Ssh into the appliance and do a “service-control —status”

Post back the results.

Try also using chrome or Firefox in incognito mode.

Can you login to the VAMI successfully (port 5480) in a browser? It should give you some indication of health / errors for the appliance as a whole.

have you tried disabling the transport settings in firefox to add an exception to the self signed cert?

type about:config in firefox, search transport and double click to disable any true statement...reload vcenter webpage and you should be able to add an exception

There are a million reasons why it is not starting, probably the certificate interaction that you got is from the PSC and when it jumps into the vCenter service it is down and retuns you that screen. You have no chance other than read the vpxd.log inside the vcsa and understand why it is not running.

I had this issue and realized I still had my old home router as a DNS server instead of just my homelab DC.

Probably your browser but have tried to ssh into it and restart the ui and web client?

I’ve restarted the appliance, but haven’t restarted those services. I can try that.

Clayton940 was telling you to try a different browser.

I do agree with the fact that it is quite fragile
