Hello,
Since yesterday, I can't connect to my web interface (I didn't try from about 10 days). I have a blank screen.
I tried to restart my computer, the pveproxy and the server, but no changes.

My pveproxy status

Code:
root@lucky:~# service pveproxy status
● pveproxy.service - PVE API Proxy Server
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/pveproxy.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

In firefox, the console send errors

Did you install updates in the meantime? If so, how?

As a first step, try to reinstall the pve-manager package which contains the weg GUI: apt install --reinstall pve-manager

Then do a full reload in your browser with CTRL+r or Shift+r. This should not use the browser's cache but load everything from the server.

Hello,
I installed update last time I connect to proxmox. If I remember well, I've done by webUI.
As I saw in another tread, I tried to reinstall pve-manager, but that does'nt help.
Thanks

I am in the same situation, all services are running fine but i can't get to the web ui

Have you tried it from a different browser?
 
Hmm, which versions are installed? pveversion -v
 
Sorry, I forgot this information,

Hmm, so if reinstalling pve-manager did not help, the other package that contains some GUI stuff is proxmox-widget-toolkit. Maybe that is corrupet. Try to reinstall it with:
Code:
apt install --reinstall proxmox-widget-toolkit

After that try to clear your browser cache and reload the GUI.
 
That's the solution.
Thank you.
How can I tag the tread solve, modify the title of the tread or a button somewhere.
Thank you again
Benoit
 
Good to hear :)

Yeah you can edit the first post and select the "solved" prefix from the drop down menu next to the title. Thanks!
 
Superb. I had the same issue today after updating my Proxmox 7.3 one of the 3 machines lost it's web interface. Both others were OK even though all 3 got updated.

apt install --reinstall proxmox-widget-toolkit did the trick.
 
Hi,

I am facing the same issue, i was updating and upgrading using web gui, but I did not restart the server as recommended, and suddently the web gui is hanging and show black screen. Rebooted the server but it seem doesnt help.

So I ran into this exact issue after upgrading to Proxmox 8.0.3. I'm using Cloudflare Tunnels to expose my Proxmox dashboard on the Internet and the issue seems to be caused by Cloudflare minifying the JS code for proxmoxlib.js. I had to add a Page Rule in Cloudflare to disable caching to fix this:

proxmox-dashboard.mydomain.com/*
Cache Level: Bypass
