To use one of my favorite literary quotes: Curiouser and curiouser !
Just to rule out a simple file permissions issue, I looked at the path to the log file:
Here's the before:
drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 Mar 19 15:54 /var
drwx------ 24 root root 4096 May 23 04:02 /var/log
drwxr-xr-x 7 apache apache 4096 May 20 04:02 /var/log/cobbler/
-rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 1234 May 23 09:54 /var/log/cobbler/cobbler.log
So, I do this:
drwxrwxrwx 24 root root 4096 Mar 19 15:54 /var
drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 May 23 04:02 /var/log
drwxrwxrwx 7 apache apache 4096 May 20 04:02 /var/log/cobbler/
-rw-rw-rw- 1 apache apache 844 May 23 09:48 /var/log/cobbler/cobbler.log
and the interface re-appears !
Now comes the weirdness: The interface continues to work/behave after I set the
permissions back !

Thanks for responding, but I am not sure this helps.
Cobbler is run by root.
# ps -ef | grep cobbler
root 4260 1 0 08:23 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/cobblerd
--daemonize
Additional oddities: I can run cobbler at the command line just fine.

`localhost.localdomain' does NOT match server name!?
