Hello,

i have a multihomed server and wanted to have a reverse proxy which can balance between all ip. Unfortunately, since i installed it, the gui isnt working properly. I cant open consoles and i have error 500: proxy not allowed everywhere

code_language.shell:
cat /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/proxmox
upstream proxmox {
    server lab1.work.com;
    server lab2.work.com;
    server lab3.work.com;
}

server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    rewrite ^(.*) https://$host$1 permanent;
}

server {
    listen 443;
    server_name _;
    ssl on;
    ssl_certificate /etc/pve/local/pve-ssl.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/pve/local/pve-ssl.key;
    proxy_redirect off;

    location / {
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        proxy_pass https://localhost:8006;
        proxy_buffering off;
        client_max_body_size 0;
        proxy_connect_timeout  3600s;
        proxy_read_timeout  3600s;
        proxy_send_timeout  3600s;
        send_timeout  3600s;
    }

}
 
hi,

can you post the output from: ls -alR /etc/nginx

/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/proxmox
this file should be called instead: /etc/nginx/conf.d/proxmox.conf

/etc/nginx/sites-enabled directory should be empty (also remove the default conf from there)

in the end run nginx -t to check your configuration syntax as well.

also take a look at the instructions here [0]

Hello @oguz,

of course i have followed the wiki topic. nginx - t was successful. I also do not see any issues why it shouldn't be in "sites-enabled" since the nginx documentation is recommending putting it there? But ill try asap



Bash:
:/etc/network# ls -alR /etc/nginx

Hello,

a reboot for the proxmox system works wonder... It is working now again :)

have you changed the config at all? or just did a reboot?

nevertheless you can explain your solution and mark the thread as [SOLVED] so others with the same issue can benefit as well ;)
 
I rebooted the node before i changed the config and it seemed to work fine. Nonetheless, i changed the file structure as you suggested and it still is working.

Maybe there has been other issues. Is there a logfile for the pve-gui?

maybe you just had to restart the nginx service, though i'm not sure ^^
thanks for explaining :)

yeah, you can take a look at /var/log/pveproxy/access.log and the system journals (journalctl)

edit: might make sense to take a look at nginx logs as well ;)
