Aha, the root of all evil.
Whats happening here is that vsd-install.pl uses the `hostname` command
to set up the self-hosting configuration, which calls the interface
'chiefwigham', which it is quite right, however, the C call
gethostbyname returns chiefwigham.office.fubra which is also correct.
Now, when you call vsdadm with chiefwigham specified as the hosting
server, vsd recognises that it has a server call chiefwigham registered,
but when it compares the name supplied with the name of the machine it
is running on, it notices that they are different, and therefore doesn't
allow the vs_create command to be executed, returning the 'No such
command' error. Whne you supply chiefwigham.office.fubra as the hosting
server, it then knows that it is running on itself, but can't find a
configuration section for chiefwigham.office.fubra, and therefore
returns the 'virtual server doesnt exist'. (Sorry if that doesn't make
sense, I though I'd try and give a bit of background to help understand
the problem.)
Anyway, in you're case, changing /etc/hosts to:
192.168.0.4 chiefwigham chiefwigham.office.fubra localhost
127.0.0.l chiefwigham
should then make it all work, and call vsdadm with chiefwigham as the
hosting server (C returns the first name defined, hostname returns the
shortest name, make the two the same and all will work (either FQDN the
first and shortest, or the shortest the first)). The best way to check
for all cases is to look in etc/vsd/vsd.conf, and rearrange /etc/hosts
so that the name given to the first VirtualServer definition is the
first name specified in /etc/hosts (I think.).
I hope that some of this makes sense, I think I've confused myself now.
