Question regarding OStemplate setup. [message #5115]

Hi All,

I am trying to setup OVZ for the first time using Debian 3.1 (sarge) as
the host OS. I've been following the instructions found via this link:

http://howtoforge.com/openvz_debian_vps

All seems to have gone well except for setting up OStemplate Cache to
setup a VPS. After my install of OVZ I had expected to find this path:
/vz/template/cache, however, it did not exist. Note: /vz does exist.

I am trying to create the first VPS using a debian OStemplate.

However, I did find this path that was already created:
/var/lib/vz/template/cache

But the doc does not show/reference anything about the path:
/var/lib/vz/template/cache...

Would appreciate if anyone can clarify what I might be missing or what
might have gone wrong - Any other comments/suggestions appreciated!

-Joe

just create it.

yep, Debian rules forbid to create something in root /
OVZ actually can use templates from any dir, which is specified in
global vz config:

## Template parameters
TEMPLATE=/vz/template

> But the doc does not show/reference anything about the path:

yeah, it is debian specific :/

OpenVZ Debian-packages from debian.systs.org seem to be compiled so that
they use /var/lib/vz as the vz-root instead of /vz -- AFAIK for better
FHS-compliance.

The documentation is quite RH-specific, although the poll at
http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&th=50 shows that Debian-based
distributions are the preferred choice of OpenVZ-users. ;)

You can just do a symlink /vz pointing to /var/lib/vz if you want;
however there is no reason why you should need it, just use /var/lib/vz
whenever the documentation refers to /vz.
