Hello. I am using hestiacp in an instance oracle cloud free tier. I recently changed some things and found a number of issues so I decided to reinstall hestiacp. Now when I log in as admin and enter my password it just cycles back to username and asks again for my password. I have changed and check my password via v-change-user-password and v-check-user-password. In /var/log/hestia/nginx-error.log I see “…Permission denied (13) in /usr/local/hestia/web/inc/main.php on line 2; PHP message: PHP Warning: session_start():.Failed to read session data: files (path: /usr/local/hestia/data/sessions)…” . What have I missed?

So v-check-user password doesn’t show any password missmatch error?
Could you please change again your password but using single quotes?
v-change-user-password admin 'hereYourNewPassword'
v-check-user-password admin 'hereYourNewPassword'
And show the output of this command:
ls -la /usr/local/hestia/data/sessions/
What version are you on?
version = 1.8.11
putting quotes didn’t help

does /usr/local/hestia/data/sessions exist?
Yes and it is populated.
