hello

i have installed a fresh Debian x64 (6.0.4)

and added the repo for proxmox as per documents,

but while installing the packages it gives the following error:

and for some reason i am also failing to the the IP correctly set on this system:
Code: 
pmxcfs 
[main] crit: Unable to get local IP address

but i have my setup as:
/etc/hostname
Code: 
myserver01.local.lan

and, /etc/hosts
Code: 
27.0.0.1        localhost
127.0.1.1      myserver01.local.lan myserver01
192.168.1.22 myserver01.local.lan myserver01
...

with a static IP = 192.168.1.22

any suggestions on how to complete the installation successfully?

thanks,

Try

# rmdir /etc/vz/conf

any try again - does that help?
Click to expand...

tried that and did not help - same error.
uninstalled every thing related to pve.
rebooted
removed any folder related to the failed installation
tried installing again and got same error.

also tried on another box on a fresh install of Debian 6.0.2 (netinstall) x64 - and i got same error.

but reading on the forum i can not find nobody else having this problem.

what can i try now?

thanks,
 
I have had the same prob and installed vzctl manually with dpkg -i vzctl_3.0.30-2pve1_amd64.deb
After that the rest could be installed the normal way ... but in my case the whole setup was messed up due to my testing and a fresh installation was needed.
