Hello,

I've getting this error, if I'm trying to change things for my vps running gentoo based on my own created template.

Warning: configuration file for distribution gentoo_openvz_template-1.0 not found default used

Can anybody tell me, how to get rid of this error?

TIA,
Steffen

Well, I've got it fixed by changing OSTEMPLATE in the configuration file to OSTEMPLATE="gentoo".

But how can I make sure, that a new vps created from my template isn't having the same error?

HAND,
Steffen

While you create VE from OS template cache:

vzctl create 555 --ostemplate haha

in configuration file for this (555) VE the following line appears:

OSTEMPLATE="haha"

vzctl uses this parameter to find out which actions should be taken to perform different configuration (network, etc.) of VE, based on particular template. How does vzctl perform it? It looks in /etc/vz/distr/haha.conf to get required information. If there is no such file, vzctl outputs warning message, you've seen, and uses default file: /etc/vz/distr/default.

So the thing you should do to get rid of this message is just copy file /etc/vz/distr/gentoo.conf to /etc/vz/distr/gentoo_openvz_template-1.0.conf.

HTH,
vass.

You're answer is correct, but not the real solution for my problem.

The right way of getting rid of this error is renaming the ostemplate from gentoo_template_name.tar.gz to gentoo-template_name.tar.gz. If there are only underscores in the name, it's not working, as the whole name is used, but if there is a minus (-) sign, the rest will be getting cut from ostemplate. So instead of searching for gentoo_template_name.conf it's searching for gentoo.conf.

I can confirm this, by trying it. If anyone has a link about naming templates, please let me know.
