Hi,

1. Have you set DNS server for your VPS? (If no please look at "man vzctl" page --nameserver parameter).
2. Is this persistent problem? Try to wget again.

Thank You!

Hi,

1. Can you ping something from inside the VE? For example

#ping google.com

2. Can you please attach the result of

# strace -f -o filename wget http://layer1.cpanel.net/latest

3. Can you please show the output

cat /proc/user_beancounters

Thank You!

cat /etc/resolv.conf

i recommend you change the config files of the VPS so it uses that values automaticaly. The config files are inside: /etc/sysconfig/vz-scripts and the entry is call: NAMESERVER=\"10.0.80.11\" You can changed + add whatever nameserver you want, then you need to restart the vz so the effect to change. After this is done, it will for ever use the correct info, and you will not need to change them ever again.

Hi,

you can use vzctl to set appropriate nameserver.
Just type the command:

vzctl set <VEID> --nameserver <IP> --save

where is:
<VEID> - your VE ID
<IP> - appropriate nameserver IP

P.S.
If it will be impossible to ping google.com after this command check if it is possible to ping it using it IP address or please try to use this nameserver

vzctl set <VEID> --nameserver 4.2.2.4 --save

Thank You!
