Okay...this was the winning piece of advice....the server.conf file had only 
the commented out blank IP entry in it so I manually added an uncommented IP 
with the private IP of my server.  codaserv now is running...

now I am off to learn more about using CODA as an admin and a user...

Thank You,
Mike Lanham
