Hello together,

I upgraded my first instance (test instance) from 6.4 up to 7.1-1

I followed this:
https://pmg.proxmox.com/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_from_6.x_to_7.0#In-Place_Upgrade

The update is done, having now a Bullseye and packages are all up - but it looks like PMG isn't working anymore as it should - especially the management interface isn't reachable anymore - smtp itself is still working and reachable.

Are any issues known upgrading from 6.4 to 7.x ? What can I do to fix it? I'm not so familiar with the Proxmox related interface.

Before I upgrade further (production) instances I would like to find out what went wrong or how to fix it.

Thanks for help.
 
Yes - the complete proxmox management interface is still not working. Only error that the browser can't establish a connection to the server :/

So looks like something is broken - does the management interface have a own logfile where I could check it?
 
Can you login to ssh? Run below command and show the output

Code:
systemctl | grep pmg
systemctl status pmgproxy
lsof -P -i -n | grep 8006

Mmmh, the both services do not exist :confused:
And on the Port 8006

I searched in the repo...
Bash:
apt list |grep proxmox
proxmox-mailgateway-container/stable 7.1-1 all [residual-config]

So looks like this package got removed don't know why. (the other packages were still existing)

So far I tried to reinstall:
Bash:
apt install proxmox-mailgateway-container
reboot

And yeah - it's working now with the updated version.

Thank you @hata_ph - your input has given me the right way. It's solved :)
