The installation for both ODK Collect and Aggregate went very smoothly. I
got tripped up over a very simple thing: failure to set the password. 
( I think the error messages could be better, and perhaps the aggregate
user interface should suggest that the password is a field rather than a
button; UIX issues at most)
Its been months since I had read the instructions, so this might be a good
data point for you all. I documented this, hope its helpful.
Followed instructions at http://opendatakit.org/use/aggregate/ . Got my
coffee on queue.

- After clean install of Collect 1.1.7 from Android Market (after
deleting all forms, and all associated data via application management) - After getting Aggregate 1.0.4 release installed on myserver.appspot.com

- After setting up users in Aggregate user management
/Aggregate.html#admin/permission/// - After using the user credentials I gave above in > settings on
Collect and https://myserver.appspot.com - ODK Collect> Get Blank Form - I get a request for credentials, then a
failure:

- and note Mitch's comments here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/opendatakit/user$20credentials$20/opendatakit/-qKDhWOT20Y/_tvPvp_Ia0IJ - I am able to use the anonymous user to retrieve a list of forms.
- But, why can't I use the user I created?
- Wait, that second input field is "full name" not password. Change
password is a popup after I click on change password button. Doh! - Everything works fine, drink wine.
