The bin install is a no go since the original install was rpms.  I'm going to just have to figure it out.  I've looked through the logs after the install and don't see any smoking guns.  ideas?  to recap:  navigating to events or infrastructure after the upgrade yield the unable to connect to server error.  all daemons are running.

yeah i did the cookies thing and actually tried it from a few different boxes.  I attached the error although it's generic. 

One more thing I discovered is when looking at "monitoring templates" by "device class", the only thing that shows up is AWS and HTTP

internet explorer has this error when processing the page.

well that helped some.  I can now see monitoring templates and more stuff loads under "infrastructure" before it pukes.  still nothing under events.

I'm working on removing 3rd party zenpacks to see if that helps.  here is the zope debug:
