We need some basic information to help you troubleshoot.  You might also 
find faster responses on irc;  Most of the people involved in the web 
infrastructure are online there.

1. What platform are you using?
2. If not one of the upstream platforms, which web server is your 
platform using?  (probably one of phosphor-rest, bmcweb, or 
phosphor-rest+nginx)
3. When you open up the debugger window in your chosen browser (usually 
the F12 key) then go to the network tab and attempt to log in, what do 
you see?  You should see an attempt to get to the /login url, with some 
kind of error code (maybe 401, maybe 500, maybe something else).  We'll 
need that to help troubleshoot.
4. Is there anything else strange about your setup that you might think 
would contribute to your issue?
5. Are you hosting phosphor-webui from a different machine from the BMC. 
  Depending on what server you are using, there are likely security 
settings preventing cross site scripting that are blocking you.
