View Full Version : WebAdmin Not Accepting Default Login of Admin/Admin

My webadmin will not allow me to login using the default Admin/Admin. I have never changed,added or deleted any user info. I tried adding to command line but nothing. I do not have a XAdmin.ini either. So, I need to know WHERE the Admin login and Password are stored so I can change or add Admin/Admin to it. This is a fresh copy of Linux Dedicated server patched to 2166. I have changed nothing but bEnable=true and ListenPort=80. I started it with ./ucc and it is running fine. Just can not login to WebAdmin. Though the login screen is there. I have looked in the forums but havent found this specific problem from a clean unaltered install.
Thanks

if you are not used thr XAdmin.AdminControlIni you have to set the adminname and adminpass on the commandline (only adminpass is important in that case)

Thanks for the reply. I have tried that earlier and it doesnt work. I have read in another post that the command line option is no longer valid in the updated version. I will check the XAdmin.AdminControlIni out though.

Thank You

I am lost on this one. I ran the Linux Demo server for a long time and webadmin worked fine. I just installed the full Linux server and started it. Webadmin wont log me in. I have tried many things to no avail. I have no Xadmin.ini and I tried the XAdmin.AdminControlIni but, I dont see that file anywhere either.
New Install Perhaps? If I just knew where to change the user and password it should work. But, I am lost.

I just did another fresh clean install , updated via loki and I am running it now. Set ListenPort and Enabled WebAdmin. Will not allow login using Admin/Admin.
Your suggestion for running it in the command line. Does it matter where? I mean before "-nohomedir" I assume. Here is the script I made up. But, what would the "exact wording" be? I have seen three different versions. Thank You

#!/bin/bash
while true
do
./ucc server DM-Antalus.ut2 -nohomedir

sleep 5
done

Man, Yes that will work. Thank You very much for your post. Sorry to bother you with such petty issues :)

I had this problem as well. I changed the admin password, but then tested it out and blam, it didn't work. Luckily I tar'd and bzip'd the dedicated server directory before changing the password (very easy to reinstall). Reinstalled, and ended up running it using the Admin/Admin for a long time. But then I updated to 2166, and then even Admin/Admin didn't work. Tried the password for the Linux user account that is running ucc, and this worked. Haven't a clue why, but it does.. :thumbsup:

Oh yeah, I updated to the Evolution Pack 2 as well..

What worked for me was this command line. It wrote the Xadmin.ini file in"System" dir (which was missing from the install)with default login of "Admin/Admin". If I put ?AdminName=blah?AdminPass=blah in the command line I could login to webadmin but, I only had limited access. So using this startup script allowed me full admin access to add users and priorities etc.!!!

#!/bin/bash
while true
do
./ucc server DM-Antalus?game=XGame.XDeathmatch?AccessControl=XAdmin.AccessControlIni -nohomedir

sleep 5
done
