Web Interface Problem

On one of my standalone servers running 1.4 I can't login to the web interface. In fact the web interface would not even come up. I logged in via SSH and restarted apache so that I can get to the interface now. Even though I can get to the interface it will not let me login, just keeps telling me wrong username/password but the username/password work for ssh. Any ideas short of rebooting the server?

did you configure additional storage types, e.g. NFS.
and this NFS server is offline?
 
Are you saying it's not letting me login because of local storage? This server does not have any remote storage such as iscsi or nfs, it's all local. And what's really odd is I can't get past the login, i.e. it's telling me wrong username or password.

On my other test bed of proxmox servers when I use nfs and it's offline it doesn't give a username/password error, it just doesn't respond. I understand that one.

no, I just point to thread where you had similar issues.

login on the interface works on all systems, so analyze whats different on your setup.

make sure that you run the latest stable version, check logs.
 
Gotcha, have just found this in the syslog.


Jan 18 08:54:47 proxmox proxwww[17883]: login failure: 500 Can't connect to 127.0.0.1:83 (connect: Connection refused)

What should be running on port 83?
 
that's
pvedaemon 21299 root 5u IPv4 171404 TCP localhost.localdomain:83 (LISTEN)
pvedaemon 21301 root 5u IPv4 171404 TCP localhost.localdomain:83 (LISTEN)
pvedaemon 21304 root 5u IPv4 171404 TCP localhost.localdomain:83 (LISTEN)

pvedaemon 21304 root 5u IPv4 171404 TCP localhost.localdomain:83 (LISTEN)

Excellent!!! Now to figure out why it quit running, but at least starting that lets me back into the interface.

try restarting pvedaemon (/etc/init.d/pvedaemon restart).
do you have high load on your server?
 
Yes I restarted pveadmin and all is well again. No load on this server, just one small windows server 2003. As originally stated I had to restart apache to even get to the web interface, so something on this box obviously killed apache and pveadmin, just not sure what yet. Still looking to see if i can find any clues.

Go in via ssh or console and restart pvedaemon and see if you can login, or start pvedaemon.
