Web Gui Unreachable

DESCRIPTION

I can't reach the webUi of my PVE. The networking is up and running. I can reach the host using SSH. I'm not sure what's going on.

I pulled some services that aren't currently running. The only ones I'd be a little concerned about are: pvestatd, pve-guests, and maybe pve-cluster I don't use the rest and I have nothing configured for them.

 

[minion]

To mention, I've installed some updates and minor upgrades, and also a reboot. It came back online OK, but I was having issues with the web console failing to start so I rebooted again, but now I can't access the web Ui at all. The page fails to load as if the server address is unreachable.

anything in the pveproxy logs (journalctl -u pveproxy)?

root@pve:~# journalctl -u pveproxy

It's a huge output but it's all about the pve-ssl.key failure.

 

[Moayad]

have you changed ssl-keys?

what the output of

~ find /etc/pve | grep -v qemu
~ journalctl -u pve-cluster

~ find /etc/pve | grep -v qemu
~ journalctl -u pve-cluster

I haven't changed keys recently although on the key I use from Let's Encrypt expired and I'm still having issues renewing because of DNSSEC issues

 

[Moayad]

please post output of the following commands:

~ ip a
~ cat /etc/hosts
~ cat /etc/network/interfaces

I noticed 6: vmbr0:
inet 10.255.254.252/32 is supposed to be /24

Do I manually have to append it on the static address assignment:
e.g.

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 10.255.254.251/24
gateway 10.255.254.254
bridge-ports enp8s0
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0

i hope that helps

It sure did help.

My /etc/hosts file had

```
127.0.0.1    pve.localdomain    pve
10.255.254.251 pve.mydomain.com pve
```

## Changed to
```
# 127.0.0.1    pve.localdomain    pve
10.255.254.251 pve.mydomain.com pve
```

## Restarted pve-cluster
```
root@pve:~# systemctl status -l pve-cluster

- Now everything is working again

Thank you very much for your helpful and thoughtful recommendations, @Moayad. Have a nice weekend

127.0.0.1 pve.localdomain pve

This should be 127.0.0.1 localhost. Removing it may cause trouble if services try to resolve localhost.

Oh-oh! I'll definitely take a look into it in a moment. Thanks for pointing that out!
