upgrade to 1.5 and no network on debian Appliances

[Petrus4]

Ok I feel really dumb!

I read this post by Tom from 2008: (I found it by searching for "has no veth interface configured./usr/sbin/vznetcfg exited with error") with Google

http://www.proxmox.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1718&postcount=5

after trying to add eth0 in the container with the following the command:

vzctl set 107 --netif_add eth0 --save

I got:

Configure veth devices: veth107
According to /etc/vz/conf/107.conf VE107 has no veth interface configured.
/usr/sbin/vznetcfg exited with error
Saved parameters for CT 107

I needed to shut down the guest first and then enable eth0 in the web gui!!

I was not shutting down the guest and therefore the settings for eth0 where to not holding.

Perhaps you guys can add an error message when someone tries to configure bridged networking in a running container.

Would it be possible to add a FAQ in the Wiki? I propose this issue as a FAQ candidate.

Ah, that explains the behaviour.

Well, IMHO I would disable changing configuration when a container runs. But many OpenVZ users are used to change network settings while the container runs.

Yes, please add a FAQ to the Wiki.
