== ip_forward setup ==

 If you want network access for the virtual server then you need to enable IP forwarding.
 Set "ip_forward" to yes in /etc/network option.
 # editor /etc/network/options

: /etc/network/options is deprecated. ip_forward may be enabled in /etc/sysctl.conf by adding the line "net.ipv4.ip_forward=1"

== Debian Etch has been released ==

Sarge is no longer stable and has been replaced by Etch.  This document needs to be updated for Etch

* References to Sarge need to be updated to use Etch instead.
* Lenny is the new Debian testing.  If you wish to continue to have a testing section listed, update it for Lenny.  Otherwise remove the testing section.
* Use the official Debian mirrors to get the OpenVZ packages.

== Interface settings still give me an error. ==

I did an update on:

 [...]
 # device: %DEV%
 iface %DEV% inet static
        address 192.168.0.2
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.2.0
        broadcast 192.168.2.255
        gateway 192.168.2.1
 
        '''up sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.%DEV%.proxy_arp=100'''
        '''pre-down sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.%DEV%.proxy_arp=0'''
 [...]

since the debian docs (/usr/share/doc/vzctl/README.Debian) told me this were the right values, but now I get on starting/stopping a VE:
 vps-net_del WARNING: Function proxy_arp for eth0 is set to 0. Enable with 'sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.eth0.proxy_arp=1'. See /usr/share/doc/vzctl/README.Debian.

The previous settings (see history) also gave me errors:
 [...]
 # device: %DEV%
 iface %DEV% inet static
        address 192.168.0.2
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.2.0
        broadcast 192.168.2.255
        gateway 192.168.2.1
 
        '''up sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.%DEV%.proxy_arp=0'''
        '''pre-down sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.%DEV%.proxy_arp=1'''
 [...]

Anybody got a clue what the right values are?

See http://wiki.openvz.org/w/index.php?title=Installation_on_Debian&oldid=2629, forum entry http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&goto=10089 and http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=387762

@vips: btw why have you change the settings to the buggy version of /usr/share/doc/vzctl/README.debian ?

So try a up sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.%DEV%.proxy_arp=1, not 100!

Because with the 'right' version I get this warning on starup/shutdown of a VE:
 vps-net_add WARNING: Function proxy_arp for eth0 is set to 0. Enable with 'sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.eth0.proxy_arp=1'. See /usr/share/doc/vzctl/README.Debian.

So I guessed the right values were in /usr/share/doc/vzctl/README.Debian. I didn't know these values were buggy.

@Curx: got any idea how to get rid of this warning?

== Installation on Debian 6 Squeeze (stable) ==

This document seems rather old, but I've been able to install OpenVZ without any prior knowledge of the subject on a debian stable (squeeze) fresh install, using only the default repositories and apt-get commands and the instructions for debian lenny. My point is that the article can be quite confusing and a simpler one could be written. And in case anybody needed to install openvz in an old debian version, you could keep a link to the current article. --[[Special:Contributions/95.21.175.189|95.21.175.189]] 16:20, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
