Hi all, been trying to troobleshoot myself but I'm really getting out of options...

After restarting my Windows 10, I couldn't get Proxmox GUI to work... Just a blank/white page.
I noticed during the troobleshoot process that if I'm quick enough, after reboot and quickly open Chrome, I can make it work but if I close the tab afterwords I'm unable to reconnect to the gui.

The troubleshoot steps that I've explored:
  • Ping is working.
  • Cache was cleared.
  • Other browsers were used.
  • Command: service pveproxy restart
  • Firewall was disabled.
  • Firewall was reset.
  • Anti Virus was disabled.
  • Chrome Extensions disabled.
  • Other VM's or desktops don't have this issue. Therefore I use a VM to access Proxmox when this happens to avoid reboot.
Edited:
  • Incognito also does not solve this issue.
  • I've tried it without extensions and other browsers...
  • Cookies are allowed in the chrome


Still I can't manage to get it work properly in this particular machine.

Proxmox GUI actually returns this blank/white page in this situation:

Inspecting debug information in Chrome I've found this error:
Code:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 501 (no such file '/PVE/window/Wizard.js')

hi,

are you using any extensions on your browser? some extensions could cause problems if they interfere with html/js shown on the page.

does your browser allow cookies?

I do believe that there is something very starnge going on in this machine but must be related with this error that shows up about the Wizard.js file missing... Wondering if it is something related with java? Any further advice?

Thank you.
 
can you ssh into the server?

the missing file warning is interesting. maybe you could try apt update && apt dist-upgrade and then apt install pve-manager --reinstall to see if it fixes the issue

Yes oguz,

I could SSH just fine and I was up to date...

Unfortunatly I couldn't live anymore with this issue and ended up reinstalling windows 10... And it worked!
So that might be a solutions for this issue... (extreme but works)

Anyway, I think we can assume that it was not a proxmox issue like the logs were sugesting...

We may now close this thread. Thanks everyone for the help.
 
interesting. glad your problem is solved, and thanks for the information!
