Restarting Proxmox web Interface

[Kaanha]

I'm attempting to access the web interface of my ProxMox server via https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8006 and chrome just sits and spins not bringing anything up, I have verified I have proper network connection. I can access the server via SSH. I have run into this problem before, where the web interface simply fails to load and the way I've fixed it is by restarting the service(s) that the web interface uses, however I can not for the life of me remember what the service is.

Can someone tell me what service(s) needs to be restarted for the web interface? I have run an apt-get upgrade but other then that I've not done anything to the server and the web interface was functioning perfectly fine just a few days ago.

Here's my version information via pveversion -v

I figured it'd be good to note, absolutely everything else is running fine on the server. All of my VM's are still running and accessible, etc.

# service pveproxy restart

Does that solve the problem?

Quick question: If i have running VMs that I do not want to go down, can I run # service pveproxy restart to restart the web gui without interference to the VMs?

EDIT: We are still running on proxmox version 3

Restarting pveproxy shouldn't effect the running guests.

Any suggestions if
systemctl restart pveproxy
doesn't help? (proxmox 8)

I am able to log into other nodes fine. The two functioning nodes show green, but the problem node and vms on the problem node are showing gray (and lacking details). The vm running on the problem node seems fine, but migrate option says it would be offline instead of online.

My guess is rebooting would clear it, but that would also reboot all vms that seem to be functioning on this degraded node....
