Unable to login to server-manager
« on: December 18, 2019, 05:45:45 PM »
One of our clients reports that the server manager web page has stopped working.

On closer investigation what happens is that you get to the login page, enter your login details and it simply returns to the login page. If you enter incorrect details you get a message telling you the details are incorrect. There's nothing obvious in the logs (below)

No updates have been applied to the server (as far as I know), so I'm assuming some files somewhere have become corrupt. Anybody any ideas as to what/where I should be looking?

Thanks

Hi Jean-Philippe,

No, there's nothing in the other logs but I gather that the issue has now been fixed by one of my colleagues and was something to do with the network routing on their server.

Thanks anyway.

Steve
