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!!!

note that cobbler_web.conf is not installed by cobbler-web, so purging
it won't delete the conf...
