proxwww Login problem

[olma]

Hi,
I have a problem logging in through the webinterface.
I can SSH with my l/p, but no login possible via Proxmox webinterface.
No errors were given.
Running Proxmox VE since months,this error appeared today the first time.

apache2 error log states:

[Thu Apr 21 09:46:35 2011] [error] No key 'destination' found in form data

syslog entry:

Apr 21 09:46:16 testhost proxwww[12423]: Starting new child 12423 
Apr 21 09:46:21 testhost pvedaemon[7585]: PAM auth failed: Authentication failure
Apr 21 09:46:21 testhost proxwww[12423]: login failure: Basic authentication failed

What's wrong and how can I fix this?

Hi George,

I can't tell you if there's a solution for this problem, because no one answered my last post in this thread.
But I think it's a problem with the authentication (cookie from apache).
Result: I couldn't fixed it. Did a fresh install after securing my VMs through SSH.

If you find a solution for this problem, please be so kind and post it here. Thanks!

What web browser do you use (try with another one)? Cookies enabled?

 

[George]

Issue is fixed, but I can't tell you exactly solution
it started to work after 3-4 hours after I left the server

I tried everything - rebooted server, changed root password many time, added one more account with root gid/uid, even started to learn perl
Tried almost from all browsers I have - chrome, firefox, IE from my ubuntu and from other windows host
Cleared cache, cookies, even tried Chrome Incognito mode - all the same.
It accepts the password but returns me to logon page - If I provide wrong password - msg box popups about wrong login/pass.


Anyway - it is working now, and I even have no chance to repeat issue now. It was some temporary issue.

I too am experiencing the same issues. I'm not sure exactly what is going on. I've left mine for days though and I'm still in the same position. I can login fine to the machine via SSH, but I can't login to the web interface. I really don't want to have to reinstall the server. However in my instance I do NOT have any errors about cookies in my apache logs. My logs are only squawking about a favicon.ico missing which should be of no consequence . I have no idea why I can't login to the interface. It only did this after I did an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade .

all storages online? check your storage definitions.

 

[George]

Hello all.

I could reproduce issue and get is SOLVED
in my case problem was in local firewall (iptables).
I configured it - and forget to allow localhost,
so, I guess, ProxMox could not communicate internally to check password ?

hope this expierence will save time to some one

I cannot reach my webinterface.
Last night I pulled the plug on a unused (but configured) NFS that was connected to Proxmox.
Is that the cause?
How do I reset this?

Thanks!

yes

How do I reset this?

reconnect the NFS.

Or manually unmount the NFS share.

 

[Erwin123]

umount.nfs: /mnt/pve/NFS1-Backup: device is busy

Are there any magic spells to convince him to umount?

There are still programs accessing that share (list with 'lsof').

I ran into this and found the 'bookmark' in my browser had stuffed

https://node3.../nrd/LOGIN

in the URL. That fails with the error.log "No key 'destination' found..."
and reloads the login page.
By removing the "nrd/LOGIN" in the url, it works fine.

I am having this problem also. Updated Proxmox last week to version 3.2.4 and didn't have any problems last week. Today I come in and I can SSH, but I can't log into the GUI. All the NFS are online to other devices and appear normal. I don't know the commands to check from the SSH to see what might be going on.
