Changes to the LIVEcommunity experience are coming soon... Here's what you need to know.
I don't think there is a way to do this? But the issue in this thread ended up being a result of a database issue and mysql being down. If you are experiencing the same issue it's best to contact the fwmigrate team for assistance.
If you find yourself forgeting the password for the Web access, you can reset the "admin" password via CLI.
To do so, simply execute the following script from CLI:
expedition@Expedition:~$ php /home/userSpace/utils/restore/restoreAdmin.php
✓ Connected successfully to the database
✓ Admin user found
✓ Admin password restored to: 'paloalto'
We are trying to run this command, but we get this error:
expedition@ukdc1-pm-exp01:~$ php /home/userSpace/utils/restore/restoreAdmin.php
Could not open input file: /home/userSpace/utils/restore/restoreAdmin.php
expedition@ukdc1-pm-exp01:~$ php /home/userSpace/utils/restoreAdmin.php

Any Ideas?
This feature to restore the Web Admin password is available from 1.1.11.
Make sure you update Expedition to the most recent version.
I am still getting that error as well.
expedition@pan-expedition:~$ php /home/userSpace/utils/restore/restoreAdmin.php

I can see that your log points out that the database is not available.
The users credentials are in the database, and if we do not have it running, it can't validate them.
The issue seems to be in the tc.log file. It may have got corrupted at some point (no big deal) and it can access it.
Try deleting the file
sudo rm -f /var/lib/mysql/tc.log
and afterwards, try starting mariadb again.
sudo service mysql start
Later, if MariaDB started correctly, just check if you can log into the GUI with your normal credentials. If it still fails, then try restorning the admin password with the CLI script
php /home/userSpace/utils/restore/restoreAdmin.php
I've been getting this as well.
Your suggestion definitely allowed me to start MariaDB and log in to the GUI, thanks; but seems Expedition is corrupted "Remote Exception" with no additional detail as soon as I log in, and much of the dashboard and all of the Internal Checks is broken.
Thanks anyway, looks like I'll have to rebuilt.
We could check the apache error logs to see if there is something more that we should check.
Could you check if you have errors in
/var/log/apache/error.log?
Cannot login to Expedition GUI. Have not changed the admin password. The php script referenced to reset admin password from the cli does not exist in expedition (there is no "restore" directory). I have run sudo apt-get install expedition-beta. Still cannot log in to gui as admin with default password. I've restarted the browser and have also tried "sudo service mysql restart. Still cannot login to gui as admin with default password.
