New 3.2 installation, cannot connect via browser

[drauku]

I installed Proxmox VE 3.2 for the first time on my home server hardware today. I first attempted to install via USB key, but that didn't work at all... the installation timed out trying to "unmount cdrom". Well, I went back to the stone-age and burned a CD for the install ISO and it installed correctly, and without issue at all.

I now cannot connect to the Proxmox host via my PC on the local network, but I can ping the host IP address from my PC no problem. Checking ifconfig on the proxmox host, the network adapter is working and has an IP address on the local network (statically assigned, 192.168.1.100). This correctly correlates with my router IP assignment list. Additionally, from the host I am able to ping 4.2.2.2, yahoo.com, and my personal PC on the local network.

Here is the output from ifconfig, transcribed from the proxmox cmd line login on the physical hardware:

root@proxmox:~$ ifconfig

All hardware is working fine (I have another HDD I still have XenServer installed on, one with Windows Server 2008r2, and another with a Linux Mint desktop version just for kicks that I used to test the hardware).

Mainboard: Gigabyte A75M-UD2H
AMD Athlon II X4 CPU
16GB memory
2x AOC-SASLP-MV8 SAS Raid Cards

Any insight or help would be appreciated!

can you post output of
#hostname
#cat /etc/hosts
#/etc/network/interfaces
?

Hope these answer your questions appropriately:

#root@proxmox:~# hostname
proxmox
#root@proxmox:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.100 proxmox.local proxmox pvelocalhost

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts

::1        ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0  ip6-localnet
ff00::0  ip6-mcastprefix
ff00::1  ip6-allnodes
ff00::2  ip6-allrouters
ff00::3  ip6-allhosts

root@proxmox:~# /etc/network/interfaces
-bash: /etc/network/interfaces: Permission denied

#/etc/network/interfaces

sorry it was
#cat /etc/network/interfaces

 

[drauku]

sorry it was
#cat /etc/network/interfaces

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
  address 192.168.1.100
  netmask 255.255.255.0

Sorry, I should have caught that myself.

at first look, your /etc/network/interfaces is missing eth0 (see http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Network_Model) but it apears to be up by ifconfig... could be not related.

How do you (web) connect?
you should try by https://your.pve.node.ip:8006

does ssh work (always using ip address on standard port 22)?

Thanks! I got it to work with the https://192.168.1.100:8006

Funny thing, I had tried that before and it didn't work... perhaps when I tested SSH as the first thing it "forced" something to work? I'm not sure....

I am still missing the eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces but who knows if it's a relevant issue or not.

Again, thanks for the help... I just wish when I'd tried that initially it had worked (perhaps I forgot the port when trying the https, or the https when trying the port...).

Checking the Network config tab on the GUI, eth0 is not set to "autostart" so that's why it won't show up on the interfaces cat.

neither is mine, but afaik it should be in that interfaces file, at least if your setup supports that.
that file should have been created by pve itself at install or after network modifications and reboot...
