Web Admin login error after update to 1.8.4

[Cardiff-Paul]

Hello,

After updating OpenLiteSpeed to 1.8.4 (from 1.8.3), logging into Web Admin failed - it just returned to login page with no error.

For each failed login it sent a "LiteSpeed Web Admin Console Failed Login Attempt" email.

During the update I noticed this message, which was the clue:

warning: /usr/local/lsws/admin/conf/htpasswd saved as /usr/local/lsws/admin/conf/htpasswd.rpmsave

After the update there was no /usr/local/lsws/admin/conf/htpasswd file.

The solution (as root):

cd /usr/local/lsws/admin/conf/
cp htpasswd.rpmsave htpasswd
chown lsadm:lsadm htpasswd

I am reporting as a bug because it was probably not meant to do this.

In case it's relevant my system is running AlmaLinux 9.6 and MySQL 8.4.6, and the kernel was updated at the same time as OpenLiteSpeed.

I hope this helps.
Paul
