(M4300) Couldn't connect to emWeb, socket failed, 2 No such file or directory

I have a two switch stack of M4300-16x on firmware 12.0.19.12. I am unable to SSH into the stack. I get:

 

Couldn't connect to emWeb, socket failed, 2 No such file or directory Disconnected from <IP> port 22

 

Things I've tried:

 

  1. Rebooted the stack
  2. Disabled SSH
  3. Regenerated RSA/DSA keys
  4. Enabled SSH

 

Any ideas on how to fix?
