problem with path[edit]
Hi all, This is my first trial with openVZ and a wiki. Please give me some hints, if anything is wrong. Don't hesitate to correct my poor english.
I just installed openVZ on a rather old test box with Debian. Installation failed at first and I suppose there is a wrong path statement used for the debian packages.
When I came to
vzctl start 777
I received the message
Starting VE ...
VE private area /var/lib/vz/private/777 does not exist
Moving the directory 777 from /vz/private to /var/lib/vz/private solves this problem.
Now I could start and enter the new VE. --(unsigned)

Debian template creation[edit]
For backward compablity to main OpenVZ:
Create a symlink from /var/lib/vz to /vz
# ln -s /var/lib/vz /vz
Update document for Debian Etch[edit]
Updated.
I'm not sure how to fit it in, but if your hardware node is Debian Etch, you don't have to make a temporary VE to create a template. You can just chroot into it instead, which probably saves some hassle. It's probably not worth making a whole new page for it and it'd probably cause confusion to add it to this document. If someone knows what to do with that information, feel free to do something. I always just use a chroot because it's so much easier for me. But when I tried it on a RedHat box, it didn't quite work out for some interesting locale reason when installing the SSH package.
