Hi,

i have Proxmox freshly installed on my server at home.
It was running fine until rebooted.

No everything seems to work but the web gui.
The containers start at boot.
The VMs start.
Everything is reachable.
SSH to server is fine.

But i cant connect on https://myip:8006

I tried
service pveproxy restart
service pvedaemon restart
no success.

Code:
 tail /var/log/daemon.log

Any hint welcome. Havent changed a thing as far as i know. Last update (non-enterprise repository) without problems. Even booting afterwards no problem. Now reboot -> no web gui. I dont know why.

So if anybody can help out, youre welcome :D

Greetings
 
LOL i just fixed it i think.

I saw the accee.log permission denied stuff in the logfile.
checked it and owner + group was root.
only rw to owner.
compared to access.log.1 = owner and group was www-data and rw to owner and r to group.
so i changed according to access.log.1 and restartet pveproxy and pvedaemon.
no i can login.

Somebody any clue WHY it had the wrong permissions?
I never ever really never i swear blood tears never ever changed that :D
I didnt even know the file.

Would appreciate an answer if possible as i dont want to happen that again.

Greetings and good night now.

Stefan
