Debian container not starting

Hi to all

I moved my server's to Debian, so that I could utilizes the openVZ kernel.

I have managed to install ISPConfig 3 and it all seems to be working.

I have also managed to create a virtual server using a Ubuntu template via ISPConfig 3.

Now the problem is I also attempted to create a Debian container, However this container fails to initialize.

Seeing as I am experimenting with this setup, to see how it works, I don't have a clue whats wrong or where to start looking.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

 

Code:

#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

I think you may need to see my fdisk -l as well

Do you get any errors when you try to start the VM?

 

remount error

Hi Falko

No I didnt get any errors when starting the vm but i just tried to run

Code:

mount -o remount /

again and get

Code:

mount: permission denied

I'm still cluless !

 

Have you tried to reboot?

 

Yes I rebooted

But still not go

I just looked into /vz/private and the direcory in not being created

 

Hi there

Yes I did the same as what i did for the Ubuntu template which is working with no problems, but the Debian is not initializing.

 

Bump

Any help please

 

I am trying the very same thing -- same issues. In the logfile is "Container config file does not exist". No container is being made.

*edit* The container config file message is when I tried to start it. So logical, because no container was setup... I have no idea how to fix this, please give me suggestions...

 

This does nothing helpful by the way. You see "/usr/sbin/vzctl" or not even that. Setting ispconfig's logging to debug does nothing interesting.

What is ispconfig trying to do when it creates the VM? I would try the commands manually but.... I would need to know what they are. It would also help to know what ispconfig puts into the database so that I know which VZ config it should use.

Sorry, it's been two days so am a bit annoyed, but please don't read this in the wrong way. Maybe there is a bug somewhere. I did follow every step described in http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-openvz-plus-management-of-vms-through-ispconfig-3-debian-6.0. The only difference is that I am using nginx instead of apache. But with years of ISPConfig 3 experience (except for OpenVZ) I got that to run smoothly.

So let's hunt it down?

(in fact, just now I subscribed as a supporter because of all the help and dedication from Till and Falko. I should have done that earlier. hopefully more people will subscribe, it's really worth it.)

 

Found it! I installed ispconfig and then rebooted to the openvz-capable kernel. So what I had to do was...

Code:

cd /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-enabled
ln -s /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-available/openvz_plugin.inc.php
