Can't log into cryosparc with the web browser

I’ve tried firefox (v60) and google chrome (v70) and when I go to localhost:39000 the login screen briefly appears for me to type in my email and password, but then disappears all in less than a second. I’m running a brand new install of cryoSPARC version: v2.4.0


CryoSPARC System master node installed at
/home/cryosparc/software/cryosparc/cryosparc2_master
Current cryoSPARC version: v2.4.0

cryosparcm process status:

command_core RUNNING pid 9004, uptime 0:31:36
command_proxy RUNNING pid 9035, uptime 0:31:32
command_vis RUNNING pid 9024, uptime 0:31:34
database RUNNING pid 8928, uptime 0:31:38
watchdog_dev STOPPED Not started
webapp RUNNING pid 9040, uptime 0:31:31
webapp_dev STOPPED Not started


global config variables:

export CRYOSPARC_LICENSE_ID="***"
export CRYOSPARC_MASTER_HOSTNAME="***"
export CRYOSPARC_DB_PATH="/home/cryosparc/software/cryosparc/cryosparc2_database"
export CRYOSPARC_BASE_PORT=39000
export CRYOSPARC_DEVELOP=false
export CRYOSPARC_INSECURE=false

I have just installed cryoSPARC and encountered the very same error.
I then run ‘cryosparcm restart’ command to stop and start the software and then was able to log into cryoSPARC web app in Firefox. The web app appeared to be working fine after I logged out and then back in into the system (centOS 7).
Hope this helps.
