DietPi-Software | Allo Web Gui - Upgrade from 6.18 to 6.26 => "Login failed"

[Heroldgray]

• Using USBridge ALLO Sparky SBC (armv7l - Linux DietPi 3.10.38 #22 SMP PREEMPT Fri Dec 22 10:45:41 IST 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux)
• Flashed ALLO Web Gui image downloaded from: https://dietpi.com/downloads/images/DietPi_SparkySBC-ARMv7-Stretch_AlloGUI.7z
• DietPi upgrade process (6.18 > 6.26)
• Result: "Login failed" in ALLO Web GUI login page.(ALLO seems aware of this issue: https://audiophilestyle.com/forums/topic/32132-allo-sparky-usbridge/?do=findComment&comment=1012005).

Extra details

Using SSH console (dietpi-config etc ..) under 6.26 is OK as a workaround but, unfortunately, Web GUI unusable. Thank's for your work.

@Heroldgray
Many thanks for your report. I'll have a look to get this fixed. Since the Allo web GUI was worked on by @Fourdee I cannot guarantee to be able to fix it for v6.27 already, as long as it needs to be fixed in its own code.

To solve now:
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/allo
chmod -R 770 /var/www/allo

Thank's @MichaIng !
I've tried your quick fix (chown / chmod) under 6.26.3 but unfortunately still "login failed" on web GUI after reboot.

• Some logs to monitor ?
• Would you advise me to reinstall Allo Gui (160) ?

@Heroldgray
Okay, so it was not just me. Please try:

chpasswd <<< 'allo:allo'

The user is definitely created with this password, not sure if the web GUI changes something about that somehow, when failing 🤔.

Further testing:

usermod -p 'allo' allo

breaks it again 🤔. Mysterious, no special characters inside, but it fails as well when trying to log in manually with password "allo" then...
... ahh, the given string is taken as encrypted... quite important to know, same for useradd...

Okay chpasswd is the right thing to go with.

Please try:
