I tried to access the proxmox web UI today and found it not listening. Everything else seems fine.

Code:
root@gandalf:~# systemctl restart pveproxy.service
root@gandalf:~# systemctl status pveproxy.service
● pveproxy.service - PVE API Proxy Server

And yet, nothing is listening on port 9090 like it's supposed to be.

Suggestions?

Thanks.
