Try clearing cookies
It worked for me

si458 · 2022-07-09T18:21:43Z

@ClickLeft yes you need to clear your cookies sorry!

Because we changed from single domain cookies to subdomain cookies

And sadly the old single domain cookie is still left behind and the server gets confused because the client sends two cookies instead of one!?

I2700I · 2022-07-09T18:50:32Z

Interestingly enough, the issue does not reproduce in FF and Safari, is it a chromium-only case? Chrome and Edge fail the same way.

si458 · 2022-07-09T19:03:20Z

Very weird? Happened to me with firefox, but it's simple to fix thankfully!

Hello .

I confirm the bug. The problem appears on Chrome and Firefox when trying to access by IP address, not by hostname.

Hello .

@uzmanager2 Just simply clear your cookies and away it goes, it's not a bug!

Its Because we changed from single domain cookies to subdomain cookies

uzmanager2 · 2022-07-09T19:16:44Z

I tried logging in with clear cookies but that didn't solve the problem. When accessing through the hostname - the problem does not appear.

si458 · 2022-07-09T19:20:54Z

@uzmanager2 oh yeh crap, accessing via an ip address isn't going to work because of the subdomain cookie!

So sorry about this! I never through about ip access!?

I'll see if I can do a PR to fix this if it's ip based for the moment

As i believe @Ylianst is working on rewriting the web relay for cookies!

But for now it is required to access via a domain name!

Ylianst · 2022-07-09T19:42:17Z

I removed the domain for the cookie as that is not going to work well for many people. I am almost done on the improved version with the fix.

Ylianst · 2022-07-09T20:33:29Z

Just put in the fix, working on releasing now.

Ylianst · 2022-07-09T20:48:50Z

MeshCentral v1.0.50 is published. Cookies and web relay should both work.

openncomp · 2022-07-09T21:27:23Z

Now it works! Thank you very much!

uzmanager2 · 2022-07-09T21:39:18Z

It works! Thank you very much!

Wow, that was quick! I Installed the update, but now the "MeshCentral" service doesn't start at all.

Ylianst · 2022-07-09T22:08:42Z

@ClickLeft Can you provide any hints as to what is going on? Your OS, NodeJS version, any errors in "meshcentral-data/mesherrors.txt"? Can you start MeshCentral manually and see if anything shows up? - Thanks.

meshcentral-data/mesherrors.txt doesn't exist.

Trying to figure out how to start it manually now...

AH, If I run it manually via node meshcentral it works! It's like the service needs to be reinstalled. I tried reinstalling everything, but it didn't work.
