Well, so much for trying to send a screen shot to the mailing list -- it
prefers plain text (smile.)
I did fix the problem and log in successfully. I chown'ed
/var/lib/cobbler/webui_sessions to apache.apache, restarted cobblerd and
httpd, tried to login, and succeeded. I assume this means that
/var/lib/cobbler and /var/lib/cobbler/* has to be owned by apache.apache.

Hello!
Several days ago, I downloaded cobbler from github and 'make
install'ed it. I then played around with doing this
http://blog.milford.io/2012/03/getting-a-basic-cobbler-server-going-on-ce...
...but it seems focused on an older version of Cobbler, and I have not
had success in getting logged in to the cobbler_web interface. Perhaps
I'm wrong.
Next, I restored the cobbler_web.conf file that my cobbler build
produced, and reran htdigest according to the Cobbler wiki
instructions at
https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/wiki/Cobbler%20web%20interface
I have not added any distros or repos or other content yet to the
cobbler implementation on this machine.
I then attempted to log in to the web interface for the first time. I
was able to enter my username and password with no trouble, but it
died at this screen (only a part of which is shown):
That directory ( /var/lib/cobbler/webui_sessions ) is owned by
root.root. I assume it needs to be owned by apache.root. Is this correct?
Does the entire directory tree starting at /var/lib/cobbler have to be
owned by apache.root?
Thanks!
