I remember, that I had the same error somewhere near the beginning of this year, yet I cannot recall how I fixed it.

Please post the entries in /etc/hosts (in CODE tags please)

i have the same issue as described above, started with a fresh debian box, following https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Stretch

As this isn ot the first PVE box i have set up i did comparisons on the other running machines .. could not find anything out of the ordinary.
Only difference is that those machines were setup with Jessie and Pve, and lateron upgraded to Stretch .. this new box is stretch from start.

@lnxbill /etc/hosts is same as on the already runnig machines, and

hostname --ip-address

Does show the correct IP

Just as a comparison i re-installed the machine with the Debian Jessie version from scratch ( as it was not functioning anyways i have room to play)

Hardware : DL380 Generation 5 2x Quad core cpu / 32M ram

Yes i know its out-dated hardware, still its more then sufficient for my needs

Partitioning :

- 500M /boot
- 20Gb /
- 2Gb swap
-> will setup lvm for the rest of the storage for hosting the VM's

Setup patterns : unchanged from default selections

After initial setup changed the IP from dhcp to fixed (having it the same of all the other machines as comparison (except the ip itself ofc) and editted /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1       localhost
#127.0.1.1      prox04.domainname.tld      prox04
172.16.0.33     prox04.domainname.tld      prox04

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

Then started following the https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Jessie guide

This went without any issue and i ended up with a working PVE 4.4-22 host ( tested login on port 8006 - flawless!)

After that i grabbed the upgrade-guide https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_4.x_to_5.0

This guide is missing the sed line to deal with the no-subscription, so for completeness its added below :

sed -i 's/jessie/stretch/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-install-repo.list

After performing the dist-upgrade and rebooting the machine i have successfully ended up with a working PVE 5.1-46 host

So this works, without any pain.

The install which leaded to the issues as stated by the topic-starter was :

- install Jessie (this has to do with the hardware and the recognition of my P400 raid controller)
- upgrade to stretch
- install PVE 5.1 directly according to the stretch debian guide.
