I'm running the Ubuntu Hardy standard OpenVZ template that I downloaded from the proxmox web interface. I'm trying to make it into a LAMP server, but when I install mysql, I get the error shown below. I'm using a bridge ethernet and have successfully ssh'd in to work in the terminal. I found a reference about mysql not working properly until one edits the init.d script, however I wasn't able to find what changes need to be made or discover by looking at the script what is going wrong. Is there a good guide on making a LAMP server in OpenVZ? This has to be one of the most common uses for a guest OS.

Thanks.

Thanks. I double the memory, swap and HD space (mem/swap to 1024, HD to 16) and it worked! I was read the link that you mentioned before, but I obviously missed something.

From the status screen I could see that anything was "in the red". How could I have determined which parameter needed to be boosted?

Also, the status still shows the old parameters (mem/swap at 512). Did I really change them?

Thx.
 
If your run out of memory you will see this in the syslog of your container (just see /var/log/syslog inside your ubuntu).

on the host or guest just take a look on the failcounts ('user_beancounters'):

Code: 
 cat /proc/user_beancounters
