There are a few things. The main thing was that as I thought I was instructed on at least one screen, I was looking in koha-conf.xml for a username and password not offered in that file. Given that I did not recognize that the administrative account for a library identified as "monastery" would be "koha_monastery" and the password was such as one would obtain by running koha-passwd, I spent a lot of time trying to log in.
I think at least partway through I had two conflicting (possibly partial) installations. There may have been other things too, but I don't remember doing anything heroic to fix them. I think it was mostly a case of my barking up the wrong tree for credentials...
