Hello there:

I installed proxmox for the first time yesterday and it worked fine. But after I trayed using an Old Switch today I could connect the server Anymore to be clear the Server didn't have any Interneconection as well.
As I didn't have anything on the Sever I choose the Reinstall proxmox But I still have the same problem. The Server is reachable by SSH and it has a connection to the Internet.
Has anybody an Idea?

Chris
 
Hi,
make sure you are using https and port 8006 to connect to the server. Since you have a working ssh connection, please check if the services are up and running systemctl status pveproxy pvedaemon and if the service is listening at the port 8006 ss -tl | grep 8006
 
Hmmm, I am not so lucky. While the above commands report aok (see below), the run of the proxmox_kvm.py code gives this when trying to create a PV:

creation of qemu VM centos-static with vmid 137 failed with exception=500 Internal Server Error: {\"data\":null}

So my question is how to drill down into the API to understand why it is giving the API error from the proxmox server.

API up:

Code:
root@ceph-hv-01:~# ss -tl | grep 8006
LISTEN   0         128                 0.0.0.0:8006              0.0.0.0:*     
root@ceph-hv-01:~# systemctl status pveproxy pvedaemon

Hi,
this seems totally unrelated to the original issue. Or do you experience issues while accessing the WebUI? Also where is the proxmox_kvm.py coming from? This seems to stem from outside of PVEs software stack.
The API documentation can be found here https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/api-viewer/index.html
To check where the error is coming from you probably want to have a look at the source as well, see https://git.proxmox.com/
and https://git.proxmox.com/?p=qemu-server.git;a=summary in particular.
