OpenVZ servers don't start 2 Print

If you have followed our first article "OpenVZ servers don't start", please try the following:

Use this command: cat 50 /var/log/vzctl.log

At the bottom of that see the last lines, if they are something like this:

2015-06-25T11:19:50-0400 vzctl : CT 128 : Container config file does not exist
2015-06-25T11:19:50-0400 vzctl : CT 128 : Container config file does not exist

2015-06-25T11:23:28-0400 vzctl : CT 128 : Container is not running

Here's how we fixed it:

cd /etc/vz/conf/
ls -al
chown root:solusvm ./128.conf
cp ./ve-128.conf-sample ./ve-128.conf
chown root:solusvm ./ve-128.conf
cp ./ve-vswap-solus.conf-sample ./ve-vswap-solus.conf
cd /vz/private/
ls -al

There was no 128 folder, so we made it mkdir 128

Please note your container ID will be different.
