Hello to everybody.
I have a Proxmox VE 1.5 installation, not from the official ISO but done from a Debian Lenny minimal install with the add of proxmox repositories and installation of the proxmox-ve-2.6.32 package. I know it's not an officially supported configuration, but I couldn't do it in any other way and I cannot change it.
I didn't change any configuration for a long time (I think at least 6 month) until today, when I wanted to add a new storage for the backups.
Unfortunately the web interface doesn't work correctly. It shows the configuration, but if you try to add a new storage or to modify and existing one it seems to work (it doesn't show any error) but the task is not done. The same happens if you want to add a new bridge or a new backup task.
If you add the storage by hand modifying the /etc/pve/storage.cfg file, the modifies are correctly reported in the Web UI.
If I add a storage from the command line (pvesm add tmp dir --path /tmp) it works and the storage appears either in the file and in the web ui. If I try to modify it from the Web it doesn't work, BUT if I delete it from the Web UI it is correctly remove either from the file and from the interface.
It seems to me to be a problem with some actions or with communications between the web interface and the pve daemon, but I cannot understand how to diagnose it. I read all the logs on the system but I didn't find nothing useful.
I tried to sniff on the daemon port (83) during the action to add a new storage and I see the requests for the storage status, before and after the operation, but found anything related with the storage creation. The capture, base64 encoded, is attached.
I would like to debug all the operations from the UI, just to be able to isolate and correct the problem (maybe I did something wrong) but I didn't find a clear way to enable debugging.
Did someone have the same problem and a solution? Can someone tell me how to debug this kind of problems?
Thanks
Flavio
