[SOLVED] Proxmox Web Interface gone!

MaiaInternet · Feb 2, 2018

Hi all,

thanks for making proxmox - a great piece of kit - and mine has been working flawlessly for a year now.

Today, however, I tried to access the web gui with no joy: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

My setup:

Proxmox 4 (updated today) with 3 VMs running (on OVH dedicated server)
Additionally I have Directadmin (Apache,bind,exim and other things) installed to have a webhost.

Everything is working as expected but I now get the error for the web GUI.

If I port forward 8006 to my local machine via ssh; https://localhost:8006 works as advertised.

My IP address isn't in the iptables list and the same happens across different devices/browsers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Dave

Here's some useful info:

Code:

tail -f /var/log/pveproxy/access.log

gives nothing except the curl request

Code:

netstat -an | grep 8006
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:8006            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

Code:

curl -s -k https://localhost:8006 | grep title
    <title>imogen - Proxmox Virtual Environment</title>

Code:

aaaaand after all that it was indeed a firewall problem!

Although there was no entry in the iptables list, the firewall had started (for an unknown reason) blocking 8006.

After a little digging I found that it was the firewall despite nmap saying the port was open/filtered, the firewall was still blocking access.

Thanks for reading - I've learned to check firewall configs a little more closely!

Cheers!

* Check if the pveproxy and pvedaemon services are running (systemctl status service_name)
* Check if you have a firewall enabled on your PVE host and if it's blocking the port
* Check the output of `netstat -antlp` and `ss -l`
