Hi,

I pretty much followed
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Jessie
to the letter, but there is no webinterface showing up, and no strange errors in /var/log/daemon.log.
The right kernel is loaded. Other than that I've got no experience with Proxmox and just wanted to try the product out, so I don't really know where to look next for debugging reasons -but I don't really like it when the following the setup page 1:1 on a clean install and ending up nowhere...

Any tips would be appriciated. :-)
 
I've had those issues when:
-server hostname didn't match the public ip
-hostname was bad
-subdomain had issues with hostname(see mypve for below)
-I've modified a JS file and the web gui didn't render
-didn't use https:// before connecting. the webgui doesn't redirect http to https by itself.

Connect to your server gui as:

https://123.123.123.123:8006

Replace 123.123.123.123 with your ip. If that doesn't work, check your hostname /etc/hostname and IP/hostname entries in /etc/hosts.

Hostname can be updated:

Code:
sudo hostnamectl set-hostname new-hostname-here.com

/etc/hosts:
Code:
123.123.123.123    mypve.proxmox.com mypve
127.0.0.1       localhost
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

For some reason you need to have two entries on your public ip line;

See:
Code:
123.123.123.123    mypve.proxmox.com mypve
^ mypve.proxmox.com and mypve

Sometimes installations put "mypve" as your hostname.[/code]
 
I have:
root@proxmox ~ # cat /etc/hostname
proxmox.xxx.com
root@proxmox ~ # cat /etc/hosts
# IPv4
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
136.xxx.xxx.158 proxmox.xxx.com proxmox
 
If I could, I would, but I don't have the option to mount an ISO to this dedicated server. Debian minimal is one of the useable options to start off with.
