Any ideas?
I've searched the web, tryed to find any tutorials but, found nothing helpful, there are some for the old versions of proxmox, which all run host successfully,
and nothing regarding the new version with this error!
Can someone point me in the right direction please?


Thank you in advance!
Sincerely
Kampre
 
Take a look at the task log for that task - that should contain a more detailed error message.

Or simply run the start command on the command line:

# qm start 101

what error do you get then?
 
This the detail error message I've got:

=====================================================================
#qm start 101

What should I do?
