OK. I did a purge of both cobbler and cobbler-web, and then deleted cobbler conf files and went through /etc/ and /usr/ and deleted anything related to cobbler. I reinstalled cobbler and cobbler-web and now, the conf file points to an area where there actually are cobbler files and I get the login screen on my browser. Yay!
Thanks. Must have been some issue with my attempt to make a downloaded version, after the initial attempt didn’t work. Not sure why cobbler-web didn’t work on the initial install.
In any case, thanks for the help Timo, Greg, and Jorgen!!!

Hi Timo,
I’m using a newly created VM with Ubuntu 14.04, which I did
update/upgrade. I just did a “sudo apt-get purge cobbler-web” and
then “sudo apt-get install -f cobbler-web”.
dpkg shows...
ii cobbler 2.4.1-0ubuntu2
all Install server ii cobbler-common
2.4.1-0ubuntu2 all Cobbler Install server - common files

When I ran dpkg -L cobbler-web, it showed that there should be
files in /usr/share/cobbler/web, but when I look at
cobbler_web.conf (for apache2, which was removed and reinstalled,
so I know it isn’t a lingering file), it references
/usr/local/share/cobbler/web/.
This should be the distro version, right? Should I install some
other version? Any idea why there is a mismatch between what is
loaded and what is being referenced?
So you have a distro version of the package installed, but the
conffile is not. md5sum should be:
60ab948af4f5e1b676c4dbe366fd0a83 /etc/cobbler/cobbler_web.conf
note that cobbler_web.conf is not installed by cobbler-web, so purging
it won't delete the conf...
