pbx in a flash purple openvz web access?

[dswartz]

okay, i must be doing something stupid. i downloaded the template, created the PVM, started it, entered it, ran passwd-master to set a generic password. i then went to the web page, clicked on the admin link and entered my new password. rejected. what am i missing?

CAPS LOCK? Maybe try running passwd-master again. Also try using "maint" as the password.

It was in fact maint (this is the first-level password, before you get the user/password box.) I guess I am confused as to why I didn't see that documented anywhere

It's been quite awhile since I installed my piaf bronze, so maybe this is not a new thing. What I see is: browse to the new install. A box pops up wanting a password (just a password, not a user&password). Giving 'maint' gets me past that. Then, when you click on the Admin tab, you get the user&password box pop up, and *that* one accepts 'maint' and my newly-changed password. I'm puzzled what is popping up the earlier password-only box, and why multiple howtos and google searches haven't revealed the magic 'maint' there? I did finally find someone with the same problem who posted the pathname where the problematic password is: /var/www/html/welcome/.htindex.dat. Again, I *did* do quite a bit of searching, finding quite a few posts here and elsewhere describing how to install pbx in a flash (including the openvz containers), and never once saw a mention of this, nor does passwd-master seem to change this password. Sorry to sound grumpy, but this seems really bogus

I think if you run update-scripts and update-fixes, then set the master-passwd it will set to the correct (your) password.

Mine is working correctly with the correct password. And no, its not documented.

Sigh... Time to quit for the night

This is news to me as well and I built the template. Will check it out.

thanks ward. again, sorry to come off grumpy - i had insomnia and a migraine last night

I just did a purple VZ template install and had the same problem with a login screen to FreePBX admin asking for a password. "maint" works (does not ask for username)

I had already run passwd-master, so it looks like this password is not updated with passwd-master

This just happened to me as well...and it took me quite a while to find this thread...

Man, if you need something done the hard way...I'm your man.
