. tar.gz.tar.gz not found while trying to create a container
Debian 6.0.1 kernel 2.6.32-5-openvz-amd64 tools vzctl version 3.0.24 I believe I followed the instructions found on Howtoforge for setting up OpenVZ on Debian6.0 Squeeze (AMD64)...however, I must have made a mistake in setting everything up for openvz or I must be violating some rule I have missed... I plan was to initially create 3 different containers, each containing a different template, so I could later clone them as I needed them to populate /vz as I built my project which is going to use quite a few containers. So, I only did the first step in creating my first container since it did not seem to me to need to need the rest of the creation steps yet, since their sole purpose was to be cloned and then the clone would be modified for active use: # vzctl create 101 --ostemplate debian-6.0-amd64-minimal --config basic That worked great! It made the debian container numbered 101. So, I moved immediately to my second downloaded template choice--- here is my command and what my putty terminal displayed as the result with the problem highlighted in bold red in the printout: root@ispy2:/var/lib/vz/template/cache# vzctl create 102 --ostemplate ubuntu-10.04-minimal_10.04_amd64.tar.gz --config basic Creating container private area (ubuntu-10.04-minimal_10.04_amd64.tar.gz) Cached OS template /var/lib/vz/template/cache/ubuntu-10.04-minimal_10.04_amd64. tar.gz.tar.gz not found (NOTE: Notice there is a open space between amd64 and the first tar.gz and note the repetition of .tar.gz which appears to be why the template can not be found...i think.) Creation of container private area failed root@ispy2:/var/lib/vz/template/cache# ls debian-6.0-amd64-minimal.tar.gz ubuntu-10.04-lamp_10.04_amd64.tar.gz ubuntu-10.04-minimal_10.04_amd64.tar.gz root@ispy2:/var/lib/vz/template/cache# vzlist -a CTID NPROC STATUS IP_ADDR HOSTNAME 101 6 running - - What am I doing wrong to have vzctl think my template name has two ".tar.gz" instead of one? And why did it work the first time for 101 and not the second time for 102? Thanks!

This should resolve your issue :) With Debian you did it right :) Regards Kristian

Cheers !
