readme with every command I used including making the image.
