Unable to load access control list: Connection refused

you need to get pve-cluster running for all of that to work.

cockpit is interfering with your hostname. that's why it's failing.

uninstall cockpit, put it in a VM instead if you have to use it.
okay

please stop spamming...

i've already told you what to do. you need to correct your /etc/hosts and restart the pve-cluster service.

if the service isn't restarting properly, check the output of journalctl -xe like it suggests you. read the error messages and search in the forum.

192.168.1.4 lucadev.tk lucadev localhost

now
but not working the restart

The problem is here:

/usr/bin/pmxcfs
fuse: mountpoint is not empty
fuse: if you are sure this is safe, use the 'nonempty' mount option
[main] crit: fuse_mount error: File exists
[main] notice: exit proxmox configuration filesystem (-1)
 
try rebooting your node.

you're spamming the forum too much, your account is an hour old with 20 posts. please tone it down. don't successively post every couple of minutes...

this is a common misconfiguration, just search in the forum for the error message and you will find answers to this exact issue.

How to fix this?
 
Do you have files in /etc/pve already? Move them somewhere else and then restart the pve-cluster service with systemctl restart pve-cluster.service
 
Same problem here. Installed from your official ISO on my machine at home.
Gave it during installation the name rigel.home.org, was still pve.localdomain in /etc/hosts

So changed /etc/hosts to

Code:
root@pve:/etc# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.2.20 rigel.home.org rigel

And rebooted the machine. Guess what: machine comes up, again named "PVE", the web frontend is not accessible anymore, but I can SSH into it. Then I thought maybe

Code:
root@pve:/etc# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.2.20 rigel.home.org rigel pvelocalhost

because instructions unclear, tried to restart

Code:
░░ The job identifier is 5215 and the job result is done.

o_O

There are quite some of these in the logs, but that shouldn't matter much - should it?

Code:
Aug 07 13:28:19 pve pveproxy[2151]: /etc/pve/local/pve-ssl.key: failed to load local private key (key_file or key) at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/APIServer/AnyEvent.pm line 1891.

Be it as it may, my PVE7 playground is broken now. Luckily it's just a playground. Won't touch the 6.4 production PVEs for sure.

Also solved. /etc/hostname remained "pve". Changing that and many things start to work automagically.
It's a little unfortunate - especially when the correct name was given during the installation.
