Unable to login to admin - Login Loop

Community Support
1

Hi All,

I’ve had this problem before, but the previous fix does not work this time round. I basically returned from holiday and noticed one of my sites was down, I could not find the issue and restarted the VPS, then couldn’t login to the WebUI under admin.

I’ve tried to reset password - no good
I’ve checked the VPS - there’s plenty of space
This is what I tried before and it worked perfectly - Unable to login to admin following latest update

nginx-error log shows:

I’m really stuck this time - Hestia has been fine for years, but since 1.9.2 it’s gone a bit squiffy.

Not really related to hestia, your disk seems to be full…

disk
disk777×278 14.7 KB

I did see that in the log, but the disk is not full…

Show the output of these commands:

grep -i quota /etc/fstab
repquota -s -a -O csv | awk -F',' '$5 != "0K" {print $1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$7}' | column -t

I did find a fix for the issue which was - [Bug] Redirect to enter username page after enter password · Issue #4748 · hestiacp/hestiacp · GitHub

But I’d like to find out why this keeps happening

You have added a quota of maximum 10GB to user hestiaweb, and this user is using more than 46GB so the OS doesn’t allow to write anything using the user hestiaweb.

I’m wondering:

1.- Why hestiaweb user has a quota?
2.- Why hestiaweb user is using 46GB?

You could remove the quota for user hestiaweb or raise it.

I’ve not added a quota to hestiaweb. From recollection, this was added with the 1.9.2 update?

I did notice that when I ran - grep -i quota /etc/fstab repquota -s -a -O csv | awk -F’,’ '$5 != ", it didnt show all the accounts on the server - theres probably 3 missing - could they somehow be all under hestiaweb, hence why its 46gb?

I’ll try and do some research on how to lift the quota.

It only shows users that are using quotas.

I don’t think so. At least doesn’t appear in any upgrade script.

This will remove quotas for user hestiaweb:

setquota -u hestiaweb 0 0 0 0 /

This will raise quotas for user hestiaweb to 55GB:

setquota -u hestiaweb 57671680 57671680 0 0 /

hestiaweb is used exclusively for Hestia related functions… or at least, it should be.

Run this to get the list of the 30 largest files owned by the hestiaweb user:

sudo find / -path /proc -prune -o -user hestiaweb -type f -print0 2>/dev/null | du --files0-from=- -ch | sort -h | tail -n 30

It’s Hestia account backups

That makes sense. So, either remove the quota or increase it to suit your needs.
