Hi there, I've got a strange problem. I have upgraded my root server today and changed all vservers to the legacy method.
All are running fine except two. When I try to start them, I get a "vcontext: chroot(): Permission denied" message (see below). The config directory of these vservers are exactly the same as the other vservers' config directories. I have no idea why exactly these vservers aren't running. Maybe it's something within them? Some information about the system is below (vserver-info). It's Debian Sarge. The working vservers have been installed some years ago. The vservers which are not working are about 5 months old. So they have beend installed with a newer version of vserver-debiantools. Anybody any ideas? Regards Manfred ---snip--- james:/var/lib/vservers/nagios# vserver nagios start vcontext: chroot(): Permission denied An error occured while executing the vserver startup sequence; when there are no other messages, it is very likely that the init-script (/etc/init.d/rc 3) failed. Common causes are: * /etc/rc.d/rc on Fedora Core 1 and RH9 fails always; the 'apt-rpm' build method knows how to deal with this, but on existing installations, appending 'true' to this file will help.
