The UI error is probably because the Web UI can't read 
/etc/cobbler/auth.conf ... I've recently added some chmod instructions 
to the Wiki.
Look over all the install instructions on the Wiki again and maybe you 
can find what you missed.

The localdomain stuff appears to be noise, probably from Apache 
webserver using self signed certificates.
