I need to install LAMP stack(except L)on my OpenVZ container.However within the container yum command isn't found.So can I have it installed within the host instead.In that will a website hosted on it be accessible from within the container?

Hi,

If you installed the base template from the hardware node, you would have done something like this:

vzctl create 101 --ostemplate my-template-name --config basic

If in fact you did that with a template from the precreated templates, I believe you would find that yum works as expected.

Running an OpenVZ container within an OpenVZ container doesn't sound like a good idea to me, but I'm no expert.

I hope this helps...

Darin

Hi,

Thanks for the reply .Yes, i did exactly that.But within the container it still says bash:'yum command not found'.Looks like this will prevent me from installing anything within the container.
I don't intend to install a container within a container, but a web server within the container which needs a command like-'yum install httpd -y'.

Post the exact command you used to create a container, so we can see which template you've used...

Please also post the output of the following commands, from within the container:

ls -als /usr/bin/yum
cat /etc/redhat-release

Hello

The command that I used to create the container is -

'vzctl create 101 --ostemplate ubuntu-12.04-x86.tar.gz --config basic'

The output of command 'ls -als /usr/bin/yum
ls:cannot access /usr/bin/yum :No such file or directory found

cat /etc/redhat-release
cat:/etc/redhat/release :No such file or directory found

Thank you

You created a contaner with Ubuntu linux. Ubuntu is based on Debian and uses deb packages, not rpms. Yum doesn't exist on Ubuntu systems, use apt.

I suggest starting with a how-to or a book about basic Ubuntu commands... Or create a CentOS 6 or Scientific Linux 6 container instead, if you're more familliar with yum and Red Hat based OS'es in general. Good luck!
