Seems that it is failing on login/password checks. Any chance you used special (non asci and non-numerical) characters in your password? If you are not sure, it is possible to reset password by running SERVER installer with just parameter "--server-root-password".

Thanks Martin, will try and  reset and report back

Hi thanks for that tip, I'm afraid that didn't work same problem. 

 

Mysql database server is on the same host and we configured era to talk to the localhost 3306 port. 

I can see using iptraf that the application is talking to the mysql host ok. 

Not too sure where the issue is, guess I keep digging

I missed error on screenshot you provided in first post. There seems to be different problem than wrong password (error message in login screen would clearly state that user name or password is invalid).

In this case, I would recommend to check tomcat logs, most probably /var/log/tomcat*/. We have seen similar errors in case there was problem with tomcat or java version - which version are you actually using? What is the version of ERA components (Webconsole and SERVER)?
