Hello, I am new here and I did a search but this is kind of hard to find any information for.
I have a vps that I run, two IP's running a few sites. Recently out of no where it seems, none of my php/mysql sites will log into with user names. I will try to explain as best I can.
I tried to install owncloud, and changed the user on that to www-data. but owncloud, was able to sign in and then use it. I then signed out and could not get back in. I there for removed it and tried again and the same thing happened. I gave up, removed it from my server and just gave up. I run a forum on one of my sites for our land games at work, and one of my friends tried to log into that, he couldn't and let me know. I have been searching last night to try and find what happened but no avail.
Now, I logged into the server and look at the owners of the folders for the sites, they all use my name, michael. There are one or two that I have removed that used www-data, I have no idea if this could be the problem or not, I also tried reinstalling the mysql-server but that didn't work. the logs I don't have running but there are no errors opining the sites so i figure they can connect just fine, just any user is unable to log in.
Has anyone seen this before or know what might be going on?
