Hi all,

I have some issues with the network i guess... When i install cPanel on almalinux or centos 7 VM, after rebooting it's losing connection.

If i type ping 91.xx.xx.xx retrurns to:

Code: 
Request timeout for icmp_seq 0
Request timeout for icmp_seq 1
Request timeout for icmp_seq 2

92 bytes from 194.xx.xx.xx: Destination Host Unreachable
Vr HL TOS  Len   ID Flg  off TTL Pro  cks      Src      Dst
 4  5  00 5400 b051   0 0000  2f  01 6226 192.168.0.101  91.xx.xx.xx
 
HI,
please post your network configuration cat /etc/network/interfaces and the configs for the VMs which are not working qm config <VMID>.

Is the output of ping you are showing from within the VM, trying to reach the outside or are you trying to ping the VM from the outside?

I'm trying to ping it from outside. Basically when im trying to login to WHM with port :2087 it does nothing. Then i pinged it and returned those errors. Still i have access to proxmox and the VM console, but it's impossible accessing the VM from outside.
 
Hi,
you have seemingly the same IP address for the bridge vmbr0 and the primary interface. For an example of a routed network config see https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#sysadmin_network_routed

Also, is the VM reachable before you install cPanel, maybe the installer mangles with you network configuration? Further you could checked the network traffic with tcpdump on the proxmox host as well as inside the VM.

yes i can access the VM from outside before the cPanel installation, but seems like it’s disconnected afterwards

That’s how the provider had explain in their own tutorials so I followed it … what’s the best way to set them up?

This indicates that the installation probably changed the network configuration in your VM. Check IP address ecc. within VM

Here's what I'm getting when i type arp -a:

Code: 
? (91.xx.xx.65) at 54:1e:56:6d:a7:61 [ether] on primary
? (91.xx.xx.82) at <incomplete> on vmbr0
? (91.xx.xx.81) at <incomplete> on vmbr0
? (91.xx.xx.84) at <incomplete> on vmbr0
? (194.xx.xx.1) at 54:1e:56:6d:a7:61 [ether] on primary

82,81,84 are the IPv4 that i can use. Looks like they are disconnected ...?
 
Is there a firewall which might interfere?
