Login to Proxmox web GUI, connection reset

[kokoticek]

The correct way to enter web GUI is with https://<ip_address>:8006

But very often I miss the port number and type just the ip address, which gives me "the connection has been reset" in the web browser.

I have no clue what may be broken with this mistake, so I always shutdown server, unplug it from AC for several minutes, then up again and hoping nothing got broken or corrupted...

When this happens, is Proxmox put on any kind of corruption risk or danger for web GUI or VMs themselves?

This has happened some several times... no need to clean-reinstall whole Proxmox server?

Thanks.

Hi,

have you tried to clean the browser cache?
And/Or connect with ssh to the host and restart the pveproxy

systemctl restart pveproxy.service

Er...

What I wanted to ask is, do Proxmox server or some of its components get damaged when mistakenly typing URL without the port number, thus getting the "connection reset" error?

If so, is it just enough to clear browser cache, restart proxmox proxy, or just reboot whole proxmox server?
Or could it be that in an unlucky time server could sustain corruption beyond repair and it'd need to be fully clean reinstalled?

Thanks again.

No definitely not.
But I guess your browser is caching something and do not retry the address.
