Thanks, Joshua.  That, and making sure the FQDN was correct got me on the right path.  I must say, however, that the documentation is not very good and/or well organized; Lots of references to things that are no longer correct.

Do I also have to install the chef-client, or is that included as part of the chef server?

You should install the chef-client omnibus package if you wish to manage this machine with Chef. There is a copy of chef client within the server package, but it should only be used by the server's tooling. 

 Also: I see the services running (for example, chef-server-webui) but cannot access them (http://localhost:4040).  Any thoughts about that?

The omnibus server package puts a nginx load balancer on port 443 that will send you to the webui based on request headers, so just visit it with a browser and you'll see it.
