Installation support

e_jw · Sep 21, 2024

Hi all,

Thought I'd dip my toe into Proxmox, I'm familiar with VMWare and Hyper-V. But thought I'd give this a crack.

I've installed a fresh system from the latest ISO 8.2-2. But after completing the quick installation the web browser doesn't seem to work.

- I can ping the box
- I can SSH to the box
- I can get a response from curl

Bash:

e_jw@MB ~ % curl -k https://192.168.0.5:8006/

When checking logs I do seem to see some errors messages.

Some article seem to have suggested time, but this doesn't appear to be an issue.

Any ideas?

Hi @e_jw , welcome to the forum.

Can you describe what this ^ means specifically?

The fact that "curl" works means that the web server on PVE side is responding. The response looks appropriate for functional installation.
Have you tried a different browser, incognito, disabling extensions? Have you applied any 3rd party "helper" scripts that promise a "better" experience? Have you examined the browser console for any errors?

Well now I feel stupid.

I managed to resolve the RRDC errors using this command set

Bash:

systemctl stop rrdcached
mv /var/lib/rrdcached/db /var/lib/rrdcached/db.bck
systemctl start rrdcached
systemctl restart pve-cluster

from here -- https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/rrdc-and-rrd-update-errors.76219/

I had tried multiple browsers but none worked. I thought ah sod it i'll try another device and it worked. Turns out I had some old ad-blocking installed that was getting in the way. Seems like it's working now.

Thanks!
