Vesta logs should be located in /usr/local/vesta/log/
to change pwd i used: /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-change-user-password admin mynewpass
for any other errors, i would tail /usr/local/vesta/log/ and also /var/log files

I am trying to install vestacp on ubuntu12.04 from last week but the installation process gets terminated when 'webalizer' starts installing. So I removed the webalizer package from the installation script. Then the whole vestacp installs successfully. I also got the password. But now I am unable to login with that login details. Everytime it shows invalid username and password. I even tried to change the password using "/usr/local/vesta/bin/v-change-user-password admin mynewpass" but I am still getting the same error.

I recently had similar problem and i solved by using the UNIX command passwd

root@ip-xxx-xx-xx-xx:/# passwd admin
Enter new UNIX password: 
Retype new UNIX password: 
passwd: password updated successfully
root@ip-xxx-xx-xx-xx:/#

Replace the word admin with your vestaCP username
