hello all,

i just installed a proxmox VE and I have problem accessing the www interface.
i can access via ssh, but https connection lasts forever..
Its a fresh installation on Hetzner, i installed debian 9, and followed these instructions, letter by letter
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Stretch

access log is empty
Code:
root@Babis ~ # ls -al /var/log/pveproxy/access.log
-rw-r----- 1 www-data www-data 0 Apr 12 00:14 /var/log/pveproxy/access.log

netstat result is this
Code:
root@Babis ~ # netstat -an | grep 8006

this is tcpdump result:

no firewall, and the following command does not return anything..

Code:
curl -s -k https://localhost:8006 | grep title

this is a possible cause for the error...

Code:
root@Babis ~ # pvesh get nodes
unable to read '/etc/pve/nodes/Babis/pve-ssl.pem' - No such file or directory

here is where i say that my problem is solved.. :)

i run this
Code:
pvecm updatecerts -f
and my problem solved...

but it was a pity not to share this post.. :)

it's a known issue, patches are already on pve-devel, and packages should be available next week. sorry for the hassle!

This "pvecm updatecerts -f" just saved me from about 4hrs long troubleshooting. I created the account just to show appreciation and also confirmed to PVE-newbies like me that, that code worked like charm. I can't thank you enough!
