[Paraview] paraview web issue

[Sebastien Jourdain]

Apache 2.2 will probably be an issue as WS forwarding was not properly
supported with url rewrite.

You may need to build Apache yourself on that distribution. The one that
have all the fix and is supposed to work is 2.4.7+.

We have some additional documentation about that part here:
