Any ideas, all vm's are running and acceible via rdp, but I can't access web gui.
 
Did you try to run this command manually - pvecm updatecerts ?

Yes and it gave me this:
root@colo:~# service pveproxy restart

See "systemctl status pveproxy.service" and "journalctl -xeu pveproxy.service" for details.
root@colo:~# pvecm updatecerts
(re)generate node files
merge authorized SSH keys and known hosts
root@colo:~#
 
I'm new to the cmd line, ssh stuff. Web GUI was the selling point for me.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I need to gain access back to web gui asap.

Very strange error start failed - Invalid prefix 01000010101110110100011110100001/29
Your node is not in Cluster? If not,
Try this:
1. Create file /etc/default/pveproxy for example via nano, like this nano /etc/default/pveproxy
2. Insert this LISTEN_IP="YOUR_LOCAL_IP" for example LISTEN_IP="192.168.110.188"
3. Save file. If you use nano, ctrl+x and Y, than enter
4. Try to start /usr/bin/pveproxy start -debug
 
so i feel stupid, but there was this in that file when i opened nano /etc/default/pveproxy
ALLOW_FROM="10.0.0.1-10.0.0.5,192.168.0.0/22,66.187.71.161/29"
DENY_FROM="all"
POLICY="allow"

Deleted, rebooted, service works.

Note to self, don't edit files
