I've been following the howto explained in "Re: Patch to turn a centos-4 metadata into a centos-5 version", i.e. essentially just downloaded and installed vztmpl-centos-5-2.0-3.i386.rpm, then ran vzpkgcache. This ran ok for a while, downloading a pile of rpms all without errors until in the end I get this error:

Complete!
sed: can't read /etc/init.d/syslog: No such file or directory
ERROR: Script install-post failed

What's going wrong, what am I missing?

Kernel 2.6.18-53.1.19.el5.028stab053.14

Hi,

where have you downloaded vztmpl-centos-5-2.0-3.i386.rpm?

I'm actually having the same problem occurring. This comes up after running the setx86_64 script found on the wiki for installing on x86_64 systems.

I think vzyum and vzpkgcache are flat broken in CentOS 5/x86_64 systems. I've been able to build a CentOS 5 OS Template with vzpkgcache on CentOS 4 i386 hosts.

I'd recommend you just use a pre-created CentOS 5 OS template (I uploaded fairly recent ones based on CentOS 5.2 that include yum installed to the contrib area) or build them (with the tmpl package you found in the forum) on CentoS 4 i386 host nodes.

Once you have an OS Template you are happy with, you can easily create newer, fresher OS Templates out of it. Just make a container, upgrade the container, stop the container, clean up container specific files (/etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts, ssh keys, temp files, logs, etc), and then tar -cvzf the private dir up to make a new OS Template.

I got it to work editing "/vz/template/centos/5/x86_64/config/install-post" and set syslog and syslog.conf sed replacements with exit status of "0":

madsere-

Following Fedora's lead (F8) with CentOS 5.2 rsyslogd has become the default replacing sysklogd. As such you can comment out/change the following sections from /vz/template/centos/5/i386/config/install.post:


The following is no longer required as there is no separate klogd daemon in rsyslog:
# Disable klogd
#$VZCTL exec2 $VEID \
#       "sed -i -e 's/daemon\\ klogd/passed\\ klogd\\ skipped/' \
#               -e 's/killproc\\ klogd/passed\\ klogd\\ skipped/' \
#                       /etc/init.d/syslog"
# FIXME: fix '/etc/init.d/syslog status' to return 0
# even if klogd is not running

Change the /etc/syslog.conf to /etc/rsyslog.conf in the following area of the file:
# Disable fsync() in syslog
$VZCTL exec2 $VEID \
       'sed -i -e s@\\\([[:space:]]\\\)\\\(/var/log/\\\)@\\\1-\\\2@' \
               /etc/rsyslog.conf

Now your templates should build perfectly.
