FAHControl will not connect

[nilix]

After updating to F@H 7.6.9 I can´t use FAHControl. In the browser everything is okay. FAHControl says "On Client "local" 127.0.0.1 Access denied, invalid password" The password is correct and the same in browser control.

I use Windows 10 Home 1909. Windows patches and drivers are up to date.

What can I do?

Can you provide the details in your log? We specifically need to see the configuration which is all in a file called "config.xml" which will be in %APPDATA%\FAHclient. If you could post its contents in this thread but edit out the passkey (should hopefully be obvious which bit to remove )

<config>
<!-- Folding Slot Configuration -->
<cause v='COVID_19'/>

<!-- Network -->
<proxy v=':8080'/>

<!-- User Information -->
<passkey v='XXXXX'/>
<team v='251999'/>
<user v='XXX'/>

<!-- Folding Slots -->
<slot id='0' type='CPU'/>
</config>

User name and password are the same in the browser and in FAHControl.

It shouldn't even be asking for a password. Try renaming the file to config.safe and restart everything.

Asking for a password, not passkey, is a bug people have run into with installing 7.6.9 over an older 7.5.1 installation. I haven't seen a good set of directions for correcting this. The password being looked for is that for remote access by Web Control or FAHControl on a different system.

Deleting the config.xml file and reconfiguring may clear that up.

After a new install of FAH everything is fine.
