Can't open / sign in to the Console
The shortcut does not open the Console
- Run
CafeServer.exe(or the GCaféUpdate Dashboard shortcut) as administrator again — it restarts the service if it is stopped and opens the Console. - Still nothing: reboot the server.
- Missing display component: CafeServer installs it by itself; meanwhile, open the Console in a browser on the server.
Sign-in error messages
Message | What to do |
|---|---|
Wrong web password | Enter the web password (not the CafePwd). Changing CafePwd does not change the web password. |
Wrong password. No custom web password is set… | Without a custom web password, the password is the CafeID. |
CafeID does not match the CafeID this server uses | Just changed the license? Enter the new CafeID. |
This server has no CafeID yet | Leave the CafeID box empty and enter the web password. |
Remote access needs a custom UI password | Open the Console on the server itself, set a password under Settings › Console password, then sign in from the other device. |
Too many attempts, try again later | This device is temporarily locked out. Wait about 10 minutes and try again with the correct password. |
Auto-login link is invalid or expired | Open a new link, or sign in with the password. |
Works on the server but not from another device
- Make sure that device is on the same LAN and you typed the server's IP correctly.
- Check a custom web password is set (required for access from other devices).
- Check that firewall / security software on the server is not blocking CafeServer.
