Today I found out that my usermin panel wasn’t working. I don’t know what happened, and I don’t know where to search for the problem.
Virtualmin logins work, but when I try to login on usermin, it always returns to the login page, like if the user/pass is wrong…
Where can I look to search for possible problems?
thank you

does anyone know why this is happenning?
I’ve tried to create a new mail user, but I can’t login with that user too…
I don’t know where to look for the error or bug…and didn’t want to make a new install…
cookies enabled ? cookies are required for session access.

yes I have cookies enabled. I was able to login perfectly with virtualmin and/or webmin, but not usermin…
I installed it over again from scratch and now it works…hope it stays that way…
but thanks anyway.If it happens again, i’ll post it here

Where can I look to search for possible problems?
The first place to look is always the logs, regardless of what service is causing problems.
In the case of Usermin, you’ll look in /var/usermin/miniserv.error and /var/usermin/miniserv.log
With the entries from those during a failed login attempt, we’ll be able to guide you to a solution (usually).

Well now it is working fine because I reinstalled everything…
but if anything stops working again, I’ll give it a look.
I searched for any related logs in /var/log, but as I found nothing, I didn’t know what other places to look for…
thank you anyway
