[SOLVED] Proxmox not connecting to Network

[marcelw60]

Hello,

My HP2 Proxmox server was running normal on local ip 10.0.0.30 for a few months. In setting up an additional Proxmox server, by mistake I used the TTeck post install script on this HP2 server iso of the new server. This seems to have messed up a few things. The networking is not working anymore. I can't access the server with SSH and also ping to 10.0.0.30 doesn't give a response.

So, proxmox is NOT connecting to the network even though it says that it is available at 10.0.0.30. Is there a way I can reset the network configuration? What should be the default values in this case in /etc/network/interfaces file?

This is what I have in /etc/network/interfaces file now...




Any pointers to fix this will be of great help.

Thanks in advance.

Always be careful when using 3rd party scripts, I didn't check the one you used, but there have been situations in which an "improvement script" installed a trojan. Preferably, adjust the system manually and be mindful while doing so.

your /etc/network/interface configuration is looking good, have you tried reloading the interfaces?

ifreload -a

Thanks for yr hint Kevin!

I got a permission denied error using ifreload -a.
I searched for ifreload and permission denied and found this post

Using dpkg --configure -a, solved my problem. I can connect to the webui again and have access to the network.
It seems that raspotify client I use on this server was the culprit when the TTeck script updated PVE.
All fine now, have a great day!

Glad I could help. However, please note you should always use

apt dist-upgrade

Instead of apt upgrade in Proxmox VE[0].
