Hi,

I wonder what version of armagetronad you had installed before you made
the upgrade. I can't find a file called web_password.cfg neither in the
Squeeze or Wheezy version of armagetronad-common.

The only hint I have found is an old post on the upstream mailing list
from 2007:

http://sourceforge.net/p/armagetronad/mailman/armagetronad-commits/?page=102

"Removed web interface completely"

It might be that an very old release left that conffile around but the
latest version of armagetronad is not to blame. Since the upgrade path
from Wheezy->Jessie is not affected, I fear there is not much what I can
do nowadays.

Regards,

Markus
