Chaning the location of ves templates and so on.

[AmokPaule]

Hello,
i wanted to change the directory where the ves templates and so on are stored. As i only used openvz i did it over the confid in /etc/vz. I did that so that it points to /home/vz but its not shown in the webinterface.

Can someone help me?

Ok i seems it works its just that i can't choose the openvz templates i downloaded myself to create a ve, however the ones i download over the proxmox webadmin will work.

Hi,
there a naming convention.
Search in the forum (i don't know exactly - i'm using only kvm at this time).

Hi,
put them in the right directory with the right name

ls -l /var/lib/vz/template/cache
insgesamt 320012
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 190384822 20. Jan 2009  debian-5.0-mediawiki_1.12-1_i386.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 136971771 20. Jan 2009  debian-5.0-standard_5.0-1_i386.tar.gz

I did that so that it points to /home/vz but its not shown in the webinterface.

Changing the location is not supported (AFAIK this does not work).

Thanks for the info. Are there any other things that might not work then?
