I have made a new install on debian 7.5 and after downloading the openvz templates through the "Content" -> "Template" -> select one and click "Download" I try to create a "CT" I get the following error:

Code: 
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=tahoma]vztmpl-dl ERROR: template /var/lib/vz/template/cache/centos-6-standard_6.3-1_i386.tar.gz not found![/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=tahoma]Cached OS template /var/lib/vz/template/cache//var/lib/vz/template/cache/centos-6-standard_6.3-1_i386.tar.gz.tar[.gz|.bz2|.xz] not found[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=tahoma]Destroying container private area: /var/lib/vz/private/100[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=tahoma]Creation of container private area failed[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=tahoma]TASK ERROR: command 'vzctl --skiplock create 100 --ostemplate /var/lib/vz/template/cache/centos-6-standard_6.3-1_i386.tar.gz --private /var/lib/vz/private/100' failed: exit code 91[/FONT][/COLOR]

This shows to me, that the directory is not correctly resolved.... (it adds the real directory to the standard directory - tried with different custom directories for templates and isos...)

Is this a known bug?

regards

does it work if you store the template in local storage? ( and not in: dir: templates)?
 
hi, thanks for your reply!

The saving is done by the downloader. First I tried with the local storage. And it did work as above (so it did not work...) than I tried the dir: template ...

Best Regards

With "Installer" I mean the "Porxmox on an existing debian" thing.

Doing an apt-get install:
apt-get -f install proxmox-ve-2.6.32 ntp ssh lvm2 postfix ksm-control-daemon vzprocps open-iscsi bootlogd

I do not think this is a vzctl problem:

You can see the "Cached OS template /var/lib/vz/template/cache//var/vz/templates/template/cache/centos-6-standard_6.3-1_i386.tar.gz.tar[.gz|.bz2|.xz] not found" is searching in some strange directory construction. Looks like proxmox is triening toi give the wong dir to the vzctl...

again, you use not the vzctl package from Proxmox VE, therefore its wrong. follow the recommendations.

btw, your sources.list needs some love, compare with:
http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Downloads#Update_a_running_Proxmox_Virtual_Environment_3.x_to_latest_3.2
 
Finally I downloaded the InstallerCD and all worked fine. Just had to install the needed HP driver for my Proliant.
