Expedition Hangs on first login with gui credentials.

Expedition hangs on the first login using Default GUI credentials using Firefox. It just sits there and spins in the browser

have you tried to update to latest version 1.0.106?

I'm having the same issue.

Also -- when I run:

sudo apt-get install expedition-beta

I get the following message:
expedition-beta is already the newest version (1.0.105).

Is there a 1.0.106 -- and if so, what should I do to install it?

Thanks,

before to run the apt-get install expedition-beta you have to run

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install expedition-beta

Try this:

sudo apt-get autoremove

--> the above will remove any update packages.

Try the update again:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install expedition-beta

Also, after the update is installed you will want to edit the files using the settings below. This may fix your log in issues:

The below change is needed to allow Expedition to import configuration files larger than 5 MB.

PHP:

Edit couple parameters from php.ini located at:

sudo vi /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini

Modify:

post_max_size = 250M

upload_max_filesize = 250M

restart the Apache with

sudo systemctl restart apache2

The below change should resolve your log in error message.

https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/Expedition-Articles/Modifying-mysqli-reconnect-value/ta-p/219223

1- php.ini for Apache

Edit the php.ini file for Apache with the following command

sudo nano /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini

change (you can use the Search feature with ^W)

mysqli.reconnect = Off

mysqli.reconnect = On

Write the changes with ^O and exit nano with ^X

2- php.ini for CLI

Edit the php.ini file for Apache with the following command

sudo nano /etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini

change (you can use the Search feature with ^W)

mysqli.reconnect = Off

mysqli.reconnect = On

Write the changes with ^O and exit nano with ^X

3- Apply the changes

Once the changes are done, apply them by

sudo service apache2 restart

You can't upgrade Ubuntu. You have to restore from a clone or snapshot or rebuild the VM from scratch.

HTH,.

Yeah I learned the hard way. There was also a post by Albert (founder of Expedition) that at this time we should ignore the Ubuntu upgrade.

I just experienced this issue and realized i had mistakenly upgraded to Ubuntu 18.x. I blew the VM away and started over and it works like a charm! Avoid the distro upgrade.
