Hi,

I google for a way t find why I was getting no response from webGUI and used this:

systemctl status pve-cluster pveproxy pvedaemon

The out come was:

Linux TNSR 5.13.19-3-pve #1 SMP PVE 5.13.19-7 (Thu, 20 Jan 2022 16:37:56 +0100) x86_64

So it looks like pve-cluster.service is not running and tried to start it by systemctl start pve-cluster.service and it just returned:

Job for pve-cluster.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status pve-cluster.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.


So has suggested i used journalctl -xe to get the log and this is what came out:

Has you can see it states that can not load the key_file, and the reason is the /etc/pve/local/ does not exist so the file also does not.
How can i solve this, can anyone help me?
I installed TNSR Home+Lab trial on a virtual machine just before i got this problem if this helps.

Thank you,
Alex
 
Solution?
After installing proxmox 7 in OVH and restarting my machine, i cant access proxmox webgui..
 
Hi,
please share the output of pveversion -v and journalctl -b -u pve-cluster.service.
