Loop through login page

Expected Behaviour:

Log into PiHole Web UI and be able to manage the PiHole

Actual Behaviour:

login page is always shown no matters if password is right or wrong. changed many passwords even without special characters to exclude keyboard layout (i.e. aaaaaa). the only way i can login is without password.
Filesystem is not full.

  • Pi-hole [v5.11.4]
  • FTL [v5.16.1]
  • Web Interface [v5.13]

php 7.4.30
I suppose (but not sure) it started just after an apt-get upgrade

Debug Token:

https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/ne1axJfO/

Perhaps unrelated to this problem, but noted in your debug log - your DHCP server is not distributing the IP of Pi-hole as DNS server.

      dns-server: 192.168.0.2
      dns-server: 88.149.128.12
      dns-server: 88.149.128.22

Your Pi-hole is active at this IP:

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Setup variables
    IPV4_ADDRESS=192.168.0.115/24
    PIHOLE_INTERFACE=eth0

Thanks,
This sounds weird since:

need anyway to go deep into this.

by the way, as you say, should not be related.

Run pihole -r and select reconfigure to get Pi-hole configured for the active interface and IP.

Did you try different browsers? Do you use any browser plugins?

It was related :grin:
Reconfiguring fixed login issue

Thanks man!
