Editing VPS Management (section)

=== Cant change file /etc/sysconfig/network ===
if you see this:

<pre>[root@virt8 root]# vzctl stop 160 ; vzctl start 160
VE is not running
Starting VE ...
VE is unmounted
VE is mounted
Adding IP address(es): 69.55.226.83 69.55.226.84
bash ERROR: Can't change file /etc/sysconfig/network
Deleting IP address(es): 69.55.226.83 69.55.226.84
VE is unmounted
[root@virt8 root]#</pre>

it probably means they no longer have /bin/bash - copy one in for them
 
ALSO: another possibility is that they have removed the `ed` RPM from their system - it needs to be reinstalled into their system.  But since their system is down, this is tricky ...

VE startup scripts used by 'vzctl' want package 'ed' to be available inside VE. So if package 'ed' will be enabled in OS template config and OS template itself VE #827 is based on - this error should be fixed.

yes, it is possible to add RPM to VE while it not running.
Try to do following:

<pre># cd /vz/template/<OS_template_with_ed_package>/
# vzctl mount 827
# rpm -Uvh --root /vz/root/827 --veid 827 ed-0.2-25.i386.vz.rpm</pre>

Usually theres an error, but its ok

Note: replace 'ed-0.2-25.i386.vz.rpm' in last command with actual
version of 'ed' package you have.
