V5 OLS Manager Login Fails

[backpackingseries]

Hi,

I installed a new Ubuntu 22.04 OLS server on Linode. After upgrading all packages and rebooting the server, I then made PHP 8.1 as the default version. At this point, I have no website on the box.

When I install OLS webserver manager by providing a username and password, it installation itself is successful and I can see the WPCD screen for it as below (username and password are masked in the screenshot):

But I am unable to login to the OLS manager using the set of credentials - says invalid credentials as below

What could be possible reasons? Am I missing something here? Does the password field not allow certain characters - I ask because I had created a random password using Lastpass password generator.

Lastly, for such scenarios, I am not sure whether it might be a good idea to have an option to update the OLS manager password inside WPCD admin screen or simply do an uninstall and a re-install the OLS webserver manager?

File used: [wp-cloud-deploy-V5.0.0-Beta07] from WPCD account / downloads.

Kind regards,

It is likely that the problem is special characters used, try to generate a password without special characters and see if it will work. PS: I did the test here and it worked without special characters.

Thank you @osidney Yes, I too can confirm it works without special characters in the password.

It will help to have a note in there on the WPCD screen to specify which characters are not allowed.

Yeah, a note there is a good idea.
