Proxmox is properly configured, but still does not have a web interface.

Hello, I am new to Proxmox, and I am still learning linux... but I finally got past the Realtek driver issue by opting into the 6.14 kernel. Yet Proxmox will not open the web interface.

I am on a single system, running Proxmox from an additional drive within the same system. Hosted by Windows 10 Pro, 128 GB of RAM, 14 TB HD, and enough processor to crack fortknots... I am running 8.4 6.14 kernel, and (IP a) and all other Linux say it is running great.

The server is 192.168.1.124:8006, and my system is 192.168.1.123. I am on the same subnet, so I don't get it. It should be open.

Everything on Proxmox says it should be running. I even shut off and uninstalled my AV/FW and still nothing... I tried form firefox, and edge and nothing... See attached.

But it says it's taking too long to connect.

I know I am supposed to change the 127.0.0.1 DNS to another one, but when I go into Network/Interfaces, it says it's not an option. I think that maybe the issue but I cannot figure out how to change it... I want to set it to both of google.

I have triple-checked all the settings... I don't understand. Any help would be great.

Your Proxmox (192.168.1.123) and your Windows (192.168.1.123) have the same IP address. That won't work. You claim you set Proxmox to 192.168.1.124 but the current screenshot shows 192.168.1.123. Also make sure the Proxmox IP address is not in the DHCP range of your router (or reserve it for Proxmox).

Yes, I fixed that, sorry. How do I change the DNS from 127.0.0.1 to something else? I used resolvconf and changed it to Google, but it's not changing, or maybe it is, but it's being overwritten, so I am a little lost.. I have found that this is a major issue for many people. I think it is the problem, but I cannot seem to fix it.

How do I change the DNS from 127.0.0.1 to something else?

Using the Proxmox web GUI > "your node/host name" > System > DNS. click Edit.

Why would (many) people enter 127.0.0.1 for DNS? Maybe the installer should be more clear about the IP address setting for an existing DNS server?

That's the problem, I don't have the GUI interface. GUI, if I had that, I would be good... it says it's taking too long to connect. Everything in Proxmox says it should be working... I pinged google.com, my server, etc, no issues, I cannot seem to figure it out. I even restarted the systemctl pveproxy and nothing is working... I don't get it.

I think the installer should allow you to choose from a set list of pre-installed DNS, so that I can just click on one.

I created /etc/default/pveproxy and the service, then restarted the daemon, but got nothing.

Did you fix the IP address and reboot? Did you chose an IP address outside the DHCP range of the router? What does cat /etc/network/interfaces and ip a look like now?

Proxmox does not come with a DNS server. You should simply enter one that you already use in other parts of your (local) network, which is often the local router.

I created /etc/default/pveproxy and the service, then restarted the daemon, but got nothing.

There is not need to do this. Maybe the easiest cleanest way is to cleanly reinstall Proxmox with a local IP address (outside of the DHCP range of the router) and a valid DNS (9.9.9.9, 8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1 or your local router which most likely provides a DNS service: 192.168.1.1).

I fixed it... It's not as originally stated. When I first installed it, the realtrk driver was a huge problem, but once I installed the 6.14 kernel, it fixed a lot of errors... the two new photos I added, above, show my IP a. When running gproxmox form a single system do I have to duel boot both, or just boot into windows.
