To find it out, check the output of /sbin/ip route list to see if the route that vzctl is going to add for this VPS already exists.

Such situation may happen if you have stopped VPS from inside it (issuing /sbin/reboot or /sbin/poweroff or smth like this). In this case VPS-related route is deleted within 5 minutes after VPS stop.

Ahh, after running /sbin/route sbin/ip route list I noticed the route for the IP address I was trying to use for the VPS already existed. I simply removed that route, and now the VPS is working great!

Thank you very much!
