Changes

This is intended to work in a host with Centos-4 (tested) or a , Centos-5, Fedora Core 5, Fedora Core distribution (not tested)6, RHEL 4 or any other RPM based based system with python 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 version.

* - A host with x86_64 Centos-4 distribution (or , Fedora Core or RHEL, or other Redhat based systems with python 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4 or version (vzrpm is unable to run with python 2.5 - not testedversion).

* You can only use the automatic install IF YOU HAVE <b>YUM </b> AND <b>RPM </b> PACKAGES INSTALLED IN YOUR SYSTEM, and if you want to install a Centos-4 cache template.* This process uses a bash script that automatizes which automates all the hard work made by hand in the manual install. It was successfully tested in several systems.* If something goes wrong, or if you want to understand the way it works to install a diferent cache templatedistribution, it's better to do the manual install, and try to adapt it to your needs.

* Download the file [http://linux.carreira.com.pt/ovzutils/setx86_64-0.23.tar.gz setx86_64-0.3] and then untar and run the script:

tar xzvf setx86_64-0.3.tar.gz./sh setx86_64

Press Enter and let some tests are made to know if you can go on with the script installation.If you choose to do all go on with it, the job script will download and patch everything for you.All the vztemplates metadata available in openvz.org site are also installed and fixed for x86_64 system.

When it finishes with the message "END INSTALL", you can go on reading this document jumping to the undermentioned <b>[[#STEP_10STEP_11|STEP 1011]]</b>.

We can't "yum install vzyum" because it breaks with an error:<br><b>Error: Missing Dependency: cElementTree.so is needed by package vzyum</b>

yum install vztmpl-centos-4 vzpkg*

The example is using <b>Centos-4</b> distribution (tested), but <b>Fedore CoreFedora</b> or other distribution with yum , rpm and rpm python (version 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4) installed, may be tried, if you . You only have to change the reference name and version in STEPS 1 to 4 (this was not tested).

If you didn't instal yet Install "vztmpl-centos-4", do it now:

Now we have a x86_64 centos template installed.<br>You can do the same procedure to other distro templates. 

:<code>cachedir=/vz/template/centos/4/x86_64/yum-cache</code>

:to

:<code>cachedir=/var/cache/yum-cache</code>

===== STEP 5 6 =====

Substitute 32 bit module "In Centos-4 version python is 2.3. So, we must replace rpmmodule.so" from vzrpm43-python to the 64 bit module that rpm-python-x86_64 provides, using this method:.

For CentOS-5In other Operating Systems or other versions, you will need must verify which python version is installed in the host system. Depending on that, the 32 bit files to do something a bit be replaced are different(read the setx86_64-0.3 script, line 320 to line 345, to understand how it is done).    <blockquote style="rpmmodule.sobackground: white; border: 1px solid rgb(153, 153, 153); padding: 1em;" is provided in your sitewide python distribution><b>Note:</b><br>Someone reported the note below, but the tests I made, so instead of copying <u>didn't confirm</u> it was really needed. Everything worked flawless without it across.<br>Nevertheless, if you need tofind some problems, try the workaround described below:<br><br>

<prei>For CentOS-5, you will need to do something a bit different. "rpmmodule.so" is provided in your sitewide python distribution, so instead of copying it across, you need to::rm /usr/share/vzpkgtools/vzrpm43/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rpmmodule.so</prei></blockquote>

===== STEP 6 7 =====

Edit the file /usr/share/vzpkg/<b>cache-os</b><br>

===== STEP 7 8 =====

Edit the file /usr/share/vzpkg/<b>functions</b><br>

===== STEP 8 9 =====

Edit the file /usr/bin/<b>vzyum</b><br>

The next piece of code fixed the vzyum bug described in [http://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=488#c0 bugzilla #488].<br>It was impossible to install a package group with spaces in his name.<br>Now we can use e.g. <b>vzyum groupinstall \"GNOME Desktop Environment\"</b>, or other group name listed in vzyum grouplist.<br>(Don't forget the backslash before each doublequote) <b> -Line 56:</b><pre>comment the line 56:#exec $YUM $YUM_ARGS $USER_ARGS</pre> <b> -Last Line (57):</b><br> <pre>add this code: TMPVZY=/tmp/tmpvzy.$$echo $YUM $YUM_ARGS $USER_ARGS > $TMPVZYsh $TMPVZYexec rm -f $TMPVZY</pre>  ===== STEP 9 10 =====

Change the next line:

===== STEP 10 11 =====

Make my first two template cachesList all x86_64 templates available:

They finish It finishes with complaints about <i>cron.daily</i>, but don't worry about it.Now <b>minimal</b> and <b>default</b> cache are is created. Confirm if they are were created: 

If you see it in the cache list, then you can create your first [[container]]:
