Unable to access frontview

Hello!

I've fiddling around to get my wordpress running and I may have broken access to frontview in the process, that or the latest upgrade broke it.
apache-ssl runs under www-data user and group.

I was first presented with:
(13)Permission denied: /frontview/ui/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable
which i solved by chmod 755 then
(13)Permission denied: /frontview/ui/resource/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable
which i solved by chmod 755 then

etc

The errors i'm getting now is the following
user root: authentication failure for "/admin": Password Mismatch
authentication failure for "/shares": Password Mismatch

I'm out of ideas and hope someone can shine some light on this issue.
My blog is working perfectly running wordpress, the frontview doesn't work.

Thanks in advance
Johan Nilsson

    No there's no /etc/pam.d/pwauth file on my system.

    Not sure what you've done to cause the problem from the information you've provided.

    Have you tried an OS Re-install?:

    touch /.os_update

    Then either use the reboot command or shutdown safely pressing power button twice. Then power on again.
  • Thanks for you input!
    Wouldn't an os reinstall break my wordpress install among other things?
    As it is now, everything is working peachy except frontview.

    The last thing I remember doing was to upgrade the firmware to 4.2.20.
    Before that I installed some custom packages php etc to get wordpress going

    Quite possibly.

    Still would be of help to have a list of the commands you entered.
