Can't access the dashboard

[kind mirage]

I entered the token and it could not connect. I tried trouble shooting with Claude but it did not work. This is my second time trying to install and setup openclaw. Please help. 🙏

First thing: what does this show?

openclaw --version
openclaw status --all
openclaw gateway status

Don’t paste any real token, but the redacted output from those is safe/useful.

For dashboard connection specifically, try this exact path:

openclaw dashboard

Open the URL it prints, then in the dashboard go to Control -> Overview -> Gateway Access and paste the secret into the right field:

• Gateway Token if you’re using gateway.auth.token
• Password if you configured password auth

If you see disconnected (1008): pairing required, that’s not usually a bad token. Run:

openclaw devices list
openclaw devices approve <requestId>

Then refresh the dashboard. If it says unauthorized or AUTH_TOKEN_MISMATCH, run:

openclaw config get gateway.auth.token
openclaw doctor
