Login screen = white screen

[Line Yoble]

Hello,

Yesterday, my DA very last version (1.33.6) worked fine.
Today, when I want to login (port 2222 as usual), the login screen is a blank white screen. Nothing inside !

The only change I have done yesterday is the following :
- I had a main site which was only accessible via http://<my_ip>/~admin, set as the default site (because the DNS servers of the domain pointed towards another web server and I had to tune the new web server before switching to it).
- Yesterday evening, I have changed the DNS servers of the domain associated with this site and now, I can access my site on my new server through the standard way (http://www.<my domain>)

I don't understand the link, if any, between this change and my DA problem.
But today I can no more login.

So, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,
Check the following file to see if your IP has been black listed for failed login attempts.

/usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/ip_blacklist

If it is remove it. Then it would be a good idea to raise the number of login attempt failures to 30 or 40.
WHY? If you leave Direct Admin idol and your session times out, and then you click a link in DA; every image in DA will count against your IP as a failed login attempt. Then you may get the error you reported.

Another possibility is that DA service is not running.
Try: # service directadmin status
You should see something like this: directadmin (pid 28122 26601 25930 24476 23873 11358) is running...

Good luck -Jason

Thanks a lot Jason !
Just after posting, I got a DA email saying an IP address was black listed.
Opening the ip_blacklist through SSH, I found my current IP address.
So, I removed it and the login worked fine again just now.

But of course, I didn't understood why my IP address was blacklisted.
So, your explanation was welcome.

Thanks again.
