	| 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!

 Try this command instead of yours:
 vzctl create 102 --ostemplate ubuntu-10.04-minimal_10.04_amd64 --config basic
 
 You need to specify your precreated template name without the
 extension (.tar.gz).
