Hello, this is my first post and i hope i picked up the right forum.
I installed ProxMox 3.0-23 and downloaded the Ubuntu 12.04 server edition and created a bunch of VMs with it.
Its running good and stable.
Now, a few months later, i downloaded the CentOS 6 template, but i can't create a CT or VM from a template, because its not listed.
In fact, none of my templates are listed anymore.
 
Hi, too little info to solve this but:

from web gui select the running CT, look under its options

you will find "storage" field, it should be filled filled with a storage name where the original template was: is it still there, and you uploaded the centos template there?

check that storage on the gui, look for containers.
check also storage definition (web gui : datacenter > storage > storagename EDIT), if "templates" is still enabled for it...

Okay, i made a mistake here. I have running VMs not CTs.
When i look at the options of my VM, there is no storage field.
I created the VMs by copying an existing template i created (and there is also no "storage" field under "options").

In the Storage View, i see 1 storage. There is a button templates. There is also an empty list. When i upload an ISO file, or download some existing template, its not listed there.

yes those are CT options only...
can you go to pve command line as root?

if yes, try

#ls /mnt/pve/<storagename>

and post the output here

(beware is case sensitive)

/mnt should not be empty. It should at least have /mnt/pve/.
Seems to me your /mnt/pve got unmounted somehow or cluster lost sync. Thats probably why you are not seeing any storage. May be a reboot? Do you have other nodes in the cluster? Do they have /mnt/pve?

No one ? :( thinking about reinstalling, which would be a pain in the running system.
