HELLO ALL,
first thanks for Your help in advance!

I'm a bloody noob to proxmox & linux, installed my PVE a week ago, and its running flawless since then.
But today I'm facing a strange problem:

I cant reach the GUI/Dashboard any more via web browser, it connects successfully, but I only get a blank (white) page.
(tried Firefox, Chrome, Opera on different Windows PCs and Android, within my Homenetwork)
With the offical "Proxmox VE" App on my android phone I can reach the Dashboard, although it uses the same address: https://192.168.178.99:8006/
ssh via putty also works flawless

All of my containers and all services seem to be running O.K.
It's only the Dashboard



Already tried many hints within the internet, like restarting services:

# service pveproxy restart
# service pvedaemon restart

but nothing changes!

=====================================================
Additional Info:
Yesterday I installed sshfs, mounted a cloud dirve and added in "/etc/fstab" the following line:

sshfs#HiDrive-Benutzername@sftp.hidrive.strato.com:/users/HiDrive-Benutzername /mnt/hidrive fuse uid=1002,gid=100,umask=0,allow_other,_netdev 0 0

Could this be the mistake?
 
Hi,
please try to connect via curl from the cli and post the output in code tags
Code:
curl -k -v https://192.168.178.99:8006

Also please provide the output of systemctl status pveproxy pvedaemon pvecluster and pveversion -v

So all fine on the server side then. Do you get any errors in the browsers developer tools console? Do you have recent enough browser versions? See https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pv..._web_browsers_for_accessing_the_web_interface
 
Do you have recent enough browser versions?
Well until yesterday my browser showed the dashboard.
And today I tried 2x Windows PC (Firefox, Opera, Chrome) & 1 Android phone (Opera, Firefox) (all upto date)
just to ensure it's not a browser problem: They all connect & show Proxmox as Task, but only a blank page.

But still:
"Proxmox Virtual Environment" Android App works although it uses the same address: https://192.168.178.99:8006/

ssh via putty also works flawless
 
I did:
# apt --reinstall install pve-manager

# service pveproxy restart
# service pvedaemon restart

But it still blank page in the browser

Can't anybody give me a hint, what I could do to get my Dashboard running again?
PLEASE HELP!!!
 
Okay, so at least you now don't get the 501 error code for that one request anymore. You will probably also have to reinstall apt --reinstall install proxmox-widget-toolkit. Further, you can check the files checksums on disk against the package ones by running debsums pve-manager proxmox-widget-toolkit -a -s. If this gives no output, the files are fine. Note that debsums needs to be installed first, as it is not part of a standard PVE installation.
