Partial Success!
I have figured out how to get Joomla to install on a service where the front-end device handles the HTTPS/SSL encryption and proxies back to a web server that is only on port 80...
I used Apache's mod_substitute to process the outgoing content and replace any output occurrence of http://site.name with https://site.name
In the Apache config, inside the <VirtualHost> block, it looks like this...
AddOutputFilterByType SUBSTITUTE text/html
Substitute "s+http://trailb+https://trailb+niq"
(In my case, the site name begins with "trailblazer", and 'trailb' is unique enough to match on only it.)
That has allowed Joomla5 to install.
I still have the issue with fpa-en.php not working. My browser still reports "page isn't redirecting properly". So something else is going on there.
