Web Frontend login issue 6544

[masim1984]

Mythtv webfrontend setup asks for password. It's a fresh install of mythtv 0.28. The admin/mythtv isn't working. I have to tried to change it from mythconverg mysql database, but still it doesn't work. in mythbackend logs I see invalid username log whenever I try to login from admin/mythtv into http://myip:6544 and to setup pages. I hope I am posting issue in the right forum.

Hi,

The output of this please:

Code: Select all

curl -H Accept:application/json <yourBE>:6544/Myth/GetSetting?Key=HTTP/Protected/Password\&HostName=_GLOBAL_

(unless you're Kai on the mailing list where we already discussed this.)

If the password is 'mythtv' then the output will be:

Code: Select all

{"String": "8hDRxR1+E\/n3\/s3YUOhF+lUw7n4="}

Also, please post the full error message from the log.

Thanks for the reply

curl -H Accept:application/json localhost:6544/Myth/GetSetting?Key=HTTP/Protected/Password\&HostName=_GLOBAL_

i got following output on terminal

{"String": ""}

String response is empty.

In mythbackend log i get following error when i try to login on setup pages in myth webfrontend.
Authorization attempt with invalid username

I expected to see a much longer message in the backend log, e.g.
one that starts with a date/timestamp. That would identify the
program firing the message.

The output of these two please:

Code: Select all

curl -H Accept:application/json localhost:6544/Myth/GetSetting?Key=HTTP/Protected/Urls\&HostName=_GLOBAL_
curl -H Accept:application/json localhost:6544/Myth/GetSetting?Key=DBSchemaVer\&HostName=_GLOBAL_

The output of this may help (me):

Code: Select all

SELECT * FROM users;

masterbackend and local backend IP were different.
I made them same,this solved the issue for me.
though still curl response is empty, but login with admin/mythtv is working fine now on the setup pages.
Once again,Thanks.
