Cant Login to WebGUI but can on SSH

[dustinwloring1988]

A few days ago I was on my cluster and it was working fine. Today after work I tried to login to the WebGUI but it failed so I tried restarting the computer same thing happened. I then deiced to SHH in and it let me, any ideas. This happened a few months ago but thought I just forgot the password.

Has anyone had this problem or any suggestions? Thanks in advance


I have a 3 node cluster all running the same version. (latest with all the free updates)

Hey,

could you take a look at journalctl -b -u pveproxy and post the output here? Are any errors shown during boot(if you have physical access to the server)?

Thanks for the quick reply.
There are no errors once I ssh in. Below is the journal:

Do you have the correct realm selected? Does the JS console show any errors?

 

[dustinwloring1988]

Yes the correct relm is set and no JS errors. The only error I get is the popup
"
Error
Login failed. Please try again
"

UPDATE:

I tried to login on my PVE4 server same results as above. I then tried PVE3 and it worked, so I am able to do everything to the other 2 nodes except login to them?

can you SSH between the nodes? e.g. from PVE3, try to ssh to PVE4.

it might be that they have different passwords for root@pam. which user are you trying to login as?

UPDATE - FIXED:

Sorry for the late reply I was at work all day.

So they all had the same password.

Once I was able to get into PVE3 I was able to click on the others on the side and once I updated from there it magically worked.

Don't get me wrong I am happy that it works now, but any idea what would cause this. As it is not the first time and in the past I just had to wipe the servers and start over.

glad to hear that it works.
i'm not sure what could have caused the issue, if it happens again then please attach the full journal files here.
