Can't Login Keeps giving invalid username or password

Hi
I am trying to install the HUD Lite package on my TrixBox server, but every time I try and login it give me a username and password invalid, I am using my forum username and password which is correct else I wouldn't be able to post this comment.
My server does have internet connection.
If someone could please give me some advice on what is wrong, it would be apreciated.
Thanks

Do you mean when you try to login to the trixbox dashboard and not into HUDLite? "Usually" this error is a bad DNS server setup or bad gateway setting. Instead of trying to login, have you tried to register your system when the pop-up comes up or use the registration module?

I have tried to register with the pop up and the registration and nothing happens, not even an error, I am sure my DNS and Gatway is correct, because I get an invalid username and password which means it is getting through, I have tested it with different settings and it shows no internet connection if the setting are wrong. All I want to do is be able to access the package section on my trixbox to install HUDLite. Is there a way to manually install it without using the package section?
Thanks for the help in advance.

I have the same problem.
On my trixbox' webinterface http://x.x.x.x/maint/index.php?packages
I need to login to see the packages but get an error all the time.
My user/password works fine here on www.trixbox.org

I was able to login until two days ago, when I started to get that message. So I patched trix with tom kings patch http://www.script-trix.us/disablepackagelogon.htm and now it's fixed. This seems to be cropping up a lot lately.
Not a perfect solution, but what the hey.
Same Package Install problem

I am a newbie and are experiencing the same problem. After login to system and invoking the package manager, I get an error that says "Error: the XML response that was returned from the server is invalid. You have whitespace in your response" What the heck is this. All I want to do is install the Hudlite server component. I can login to the forums etc manually fine. Surely would appreciate a response
FYI, check your resolv.conf

This may be a bug, it might not. I just found this post while looking for this same problem I am having with the newest trixbox 2.4 release...
After I installed, I first changed the IP to a static IP using the "netconfig" tool. However after that tool ran, my /etc/resolv.conf file was blank, re-ran it again and got the same thing. Not sure, but it looks like a minor (but annoying) bug. Despite the fact that I entered a valid DNS server, it still leaves the resolv.conf file blank.
So the fix here is to log in to console, and create/edit your /etc/resolv.conf file, adding, at a minimum, a line like:
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
where "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" is the IP of a valid name server you use for your network...
all worked great once I did this...
Same problem

No, mine is a full, clean install on physical hardware.
Username is obviously dibble5504 (10 chars) and password is random lower and UPPER alpha and numbers (8 chars) with no symbols or special characters so I can't imagine that the problem is with the username / password length or complexity.

Same issue

Help, i am getting very frustrated - i too have a valid forum account (otherwise i wouldn't post here!) but logging in on trixbox gives the all too familiar username or password not valid. My DNS is working just fine, as is the gateway - i can ping/dig anything from my trixbox box.
Looks like others have experienced the same problem and appears to be a systemic issue. I am sure that it is based on some configuration - but there is nothing pointing to where to even look. Any debug from the account login? How? No idea.
I did change my default passwords, so am wondering if the account login has to access the db first for some reason; this fails and then it gives the username or password error without even going out to the network. Currently this is my only theory.
Can anyone help????
Thx

Found on another thread:
Filename:/var/www/html/maint/includes/functions/login_functions.php
Line:369 (Home Version: 1.0.0.26)
Find:
if($loginStatusArray[0] == 1)
replace:
if($loginStatusArray[0] == 0)
Please dont forget to make a backup of the file !!
Everyone can thank cak007 for this fix!!! He rocks
On the latest install the line number is different, but located the 'if' and updated the 1 to a zero. Worked a treat and was able to download HUDlite etc.
changing the 1 to a 0 worked

changing the 1 to a 0 worked for me (in 2.6.1 it's about 10 lines further down in the code than stated above..)
Since this has been a bug/flaw for a while, you'd think it would have been fixed by now (or at least, if it's not a bug and only affects certain installs, there would be some documentation about it)
As for the php timeout
Tue, 08/05/2008 - 1:26pm
As for the php timeout comments above - that sounds like a bandaid and not a fix - The only timeouts I've ever had are after the 30 second mark - if it's taking your script longer than 30 seconds to authenticate with the trixbox web database, you've got other problems...
(as always, YMMV)

Have you actually registered

Have you actually registered this particular copy of CE?
Anyway from the console prompt enter 'yum install tbm-phpmyadmin' that will install it for you. Then enter 'amportal restart' this will register phpmyadmin in the trix GUI.
Now that you know how to use yum (it actually gives you feedback as the package is installer) a word of advice. Don't ever yum anything with an all or a -y in it. Always do one thing at a time and know what you are trying to load.
