[SOLVED] The web GUI became inaccessible after uploading a self-signed certificate.

After uploading a self-signed certificate through Proxmox's web GUI, I am no longer able to access the web GUI. Could someone please advise me on how to resolve this issue?


systemctl status pveproxy

Hi,
please verify that the file located at /etc/pve/local/pveproxy-ssl.key really contains the private key, from the file sizes it rather seems to contain the certificate as in /etc/pve/local/pveproxy-ssl.pem

Thank you very much. We were able to resolve the issue by reissuing the .key and .pem files. I sincerely appreciate your help.
