As of mid October, suddenly my server stopped serving logins through the login page at https://oostende.nl:2222. I'm sure nothing has changed since I was on holiday at the time the problems started. Everything under the hood seems to work fine, I can stop and restart the DA service, the error log is empty, services are running and I can't find anything unusual in any logfile. Checkin my login.log files, I see this:
# cat /var/log/directadmin/login.log.1
2024:10:18-11:29:27: '84.80.52.128' 1 failed login attempts. Account 'admin'
# cat /var/log/directadmin/login.log.2
2024:10:07-19:30:16: '84.80.52.128' successful login to 'admin'
According to the info at https://docs.directadmin.com/directadmin/general-usage/troubleshooting-da-service.html, I checked the available space on the disk (ok), my IP did not change, I changed the admin password, checked the system clock, I rebooted the server and confirmed the usersdir parameter in the config is set. My server IP is whitelisted.
I can su to the Linux admin user account from an ssh session, and I can login into the DA interface with another user's login, so it has to do with the admin user's credentials within DA itself. Any directions on where to search next?
