Login failed - web interface

[demetri90]

I had to do a reinstall of Proxmox because I screwed up the partitions, but I got it up again and working fine, except that I can't login to the web interface with the root account, just keeps saying login failed. I'm using Linux authentication, and I can SSH into it using same password. What gives?

Upon further investigation, running the "pvesm list" command yields me

400 Parameter verification failed.
storage: property is missing and it is not optional

Isn't that a quite good error message? You need to specify the storage:

# pvesm help list
USAGE: pvesm list <storage> [OPTIONS]

  List storage content.

  <storage>  string

             The storage identifier.

  -content   string

             Only list content of this type.

  -vmid      integer (1 - N)

             Only list images for this VM

Not sure what the storage identifier is or how I should find out, either way, I'm just trying to figure out why I can't login, is there someway I can run a debug on the CLI while trying to login via web to see whats going on?

# pvesm status

Ok, I tried doing a fresh install once again, configured my /etc/network/interfaces file to support LACP. Everything connects fine, but can't login via the web interface, just says "Login failed - Please try again"

Here's my interfaces file

#auto lo
#iface lo inet loopback

auto bond0
iface bond0 inet static
        address 192.168.10.12
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 192.168.10.255
        gateway 192.168.10.1

        slaves eth1 eth2

        bond-mode balance-rr

        bond-miimon 100
        bond-downdelay 200
        bond-updelay 200

Is there any hint in /var/log/syslog?

Is there any hint in /var/log/syslog?

Using the CLI under root account I get a permission denied.

I think I figured it out, enabled the local loopback interface in the /etc/network/interfaces file and I can login now.

. . .enabled the local loopback interface in the /etc/network/interfaces file and I can login now.

Exact same thing just happened to me. Thanks for the post!
