can't login anymore - log says "HTTP_JSON Failed"

[Mausbiber]

Hi,
i've installed OX 6 on a Test-Server in our office and it worked fine. Today i tried to login as "testuser" and suddenly OX tells me thats there is no user with this name or the password is wrong.
So next try with the Context Admin ... but after trying to login with "oxadmin" it shows me the same error.
So, the last time i logged in successful was Friday and i've done nothing with the server over the weekend.
I looked into the log-files and they show me

The next try was to list all OX-User with

 listuser -A oxadmin -P xxxxxxxx -c 1
users in context 1 could not be listed:

Where are my users? Why can't OX find my context admin?

I've searched for a solution on google, but didn't find anything.
So i hope someone can help me.

mhh, does etc/admindaemon/mpasswd contain any user:hash combination? If not, please run generatempasswd to set a passwort for oxadminmaster. If it does, your password is incorrect, perhaps its also incorrect for oxadmin or the user.

cat /opt/open-xchange/etc/admindaemon/mpasswd
oxadminmaster:JN80rILiDRthk

[Mausbiber]

[root@oxserver ~]# cat /opt/open-xchange/etc/admindaemon/mpasswd
oxadminmaster:EMfEXs9Aq9mwA

So, there seems to be an account with password for oxadminmaster, but where are the 2 other users (oxadmin & testuser).
And, how can the password change? Friday everything was fine, password was correct and now, a weekend later the password is wrong?
How could this be?

Hi,

maybe you updated OX? Look at the ownership of /opt/open-xchange/etc/admindaemon/mpasswd
Should be wwwrun, depending on your installation.

HTH, Dirk

[Mausbiber]

Okay, I think there was a little update. Some parts of OX seems to be updated this weekend.
If i look about the ownership of the file, it tells me the owner is "root" ... look here:

[root@oxserver ~]# ls -all /opt/open-xchange/etc/admindaemon/mpasswd
-rw-r----- 1 root root 28  4. Okt 19:04 /opt/open-xchange/etc/admindaemon/mpasswd

Can this be the error? How can i change this to the correct ownership?
Would a simple "chown wwwrun:wwwrun /opt/open-xchange/etc/admindaemon/mpasswd" do the job for me?
And why changes the ownership when i update OX, is this normal?

[solved]

Sorry guys, i've found the problem. It was a co-worker of me, who created a new Context without telling me about. So my old Context with my old users was deleted by him, then he created a new one with new users and new passwords.
Sorry again, it was my own fault.

But thanks to everybody who was willing to help me
