		Hi folks, 
 
host - Ubuntu 8.04-i386 
guest - Ubuntu 8.04-i386 minimal 
 
I tried to install Debian 5.0 without success.  Steps performed as follows; 
 
$ cd /var/lib/vz/template/cache/ 
 
$ sudo vzctl create 105 --ostemplate debian-5.0-i386-minimal --config vps.basic
Creating VE private area (debian-5.0-i386-minimal)
Performing postcreate actions
VE private area was created
  
 
 
$ sudo vzctl set 104 --hostname vz4.satimis.com --save
Warning: distribution not specified default used /etc/vz/dists/default
Saved parameters for VE 104  
 
$ cat /et/vz/dists/default
ADD_IP=redhat-add_ip.sh
DEL_IP=redhat-del_ip.sh
SET_HOSTNAME=redhat-set_hostname.sh
SET_DNS=set_dns.sh
SET_USERPASS=set_userpass.sh
SET_UGID_QUOTA=set_ugid_quota.sh
POST_CREATE=postcreate.sh
  
 
 
Please advise how to fix the problem.  Whether it is NOT allowed running OS other than similar to the host?  TIA 
 
 
Edit: 
 
Something strange happened here. 
 
After googling a while without remedy solving my problem.  I exited Ubuntu 8.04 and turned off the PC. 
 
About half hour later I switched on the PC re-starting OpenVZ and performed following steps. 
 
$ sudo vzctl destroy 104 
$ sudo rm /etc/vz/conf/104.conf.destroyed 
$ cd /var/lib/vz/template/cache/ 
 
$ sudo vzctl create 104 --ostemplate debian-5.0-i386-minimal --config vps.basic
Creating VE private area (debian-5.0-i386-minimal)
Performing postcreate actions
VE private area was created
  
 
 
$ sudo vzctl set 104 --hostname vzd4.satimis.com --save
Saved parameters for VE 104
  
 
 
$ sudo vzctl set 104 --ipadd 192.168.0.104 --save
Saved parameters for VE 104
  
 
 
$ sudo vzctl set 104 --nameserver 202.14.67.4 --nameserver 202.14.67.14 --save
Saved parameters for VE 104
  
 
 
$ sudo vzctl start 104
Starting VE ...
VE is mounted
Adding IP address(es): 192.168.0.104
Setting CPU units: 1000
Configure meminfo: 65536
Set hostname: vzd4.satimis.com
File resolv.conf was modified
VE start in progress...
  
 
 
$ sudo vzlist -a
      VEID      NPROC STATUS  IP_ADDR HOSTNAME                        
       101          3 running 192.168.0.101   vz1.satimis.com                 
       103          3 running 192.168.0.103   vz3.satimis.com                 
       104          6 running 192.168.0.104   vzd4.satimis.com                
       105          6 running -               -  
 
(remark:  I'm going to remove 105) 
 
To my surprise, this time it works.  Referring to the notes taken down previously the only difference made in creating 104 is the hostname; 
 
Old 104 vz.satimis.com 
New 104 vzd4.satimis.com 
 
I can't resolve WHY it would make the difference? 
 
 
Actually I have tried several hours to solve the problem in running "apt-get update/upgrade" and "aptidute update/safe-upgrade" on 102 without result always having mistake.  102 was running Ubuntu 8.04.  Therefore I install debian 5.0 instead

- I don't understand whether you solved the problem? 
- you didn't show VEs configuration file only global vz.conf. 
- please pay attention to OSTEMPLATE variable in VEs configuration file.

Hi maratrus, 
 
 
I have 5 VZs running; 
 
$ sudo vzlist -a
[sudo] password for satimis: 
      VEID      NPROC STATUS  IP_ADDR         HOSTNAME                        
       101          3 running 192.168.0.101   vz1.satimis.com                 
       102          3 running 192.168.0.102   vz2.satimis.com                 
       103          3 running 192.168.0.103   vz3.satimis.com                 
       104          6 running 192.168.0.104   vzd4.satimis.com                
       105         12 running 192.168.0.105   vzd5.satimis.com 
 
 
It seems that they are working w/o problem.  However they are only base OS without further installation. 
 
101 - Ubuntu 8.04 minimal (created on template) 
102 - Ubuntu 8.04 minimal (created on template) 
103 - Ubuntu 8.04 minimal (duplicated on 101) 
104 - Debian 5.0 minimal (created on template) 
105 - Debian 5.0 full version (created on template) 
(all 32bit)
