Cannot login on the web administrative server

I have 0.3.0 beta. I installed the dedicated on my server and the client on my computer. When I access http://cristi.brite.ro:4550/ I click that link, and type the correct username / password. Then, it not logs in and asks me again for it. The line looks like this:

Cristi:cristi.brite.ro:5b8d37f6f8804e6b4ec7f59abeeff4cf

I dunno much about my server, all I know it's a Compaq on 32 bits

FIrst, there isn't anything in the web admnistration.

I think there's a web form that you can enter console commands, and if you're lucky it might work.

Second, you need to use the python script armagetronad-password.py that's in the source tarball to change your password. The md5 hash consists of these parts stuck together:

Host+domain of the server + User name + password

If you just generate an md5 hash of the password, that breaks it completely.

After that, there's a setting whose name I've forgotten right now that you have to hit to enable the web server, otherwise after you authenticate it's just going to give you the "remote admin has been disabled" page.

FInally, you need to set SERVER_NAME in settings_web.cfg. I may have moved that to server_info.cfg, try it in both places and see if it works.

Thank you, Lucifer! It now works

In some days I'm up with a server.

Uh, still it not works. How I login, the server crashes.

Yeah, I get occasional crashes with it too. It's best to leave it disabled right now, especially since it doesn't do anything.

It serves resources fine. At least, serving resources doesn't crash my server.
