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 one command missing in the instructions for debian.

When I came to vzctl start 777 I received the message

Starting VE ...
VE private area /var/lib/vz/private/777 does not exist

After some researches at the forum I and the wiki I found out that the step vzctl create 777 --ostemplate debian-3.1-i386-minimal as described in the "OS template cache preparation" is missing in the debian specific section.

Now I could start and enter the new VE.

One of the first steps in the new VE should be the installation of security patches via apt-get update, apt-get upgrade. This fails because of missing nameservers. I added the line nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to /etc/resolv.conf and updates work.
