I'm running proxmox on debian 6.0.8 kernel 2.6.32-18-pve.

When I try to log into the GUI with the root password, it lets me in for about 2 seconds then asks for the password again:

<hostname>:8006/api2/json/cluster/resources 401 (permission denied - invalid ticket)

This is not the same behavior as when I give an incorrect password.

I suspect a hostname problem, but I can't sort it out.

My /etc/hosts contains the following line:

<ip> <shorthostname> <longhostname>  pvelocalhost

The folder /etc/pve/nodes contains a folder name

The https certificates matches the hostname.

Any idea?

TIA
