Issue Unable to login to panel after initial install

Brian@FS

New Pleskian
Hi All,

Using the Plesk supplied linux ISO, I've installed the control panel onto my VmWare host. Instructions state to use "root" as the user and my superuser password provided during install. Putting this into the fields gives me an invalid user / pass error message. I've verified my su password works by logging into the server via SSH, so I have no idea what's happening. I tried the FQDN as well as IP address, no dice.

The install logs looked clean, but I bit the bullet and deleted the entire VM and started over - with the same results. I went through the same process a few weeks ago with the evaluation copy using the same ISO and everything worked fine, so I'm at a bit of a loss here...

Any help greatly appreciated!
