Hi All

I did some research but I couldnt find a solution to my problem.
I tried various things but I can not Access my Proxmox on Port 8006 via WebGUI.
I just installed a new Router in my PC room and had to change the static IP of my Proxmox Server.

The Proxmox Server is online, I can ping google successfully, the VM is working.
Also I can access Proxmox with my Mac via SSH on Port 443.
The Router also shows the Server with the correct IP Adress in its device list.

The error message in my browser says: "ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE"

Any Idea what is wrong?
 
Hey,

what does ip a and cat /etc/network/interfaces say? Can you ping the PVE host?

note: SSH uses port 22, 443 is for HTTPS

root@elmuro:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces

I confused https port with ssh port sry thats embarrassing, thank for the reminder.

Yes I can successfully ping the PVE Host.

192.168.50.69/32 should probably be 192.168.50.69/24, since the gateway is within a /24-block.
thx, changed it. but still PVE Host is not reachable.
Is it possible that there is a issue with the SSL Certificate?
I didnt configure it nicely I always had an http / https error and entered the WebGUI insecurely.
 
did you ifreload -av after changing it to /24? Just to be sure, but could you also check systemctl status pveproxy, and ss -tulpn | grep 8006?

Not really, there is only a UI over HTTPS, there is no HTTP one. What you saw was just a warning about the self-signed certificate, which is expected and fine.

I did a reboot and checked it with cat /etc/network/interfaces

Ok it is working now, I guess leesteken gave the solution. I only changed address 192.168.50.69/32 to address 192.168.50.69/24 in /etc/network/interfaces.d/ rebooted and later entered ifreload -av

Thank you both for your efforts.
