| Problem | Likely Cause | Solution | |---------|--------------|----------| | Page not found (404) | Wrong html-directory or missing files | Check /ip hotspot profile print and file path. | | Login does nothing / loops | Missing dst hidden field | Ensure <input name="dst" value="$(link-orig)"> exists. | | CSS/JS not loading | Incorrect relative paths | Use absolute paths like /hotspot/myskin/css/style.css | | Error: "Invalid username or password" | CHAP mismatch | Set login-by=http-chap in hotspot profile. | | Redirect to default MikroTik page after upload | File permissions? No, simply cached | Clear browser cache or force reload (Ctrl+F5). | | GitHub page uses PHP – not working | MikroTik cannot execute PHP | Host PHP on external server and use API calls. |
