I'm using a fresh install of proxmox2 (from ovh), upgraded to latest version.
When using CreateVM / CreateCT the "node" drop down list has one entry with no name, and when selected the dropdown stays empty with an error : "Node seems to be offline! Field is required":

What has gone wrong and what to do to get it right ?

check /etc/hosts (post it here).

as OVH does a custom install, you should ask also there.
 
What should be in this drop down ?


# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
46.xxx.xxx.xxx ns22xxxx.ovh.net ns22xxxx


# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
#(added automatically by netbase upgrade)
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
feo0::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
 
I found the problem.

In /etc/hostname there have to be the fully qualified host name.


 
might not be the same but I've had this problem too, tried firefox from IE and it worked again, result! went back to IE also worked?!? result... lol

Happened a few times always seem to work in FF and once i've seen them again in FF it works everywhere again...
