Hi,
i am using a computer built around a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus UItra motherboard.
It has a core i7 CPU and 32GB of RAM.
It also has a Radeon RX-580 GPU - which I have tried removing to see if it would make a difference. It did not.
It has 3 SSDs of various sizes.


A year ago or so, I installed Proxmox 7.3 on a different system - and that went well. (Completely different Motherboard)
So when I need to spin up some virtual machines this weekend, I pulled out my 7.3 flashdrive and attempted to install it on the above hardware.
The installation seemed to go fine - but attempting to connect to it via port 8086 just got a connection refused.

I searched this forum and saw others with similar issues - and one of the troubleshooting steps was to check and see if the port was open or not via:

nmap -p 8086 IP_ADDRESS

In all of my permutations - I get the same results:

(query performed via ssh on the proxmox installation)

root@proxylady:~# nmap -p 8086 192.168.1.220
Starting Nmap 7.93 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2024-06-08 20:23 EDT
Nmap scan report for proxylady.local (192.168.1.220)
Host is up (0.000016s latency).

PORT STATE SERVICE
8086/tcp closed d-s-n

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.04 seconds
root@proxylady:~#


I have tried version 7.3, 7.4 and the latest 8.2 - all exhibit the same issue - 8086 is closed.

I dumped the journal and looked through it for any errors, and didn't seen any.

(journalctl > logs.txt && less logs.txt )

Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks!

Argh - I'm an idiot with old eyes and a small monitor.
I must have stared at it a 1000 times and every time saw 8086 ;-)

Thanks - working perfectly.

Glad you got access...have fun.
 
I had to laugh - similar things happened to me too :)
Please edit the first post and change the title to signal "Solved".

Best regards
