Was doing some troubleshooting, and noticed that I didn't see any DNS servers. So I went into /etc/network/interfaces and set dns-nameservers to 192.168.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 . Rebooted. Now the Web GUI doesn't come up. I checked the file, and it looks the same as before I touched it (no dns-nameserver field). I can access the host with SSH, but I just get timed out when connecting to https://192.168.1.200:8006/ through a web browser. Checked netstat -ltn | grep 8006 and it is set to listen.

Any ideas?
 
It was an issue with /etc/hosts . While troubleshooting a few weeks ago, I added this line that I read from an article, but never rebooted:

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 proxmox-host

After removing that line, and then changing /etc/hostname from proxmox-host to proxmox-host.local and then performing a reboot, I am now able to access the Web GUI for Proxmox.

FYI, now /etc/hosts , in regards to IPv4, only contains:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.200 proxmox-host.local proxmox-host
