    Memory not updated

    User beancounters are reset on VM restart I believe.

    Memory not updated

    Probably... though I haven't used lighthttpd, I assume you have an error log like Apache does where you can see the output of big nasty errors like could not fork or could not allocate memory? That'll be your best starting indication of what's going on: The piece of software itself having an...

    Memory not updated

    If I understand user beancounters correctly, you haven't yet run into a system/kernel imposed memory resource allocation limit. When you do, you'll know; That last column which is currently all zeros will increment. That is your "failcnt" column. http://wiki.openvz.org/BC_proc_entries You can...

    Missing directory!

    Here are some possibilities: 1) You have filesystem corruption (restart your server in single-user, do a fsck!) 2) You've somehow accidentally deleted /var/www/pve 3) Somebody else went ahead and deleted /var/www/pve for you (change your root password)

    Memory not updated

    If you login to the proxmox ve host and do "cat /proc/bc/NNN/resources" (where NNN is your vz container ID), do you have any "failcnt" counters that are greater than 0 indicating resource limits have been imposed?

    How to set up supplemental IP subnet

    x.x.x.255 would be a broadcast IP unless your subnet mask is 255.255.254.0 or larger... This is a tough question, basically you're asking your Proxmox VE box to also be a gateway router for this /29 you've been assigned. Hopefully tom or dietmar have a bright idea about how you might deal with...

    How did you install Proxmox VE?

    Hardware compatibility

    I am actually already using this combination of hardware for Proxmox VE. I have two Xeon L5410s plugged in and 8GB of RAM. It's very nice.

    e1000e driver update - query on recommended route ?

    I used this: http://download.proxmox.com/debian/dists/etch/pve/binary-amd64/pve-headers-2.6.24-1-pve_2.6.24-4_amd64.deb To compile and install the Asterisk DAHDI stuff from source successfully. I then used DAHDI's dummy driver for timing with Asterisk inside an OpenVZ container. So that (as...

    Some feedback on PROXMOX VE

    OpenVZ VE memory consumption (in Proxmox VE v1.0)

    Or, if your database needs are very low-end you can tweak mysql's configuration to use very little RAM. On a Debian system with mysql installed, check out /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-5.0/examples/my-small.cnf Another way to conserve RAM is to use the Apache hybrid MPM and let it do some threads...

    Installing from packages on a live Etch system

    I doubt the guys would really support that method, but you could play around and try it yourself, don't see why not. http://download.proxmox.com/debian/dists/etch/pve/binary-amd64/ Add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list # PVE packages provided by proxmox.com deb...

    Installation problem with DSR2020 IP KVM switch

    Only the installer is a GUI, the server will become a text-based Debian Linux console after the installation is complete. Administration of your VMs is via a web-based interface provided through apache and mod_perl using https. Unless something goes terribly wrong, you shouldn't even need the...

    Installation from LiveCD

    If the place where this server is hosted has such limited and inflexible policies and people and you can't physically go there yourself and do it, you should just take your business elsewhere. If the only option is to have them stick in some ubuntu rescue CD for you, that's so limiting that it's...

    Installation from LiveCD

    Just one ISP and host's opinion, but it really shouldn't be that big a deal or real out of the ordinary for someone providing a server in a datacenter to physically stand there and install your OS of choice for 20 mins. Or you should at least be able to pay them to do it... When someone has a...

    Backup errors

    This is my Plesk openvz container: # cat /backup/vzdump-102.log Dec 18 01:02:46 INFO: Starting Backup of VM 102 (openvz) Dec 18 01:02:46 INFO: status = CTID 102 exist mounted running Dec 18 01:02:47 INFO: creating lvm snapshot of /dev/mapper/pve-data ('/dev/pve/vzsnap') Dec 18 01:02:47 INFO...

    Altering The Host OS?

    Proxmox VE has a fancy dummy-proof installer which sets up LVM for you and installs Debian. It installs some of their own Debian packages (including their kernel, an important component) which you can list by doing a "pveversion -v". That's about it, you can treat it like a normal Debian box...

    vzdump feature request

    It's a good word of caution. If the server itself were compromised and then the rsync password was used to delete the vzdump backups from the first backup server I still have daily, weekly and bi-monthly ZFS snapshots on the local and the offsite backup servers to pull vzdump*.tgz out of. Both...

    Backup errors

    Perhaps your write speeds are really really terrible even though basic tests like pveperf are showing good read speeds. You definitely need to look into that. I can't tell you what performance is going to be like with a fancy controller like the areca coupled with disabled write caching on the...

    Backup errors

    My only guess at this point about why your backups are slow is that you have a heavy I/O workload during the backup process. An 8-disk RAID-10 shouldn't be that slow to do backups. Maybe you don't have write caching on and your writes are really slow even though your reads are fast? If you...
