your log files for mandrake are located under/var/log id check your messages log there first just after you have tried to login. Also check that you have cookies enabled on the browser you are trying to log in with

If i tail -f messages i see events from zm, but no errors or message with reguard to the login.

looking in the http access log i get this.

nope not for me mate lol. I would have thought there would be an error somewhere!, Are you on the live cd as in 1.21.3/4 or the newer mandrive based install cd?

Posted: **Thu May 18, 2006 3:15 pm**

Hi James,

Now this is really odd, the admin password has gone back to admin, so i can now login, have i have had to reset each users password.

very strange.

Regards

Paul

Posted: **Thu May 18, 2006 3:20 pm**

i noticed on your etherreal grab that you sent admin/admin as login details, has it chnaged all passwords or just the admin one?
Id check your db for consistency too but i would have hought youd get other issues first!
I cant see that it simply forgot it!!??

Posted: **Thu May 18, 2006 3:23 pm**

Hi James, yes both users failed to login. Well spotted the ethereal trace did have the real password in, i changed it in the text to hide it.

Regards

Paul

Posted: **Thu May 18, 2006 3:26 pm**

I assumed you had thats why i didnt comment before lol
So it had changed both passwords but not the user names?
Have you checked the db is ok?

Posted: **Thu May 18, 2006 3:29 pm**

not sure what i need todo to check the db is ok, events are still being generated and e-mails sent so i assume it is.

Regards

Paul

Posted: **Thu May 18, 2006 3:36 pm**

mysqlcheck --all-databases --auto-repair -ppassword -u user

should check the db

+ 1 Here

I was lucky running ZM 1.24.2 @ Ubuntu server 10.10 x86 with 55Gb HDD on the old hardware for about 5 days.

An hour ago I was able to login via web console.
And a hour after I tried to login again, and it brings me back to login screen again.

Ok, investigating the problem gave the following:

Am I'm really out of free space?

Code: Select all

$ df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1              55G   38G   14G  74% /
none                  748M  260K  748M   1% /dev
none                  754M     0  754M   0% /dev/shm
none                  754M   52K  754M   1% /var/run
none                  754M     0  754M   0% /var/lock

It stil shows me 14G available..
Anyway, I managed to free some space:

Code: Select all

sudo rm /tmp/*.log
sudo rm /var/log/*.gz
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove

It did some work, and after that I've got:

Code: Select all

$ df /var -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1              55G   38G   14G  74% /
$ df /tmp -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1              55G   38G   14G  74% /

Not looking that I've freed really big amount, but...

IT WORKED!!!

I was able to login to the console again!
Some recent event was missing with 'null/null' value.

May be, php errors about no disk space, were prevenitng the http session to start.

Ok, if it is the FREE SPACE issue, questions are:
1. How do I properly configure the partitions for the ZM prod installation?
2. How to set up debugging / logging level?
3. How to set up rotation and tell ZM to use defined amount of disk space?

Hope, this info help people, who stuck on logon screen.

Dear ALL, please help on remaining questions!

Thanks,
dima_the_chief

Is this yet another PHP5 problem?

Make sure your not out of inodes.. You can easily have plenty of free disk blocks and be out of inodes, and the result is the same.

check with "df -i"
