[SOLVED] Proxmox-WebGui and qm hang on the console

[BrotherJ]

Hello everyone,

I'm a bit at a loss at the moment. First of all, I have installed Proxmox Virtual Environment 8.0.2. And so far logging into the WebGui on port 8006 has not been a problem. This suddenly no longer works and I can no longer display the Vms with

qm list

on the console, the command hangs.

I tried restarting the service or starting it when it hung with this result:

systemctl start pveproxy.service
Job for pveproxy.service failed because a timeout was exceeded.
See "systemctl status pveproxy.service" and "journalctl -xeu pveproxy.service" for details.

On port 8006 is the server listening:

ss -tlnp | grep 8006
LISTEN 212    4096               *:8006             *:*    users:(("pveproxy worker",pid=2958444,fd=6),("pveproxy worker",pid=2958233,fd=6),("pveproxy worker",pid=2044960,fd=6))

ss -tlnp | grep pveproxy
LISTEN 212    4096               *:8006             *:*    users:(("pveproxy worker",pid=2958444,fd=6),("pveproxy worker",pid=2958233,fd=6),("pveproxy worker",pid=2044960,fd=6))

On the other hand, the VMs appear to be running because mail, web and DNS servers are accessible from outside. How do I get the webgui working again and the qm command? I would like to avoid a complete reboot of the Proxmox server because the mail server is particularly essential.

Best regards

BrotherJ
