Hi folks, Ubuntu8.04 desktop i686 - host OpenVZ - Virtual server I have installed OpenVZ on Ubuntu. It is now running. Container can be created. But I haven't figured out how to install guest OS from its CD installer on the container. Please shed me some light. Pointer would be appreciated. TIA B.R. satimis
This doesn't work. You must use the templates from http://wiki.openvz.org/Download/template/precreated or create you own templates, e.g. like this: http://wiki.openvz.org/Creating_a_CentOS_5.0_Template
Hi falko, Thanks for your advice. I have run following steps; $ cd /var/lib/vz/template/cache $ sudo wget http://download.openvz.org/template/precreated/ubuntu-8.04-i 386-minimal.tar.gz Creating a container $ sudo vzctl create 101 --ostemplate ubuntu-8.04-i386-minimal Code: Creating VE private area (ubuntu-8.04-i386-minimal) Performing postcreate actions VE private area was created What shall I do next? Thanks In case if I can't find Ubuntu template on OpenVZ site and have to build my own template, on; http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=debootstrap which package shall I download? Furthermore if I can't find a template of an OS on OpenVZ site which I'm prepared to install what shall I do? TIA B.R. satimis

installing-and-using-openvz-on-ubuntu8 Hi Falko, if I understand it right, the given link does not answer the question, because it just repeats the procedure, wich satimis describeb. Or I´m wrong? As I´ve understood, the following command creates a virtual maschine on HardwareNode Code: vzctl create 178 --ostemplate debian-4.0-amd64-minimal --config vps.basic vzctl start 178 vzctl set 178 --onboot yes --save vzctl set 178 --ipadd 78.46.xxx.178 --save vzctl set 178 --numothersock 120 --save vzctl set 178 --nameserver 217.70.142.66 --nameserver 213.239.206.103 --nameserver 217.20.112.194 --save vzctl set 178 --netif_add eth0,00:12:34:56:78:9A --save vzctl exec 178 passwd Okay. But in this VM I want to create multiple VPSés for hosting and share the IP, given to the VM with them. If I´m right until here, my question is: Do I have to log in to the VM and than create the VPS in here. If "yes": Which commands I have to use. Beside this: I found out, when I logged into the VM I could do there absolutly nothing, because my server is chrooted. Ive tried with Putty, WinSCP and MySecureShell, but they all kicked me out immediatly´, as soon as I trie to execute any command. I also was not able, to change this in /ssh.config, but this is because I don´t understand enough of it. Could you be so kind and lend a helping hand? I´m arround with this problem now for over a week and can´t manage it. I´m really stucked and need some concret advice. So long Ralph
installing-and-using-openvz Hi, I´v managed the problem by installing OpenSSh- server and loggged in whith WinSCp. The problem now is, that I can not access Mysql, not as root and not as User "ralph". It answers just "access denied for...". Any idea, what to do? regards Ralph
How did you install MYSQL? Did you set a root MySQL password? This link might help you: http://www.howtoforge.com/reset-forgotten-mysql-root-password
