RE: [Vserver] I would like to know how to build a FC4 template

I get the same error.  I just touch an empty file by that name and it works.  you get an error at the end indicating a issue with the conf file but seeing as I don't use it I have not been concerned.

 

I was under the impression that the .conf file in question is legacy.  More experienced vserver folks should probably correct/confirm this.

 

sudo vserver vcrux02 build -m skeleton -n vcrux02 --context 200 --hostname vcrux02.corporate.net --interface xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --netdev eth0 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --initstyle plain
sudo touch /etc/vservers/vcrux01.conf
sudo vserver-copy vcrux01 vcrux02

 

later

sig

Subject: [Vserver] I would like to know how to build a FC4 template

Hi, all.  It is a good idea to build a guest server with basic all around apps and then clone this basic server to other guest of the same distribution, in my case FC4. Then for each clone, I would be able to add specific apps to it.

For this matter, I could not find enough information to try.  It seems like for Gentoo distribution http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/vserver-howto.xml shows that you can tar the whole guest server and then reuse this tarball.

I also found vserver-copy and read the man page and tried this on my configured guest server. I got the following error trying to copy my lanweb FC4 guest server to a newtest guest server:

vserver-copy -v lanweb/ newtest
I: vserver-copy: called on abc-25 at Tue Oct 18 12:28:25 PDT 2005
newtest
E: vserver-copy: Vserver file "/etc/vservers/lanweb/.conf" does not exist

Coudl somebody tell me what .conf file and where/how to configure/find it? Is it the same file with /etc/vservers/lanweb/lanweb.conf file.  Currently, I disabled/do not have this lanweb.conf file.
In the man page, it also mention about /etc/vservers/vserver.conf and with my current settings, I don't have this file either.

Could someone give me some information regarding all of these .conf files?

Thank you in advance for all your helps.
Steven.
