Got a weird strongbox error message today:

Quote:

strongbox on xxxxxxx.com: toothdk htpffail

This is the Strongbox webmaster notification system on xxxxxx.com
Someone tried to login as "xxxxxx", but I can't open the password
file. I need repair. You can get more information about this by looking
at the reports for today in the Strongbox Admin area.
The Strongbox Admin area is located: xxxxxxxx.com/sblogin/report/
remote IP: xx.xx.xxx.x

Anyone know what's the deal with this?

The Strongbox Admin area is located: xxxxxxxx.com/sblogin/report/
remote IP: xx.xx.xxx.x

You need to go to
xxxxxxxx.com/sblogin/report/
and find remote ip xx.xx.xxx.x
and see , what it says , or if there is button to repair it then click it.

idk much about it.

Strongbox in it's current state is a piece of shit with no support. Ray has given up on it, Elias sometimes pops up to take a look. But it's dead in the water.

We switched to something else and haven't looked back.

What is that "something" you moved to? I'd love to know

Password Sentry
Their menus and site design is a bit weird, but the script does the job great.

StrongBox is so retarded that when it bans some user, it bans the whole IP range (not the individual ip of that user) and then other users from that IP range can't access the website.

Password Sentry is legit and Dan (I believe his name) provides good support.

I have set up PS for a few clients. Great piece of software, Dan provides excellent support. I would make the switch to that.

jscott · 07-25-2015, 11:34 AM

Thanks Ya'll, i'm going to give it some serious thought, about staying with SB or moving over to PS

Ditch Strongbox, really. It's shit.

I'm so glad we've switched.

this

That means the password file doesn't exist at the location you configured. Either your password file was completely removed, or you changed your Strongbox configuration to point to the wrong location for the password file.

If you let me know which site you're talking about, I can help you figure out which of the two occurred.

Just a word to let you know that Sliiing also has an anti-password sharing solution...

I like proxy pass myself. It's $50 per month but it covers every site on a server

Strongbox was great back in the day but support is very important with software

jscott · 07-25-2015, 09:22 PM

Thanks ya'll, once we get this issue fixed will look for moving to other system. I agree about having good support. That is a must with this shit.

he only show up because auto pilot turned off in gfy.

I am really surprised with the lack of response from Ray (SB). Nice, smart guy, but he seems to have falling off the end of the world. Get quite a few signups from ex-SB clients whose top complaint is the lack of support. For this type of software, support needs to be there 365. Has Ray moved on to new horizons?

jscott · 09-12-2015, 09:12 PM

In all fairness, Strongbox did reply to me back in late July:
"Ok, let us know if you need our support, we will be more than happy to help you with anything relate to Strongbox."

Even though Ray and SB are my competitor, I have a lot of respect for Ray. So I'm glad you did receive a response. I wasn't trying to malign Ray. Again, glad it worked out for you.
