Using my raspberry pi account and password doesn't work as the instructions say it should. I never get past the login screen.

Take a look at the logs. You are likely running openrsd under an account that doesn’t have Sudo rights

Cool. Where do I find those logs, and what would they say if that were the case?

I have the same problem. I'm running it on the pi user,

I cant seem to find any apache logs though. my "/var/log/" had these in it:

alternatives.log dpkg.log messages syslog.1 apt faillog pihole unattended-upgrades auth.log firebird pihole-FTL.log user.log boot.log fontconfig.log pihole-FTL.log.1 wtmp bootstrap.log kern.log pihole.log Xorg.0.log btmp lastlog pihole.log.1 Xorg.0.log.old daemon.log lightdm private Xorg.1.log debug lighttpd syslog

Check out syslog. Since openrsd is its own service, it defaults to logging there.

It loops this same error, only the restart counter is different each time.

Edit: Got it working! I was using sudo systemctl restart openrsd.service and sudo systemctl status openrsd.service through SSH to look for different errors, using different accounts. I couldn't get it to work.

As a last effort I connected to my pi via remote desktop and opened the terminal through that and ran sudo systemctl restart openrsd.service and now I can log in!
