It also no longer shows on my router as being connected. Console works fine as show below:

Try curl on port 8007, as shown in line three.
 
Port 8007 is driven by proxmox-backup-proxy. Compare my output:
Code:
~# systemctl  status proxmox-backup-proxy.service
● proxmox-backup-proxy.service - Proxmox Backup API Proxy Server
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/proxmox-backup-proxy.service; enabled; preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running) since Mon 2025-08-18 06:50:44 CEST; 56s ago
...
If it is not "active (running)" try to start it:
Code:
~# systemctl  start proxmox-backup-proxy.service

~# systemctl  status proxmox-backup-proxy.service

Then look at the newest journal entries
Code:
~# journalctl  -e -u proxmox-backup-proxy.service

To show only errors:
Code:
~# journalctl  -e -p err -u proxmox-backup-proxy.service

To look at all services omit "-u ...":
Code:
~# journalctl  -e -p err

You should find some hints regarding your malfunctions. At least that's the job of the journal...

----

Perhaps there is more failed services than that one. List all struggling units:
Code:
~# systemctl  list-units --failed

Please try to post text, not images. The "</>"-symbol opens the "code-input" editor...
 
Thanks for the reply. For some reason it will not let me copy the text from the console window like I can do when I am in Solar-PuTTY thus why I am posting the screen captures instead. I have no idea why it will not let me copy the text as I tried it in 3 different browsers. o_O
 
I think we are missing something more fundamental. Did you check the actual IP address pbs has? In your posted output it is not shown anywhere. Please show us:
  • ip address show # currently active IP addresses on the PBS
  • ip route show # currently active routing table on the PBS
  • cat /etc/network/interfaces # the configuration file
  • ss -tlpn # which process is listening on which address/port
 
For some reason it will not let me copy the text from the console window
Which operating system?
Which browser?

We are talking about the PBS web frontend --> Administration --> Shell, right? In my Librewolf (=Firefox) I can utilize the right-click context menu to copy and also to paste text.

Oh, stop! How did you connect to the web frontend if you... can't? What is your problem again??? I am confused...

:p I can not ping it, I can not SSH into it... it does not show in my router. Only in the Console can I do commands which will not let me copy the text from it to paste here thus the screenshots.
 
I can not ping it, I can not SSH into it
Okay. I've never used noVNC to connect to PBS...

PBS is a virtual machine? I wasn't aware of this :-(

  • ip address show # currently active IP addresses on the PBS
That information is still lacking. There is a (small, near zero) chance that /etc/network/interface is not being used.

----

Because that seems to be a VM we now have to debug PVE...

PVE System information:
  • pveversion -v

Basic network information of the host:
  • ip address show # currently active IP addresses on one NODE
  • ip route show # currently active routing table on one NODE
  • ip link show # currently active links on one NODE
  • cat /etc/network/interfaces # configuration of the network

Problematic VM:
  • qm config <your-vmid> # the configuration of that VM

Great! Now use [code]...[/code]-tags around the pasted text, for the next posts. See the "</>"-symbol to open the "Code"-editor.

Everything's looking fine, so far.
root@pve:~# qm config pbs
When I wrote "qm config <your-vmid>" you should have converted it to "qm config 103" as 103 seems to be your VM ID (from the last screenshot) ;-)

This one is important; I want to see if the PBS VM is connected to vmbr0.

And from the inside of PBS add ip address show, I do not see that information yet.
