Me again,

I'm having trouble with vzrpm, I'm running centos 4.2 x86_64 and dont know which vzrpm to use, 43 or 44, it might be useful to explain why there are two versions and when we might need them or why we even need both.

Cheers,

Bards.

You would need vzrpm43 for CentOS 4. The problem is we don't yet ship vzrpmXX for x86_64 architecture Sad

There are two possible solutions:
1. Use precreated centos template
2. Hack vzyum so it will use host system rpm (requires slight code modifications, can be done in 5 minutes).

Cool I think I'll use a template.

Thanks for the quick reply.

And if I choose the 2nd one?
How can we hack vzyum?

It requires basic shell programming skills. Also, to make sure it will work you need to have the same RPM major version (4.2, 4.3 or 4.4) on the host system as you use inside your VPSs, otherwise you may run into rpmdb compatibility problems.

To make sure vzpkg works with host rpm not vzrpmXX, you have to do the following:

Step zero: install rpm-python package if it's not installed yet.

First, you change function get_rpm_path to return just a slash (/). This function is in /usr/share/vzpkg/functions file.

Second, you comment out everything concerning PYTHONPATH in /usr/share/vzpkg/cache-os file.

Is it going to be a problem if we just use 32 bit OS template running under x86_64?

Not at all...

The only issue is iptables will not work from inside a VPS - this is known issue that will be fixed soon. Note that iptables will still work fine from within host system.
