Ubuntu: PMS is running, but its kinda not. WebIF working, server not found

Server was running fine for years, suddenly its refusing to serve anything.

Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
PMS: 1.14.1.54880cc260c476

PMS service is running, however when i try to connect from http://:32400/web it gives an ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED in Chrome. (ofcourse, router portforward is checked)

When i try to connect on local lan http://:32400/web, it does start the webinterface, and allows me to login. However, the media server shows as offline.

Tried to update the server (it was running 1.13.xxx when the problem occurred), no difference, still same problem.
Followed the DB repair procedures, still same problem.
Deleted all ssh/cert/key files, reinstall 1.14.xxx, still same problem.
Tried to delete database, still same issue.
(reverted back all of above, back to my baseline)

As i cannot enter the server settings, i’m not able to enable debug logging. In the regular log, i dont see any issues, yet, the server is not reachable…
