Web access fails, but ssh works?

Interesting issue. Running 384.9.

I can no longer access the web interface via my username/password, but ssh access using the same credentials works.

I can bring up the web logon, and see Sign-In screen. When I enter my username/password, the screen just reloads as if the username/password combination failed. I've even tried the standard admin/admin.. nada.

BUT, I can still access the system via ssh using the same username/password combination as above. These should be the same right?

"nvram get http_username" and "nvram get http_passwd" show the username/password combination as I expect them to be.. but they don't work. I've rebooted. I've tried setting http_passwd to something else and restarting the web service. Same thing; web screen just reloads.

Where are the httpd logs stored or how can I enable them so I can debug this? or does anyone have another idea. I'd rather not do a factory reset. I'd rather help by figuring out what the issue is and give feedback.

Using an adblocker or anything? Quick test - try a different browser

Hanging on to Jack’s coat tails, if his suggestions don’t help, can you try a different device. (If you had already done so, I feel sure you would have mentioned it.)
