I recently installed Proxmox to my test server (a Dell Poweredge 2950) to try it out and see if it would work as a replacement for Virtualbox. I was having issues burning it to a USB and a CD so I followed this tutorial
http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Wheezy
I get an "unable to connect" error in Firefox when trying to access the web interface.
I have only ever used Ubuntu before so I am new to Debian.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
and you use to connect an URL like "https://ip.of.pve.server:8006" ?!
Can you ping your pvehost "ping ip.of.pve.server" ?

Bump? I really need help to get this working or I am going to have to go back to Virtualbox.
 
What I would do in such a case:


- try to connect to PROXMOX server via ssh

* if not ok, connect a terminal and log in directly on the server

- check with

netstat -l | grep 8006

whether webservice is running correctly

result shoud be

tcp 0 0 *:8006 *:* LISTEN

* if not ok: something wrong after PROXMOX installation

* if ok try

wget --no-check-certificate https://localhost:8006

result should be

--2014-04-xx xx:xx:xx-- https://localhost:8006/
Resolving localhost (localhost)... 127.0.0.1
Connecting to localhost (localhost)|127.0.0.1|:8006... connected.

etc.

- if ok: probably a problem with your client - but no idea what it can be, try another one.

- if not ok: something wrong after PROXMOX installation

In case of wrong PROXMOX installation: I would reapeat ist, simply. Be careful to fill out the forms
during installation proces for IP addresses etc. correctly. My experience is: if you do so
there are no problems to connect to web interface.

Best regards

The port isn't open!
Verify with nmap (and netstat like Mr.Holmes wrote):
Code: 
nmap -p 8006 ip.of.pve.server

Starting Nmap 6.40 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2014-04-09 18:13 CEST
Nmap scan report for proxmox.example.org (ip.of.pve.server)

I know the thread is old, but I am having the same issue. Everytime I try to connect to my web interface for Proxmox it comes up with

502 Bad Gateway​

nginx/1.18.0

I have tried to run all the commands Mr. Holmes suggested and they all checked out. The only thing that I am not sure about is the certificate message I received below......if that's normal or not?
wget --no-check-certificate https://localhost:8006
--2021-07-24 16:44:51-- https://localhost:8006/
Resolving localhost (localhost)... 127.0.0.1
Connecting to localhost (localhost)|127.0.0.1|:8006... connected.
WARNING: The certificate of ‘localhost’ is not trusted.

Length: 2308 (2.3K) [text/html]
Saving to: ‘index.html.1’

index.html.1 100%[===================>] 2.25K --.-KB/s in 0s


So I am not sure what to do next?? I really don't want to reinstall Prox if I don't have to as I have a few VMs that I need to keep running. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Truckin
