RE: VS creation problems.

Your skel entries in vsd.conf are probably incorrect and referring to a directory which does not exist. It is simplest to run vsd-genskel.pl or put a pre-built skel in place prior to running vsd-install.pl as this will ensure everything is correctly set up. I suggest you run vsd-uninstall.pl and remove your current configuration (no need to remove your existing skel) and then run vsd-install.pl again.   Tim -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Guilherme Sent: 24 June 2001 19:31 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: VS creation problems. Mr. Tim, Sorry for write again to you, but when I tried to run vsd-vsbatch.pl ; I received this error message: Couldn't process : mount point `' does not exist    --*--     Please, help me.     Thank you very much.         Guilherme ----- Original Message ----- From: Tim Sellar To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 24, 2001 3:06 PM Subject: RE: VS creation problems. After you have added your virtual server using 'vsdadm vs_create...' you must run vsd-vsbatch.pl (takes about 2 minutes and should not produce any errors). Only then will your virtual server's file system have been created and will you be able to correctly boot it.   Tim -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Guilherme Sent: 24 June 2001 18:33 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: VS creation problems. Hello again, thank you mr. Zen Woo and mr. Tim Sellar for the answers for my problem.     But unfortunately I got some doubts...I did that: - created a skel - registered it (part_skeladd command) - created a virtual server -> When I created the VS everything seemed to be working fine, but when I visited the directory /home/vs ; the directory with the files of the new VS hadn't been created, so, when I tried to start this new VS, I couldn't (received this error messages: start VS oponto-inglaterra: stage [1] couldn't access /home/vsd/vs/oponto-inglaterra: No such file or directory start VS oponto-inglaterra: stage [2] couldn't access /home/vsd/vs/oponto-inglaterra: No such file or directory   ). So, should this directory be created automatically using the skel as a base or should I copy the skel directories to this new one?     Thank you very much for your attention and support.     I hope that we have this running until today's night. =)     Bye, and I am waiting your answers.     ----- Original Message ----- From: Zen Woo To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, June 23, 2001 10:31 PM Subject: Re: VS creation problems. Hi,   Basically, you are getting this error message because the skel is not registered. vsd-genskel.pl does not register the skel it creates. You will need to use vsdadm to do that. When doing a fresh install, it is recommended that you generate the skel first (using vsd-genskel.pl) before running vsd-install.pl which ask you whether to register the skel or not.   Thanks,   Zen ----- Original Message ----- From: Guilherme To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 24, 2001 7:33 AM Subject: VS creation problems. Hello, this is my first message to this mail list.     I just installed freeVSD in one of the servers that the webhosting company that I work has, and we are VERY interested in start providing this service in Brazil (where we are).     But when I tried to create a virtual server I got some problems, and all the times the message said that the skel that I tried to use doesn't exist, but I created it correctly and seems to br working perfectly....what should I do?     I am waiting your answer.     Thank you very much.       Guilherme
