OS: Debian 8 , Apache 2.4 Upgrading from : 3.0.5.4p9 Upgrading to : 3.1.6 After upgrading I'm not able to log in to the control panel. In /var/log/ispconfig/auth.log I'm getting Successful login for user 'admin' from xx.xx.xx.xx at 2017-09-01 12:21:01 but the page just reloads to display login window again Have previously upgraded from :3.0.5.4p9 to 3.1.5 and everything was fine This time tried downloading older versions and downgraded, but only after downgrading to 3.0.5.4p9 I was able to log in to the control panel again. ( downgraded by downloading previous versions, un-tar'ing and running Code: /usr/src/ispconfig3_install/install# php -q update.php Any thoughts how can this version be upgraded ? Strangely enough I made a copy of this VM previously, removed all sites and it did upgrade successfully to 3.1.5 a few months ago. It was the latest stable back then.
Logs At the end of the upgrade I got some errors, but not sure if these are relevant to the situation Code: Restarting services ... Failed to restart courier-authdaemon.service: Unit courier-authdaemon.service failed to load: No such file or directory. Failed to restart courier-imap.service: Unit courier-imap.service failed to load: No such file or directory. Failed to restart courier-imap-ssl.service: Unit courier-imap-ssl.service failed to load: No such file or directory. Failed to restart courier-pop.service: Unit courier-pop.service failed to load: No such file or directory. Failed to restart courier-pop-ssl.service: Unit courier-pop-ssl.service failed to load: No such file or directory. Update finished.
Another interesting observation. Reverted to VM snapshot, logged in to my ISPConfig 3.0.5.4p9 and run the upgrade to 3.1.5 using upgrade.php . After the upgrade refreshed my browser and was still loged in and gui was refreshed to 3.1 look. Managed to change password for user admin succesfully and everything seemed to work untill I logged our. Was not able to log back in.
SOLVED - It was browser caching issue. After clearing cache and current logins and restarting Firefox I was able to log in.
