Hey guys, I really don’t now how to diagnose this. I tried adding ‘person1’ to let’s say community.joinpgn.com so the login will be…
username: person1.community right? (Remember I have the default settings).
And then the password will be ‘blahblahblah’
However I keep getting the wrong password no matter what I try. if I login with the main admin’s password, in this case like…admin1 as the username for (joinpgn.com) then it works.
How exactly to diagnose this depends on the distro you’re using and how you’re trying to log in (email, ftp, etc)… however, to see what username you should be using, you can look by going into Edit Mail and FTP Users. In there, you’ll see a column named “IMAP/FTP login”. You can use that to verify that the username you’re using is correct.
Yeah everything is right. When I make a new account I can ftp using that admin’s account. But when I create a ftp user or website ftp user, the password is always wrong no matter what. Is there a place where I can check what the saved password is other than the ‘show’ button?
The “show password” button is how you’d determine what the password should be.
If you want to diagnose the problem, you’ll need to look in the logfiles. Which logs to look in depends on the distro you’re using, but in /var/log. you’d want to start by looking at either “secure” or “auth.log”… those should give some details as to what’s going awry when you attempt to log in.
I believe you that you’re getting the password correct, there’s likely something else going awry, though I’m not sure what yet… can you log in using another means, such as through Usermin?
I have the exact same thing happen - on a plain vanilla virtualmin installation under Centos 5.5.
One thing I notice is that while the main server owner always gets ‘FTP & SSH’ enabled, any additional FTP user only has FTP enabled, and I can’t seem to figure out how to enable SSH for all additional FTP users. There’s got to be a means to do that, right?
This seems to be specific to centos 5.5. All the users on this thread are using it as well as I. I’ve been trying to get this ftp thing worked out for days now. I don’t have much to add to what has already been said except for…
When I create a virtual server, I can log in to ftp using that domain and password that is assigned to it, but none of the virtual server ftp users can log in. Always getting authentication failed.
