Spice connection refused on all VMs

[tecman240]

I have a proxmox stand-alone server that won't connect a spice console(from prox gui) to any VM. These guests are all windows-based and have run successfully in the past on this machine using spice. (I can connect to these VMs using proxmox NoVNC console)

I have a second machine running proxmox windows VMs with Spice successfully. From what I can tell, the two proxmox machines are configured identically.
Can someone give me some guidance on troubleshooting the:
"Unable to connect to the graphic server /...., Could not connect to proxy server ::1: Connection refused

thanks!

Hi,

Please post output of pveversion -v and config of VM qm config <VMID>

What kind of certificate did you used, is a custom certificate or default?

please check on your certificate, path is: /etc/pve/priv

 

[tecman240]

I'm just using the default. I never set up any certificates.

Hi,

I'm just using the default. I never set up any certificates.

Then create a new certificate with command pvecm updatecerts -f and try again.

That didn't help, it gives me the same error message.

i had the same problem as If you can't start a Spice session from the PVE Web gui,

i used this : spice.sh

nano spice.sh

#!/bin/bash

set -e

# needs pve-manager >= 3.1-44

usage() {
    echo "Usage: $0 [-u <string>] [-p <string>] vmid [node [proxy]]"
    echo
    echo "-u username. Default root@pam"
    echo "-p password. Default ''"
    echo
    echo "vmid: id for VM"
    echo "node: Proxmox cluster node name"
    echo "proxy: DNS or IP (use <node> as default)"
    exit 1
}
