[SOLVED] Can't login with web gui, but ssh works and VE auth works too

[Viper_Prime]

I updated to PVE 9 from 8.4.1+ and can't login with web gui, but ssh works and VE auth works too, it's just pam login. I don't konw what to do, i still have root access but i want to have the web gui.

I think its a problem with the configs but i don't know how to fix them.

debsums -c :

/usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit/proxmoxlib.js
/usr/share/pve-yew-mobile-gui/index.html.tpl

If you can help please do.

Did you previously install "PVE helper scripts" ?

Yes i did and i think that did something to the configs, how can i reset them?
I have tried reinstalling the packages but that did't work.
Do i need to restart the server?

The scripts put a "helpful" service that runs in the background and "fixes" your PVE installation every time it gets "unfixed".
There are multiple threads about this on the forum, I don't have them saved - if I come across one I will place it here. You may be able to find the steps faster.

Restarting the server is not necessary and will not help until you address the "updater".

Cheers

One option that is always available to you is to contact the authors of the scripts and ask them for assistance.

   The Script doesnt have anything to do with the reported path, in Forum, Classic "mimimi" instead of helpful answers

   then what do i do?

9. CanbiZ | MickLesk​

   You should know, the Script is installed currently 2-5k times per day, so in a week 50k
10. And never get Issues with this
    
    
11. Check your Proxmox. Refresh your Cache, refresh your Browser.

    and debsums -c :/usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit/proxmoxlib.js/usr/share/pve-yew-mobile-gui/index.html.tpli can give server logs to if i find them in the cli

@Viper_Prime , it was not my intention to get into a "fight" through proxy with someone on discord before noon on Monday.

The Script doesnt have anything to do with the reported path, in Forum, Classic "mimimi" instead of helpful answers

#wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/tools/pve/post-pve-install.sh

#grep /usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit/proxmoxlib.js post-pve-install.sh
WEB_JS=/usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit/proxmoxlib.js

#grep WEB_JS post-pve-install.sh
WEB_JS=/usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit/proxmoxlib.js
if [ -s "$WEB_JS" ] && ! grep -q NoMoreNagging "$WEB_JS"; then
    sed -i -e "/data\.status/ s/!//" -e "/data\.status/ s/active/NoMoreNagging/" "$WEB_JS"

Good luck!

Thread 'Proxmox VE Web GUI is a Blank Page'

Sep 26, 2025

My Proxmox VE Web GUI is now displaying a blank white page.

- The VE is accessible through SSH
- All of my containers and VMs are running just fine
- I have restarted the server
- I have tried different browser (Chrome, Firefox and Safari) all to the same effect
- The web gui does work on a mobile browser
- I have run:
-

apt install --reinstall pve-manager

-

apt install --reinstall proxmox-widget-toolkit

-

service pveproxy restart

-

service pvedaemon restart

This is what is returned when I run

apt install --reinstall...

Try this: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-ve-web-gui-is-a-blank-page.172804/#post-806653
but also add pve-yew-mobile-gui to the list of packages.

solution:

1. Now its clear, you get:rp_id is not an effective_domain of rp_originfailed to begin webauthn context instantiation: The configuration was invalidYour logs clearly show a WebAuthn configuration error, not a problem with the UI files the script modifies.This happens when WebAuthn is configured for a domain, but you access the GUI via IP (e.g. https://192.168.x.x:8006/).With Proxmox VE 9 the WebAuthn validation became stricter, so mismatched rp_id / origin values will cause 401 authentication failure
   
   
2. You can Check it Here:cat /etc/pve/datacenter.cfgMaybe remove tempor. The webauthn: path
   
   
3. Then restart the Proxy
   
   
4. systemctl restart pvedaemon pveproxy

   webauthn: id=192.168.88.161,origin=https://192.168.88.161:8006,rp=192.168.88.161

   how do i fix it?
   
   

9. CanbiZ | MickLesk​

   Comment out at Firstrp / id must be a valid effective domain for the origin, and using the IP here is what triggers

    Yeah or remove it completly, then restart the service as test
