Good day to you all.
I’m failing at getting this software working properly. I have installed it twice per the instructions. The first time I used a unique username for the admin user and password set via installer command line. The second time I just used the installer without the command line and entered it all interactively. No errors, nothing complains.
Go the web to login and everything looks fine until I enter my credentials and it fails with “invalid username or password.”
Fresh Ubuntu 24.04 images each time. I noticed that there is sometimes a permissions issue that causes this and I tried my best to fix it, but only managed to make Hestia non-functional in the process.
So I’ve reinstalled again. Same issue. My data and sessions folders look like this:
root@nope:/usr/local/hestia/data# ls -al

Anything I might try?
Thanks!
