I moved from ESXi to Proxmox about a year ago, and have had no issues, but I am still a Proxmox newbie.
I manually renew Let's Encrypt certificates every 90 days and install them in Proxmox through the GUI. I went to do that yesterday, and must have done something wrong because after trying to upload the cert I got an error message (did not note the details) and could not get back to the GUI.
After poking around a bit I was finally able to put the new certificates manually into /etc/pve/local/pveproxy-ssl.pem and /etc/pve/local/pveproxy-ssl.key and the errors went away and I am able to reach the login form. But every time I try to login I get "Connection error 401: permission denied - invalid PVE ticket".
I have confirmed that the date/time are correct and tried different browsers with cleared cookies and caches and also created a new admin user from the command line. I have restarted pvedaemon, pveproxy and pvestatd. I did see this post: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/authentication-failure-invalid-pve-ticket.148089/ which talked about a solution but it was not clear exactly how to do some of the steps suggested so I could not follow it. I have done everything else I could think of, short of shutting down the VMs and restarting the physical machine Proxmox is running on, which I am reluctant to do unless it is necessary.
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this further and be able to login again? My VMs are still running fine but I just can't reach Proxmox.
