This installed correctly however I cannot log into the webui using
admin and my password.  I was prompted for webui admin password and
the password was updated in /etc/chef/webui.rb correctly, but when i
try to log into web ui, all i see is
  "Could not complete logging in."

my password is alphanumeric, so no wacky characters

The /var/log/chef/server-webui.log doesn't report any errors

I did get one error during install to the console

Setting up chef-server-webui (0.8.6-8) ...
 * Starting chef-server-webui
                                    ~ In 5352

                            [fail]
 ~ Failed loading ChefServerWebui (404 "Object Not Found")

but the webui came up fine.  I've restarted the webui server, no error
but still no luck logging in.

I'm installing on a fresh ec2 instance ami-1515f67c, which is the
official karmic ami AFAIK

P.S. I also 

 
 but still no luck.

Feedback on installer: When entering new passwords during installer
that are shadowed to the screen, i suppose it's standard practice to
have confirmation input to ensure password wasn't fat fingered, as
annoying as it is to enter passwords twice.
