Getting networking going on openvz
Hi,
I hope it's OK to ask this here.
I just got my first VPS, cheap deal from Waveride. I can log into it on the control panel, but there is no internet connectivity. I can't ping anything from the VPS, and I can't SSH into it. I *think* networking is just misconfigured, but it a barebones, no support deal so I can't ask them.
I've installed Ubuntu 12.10 x86-64 (64Bit).
/etc/network/interfaces looks like this (my x's):
Code:# Auto generated lo interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # Auto generated lo interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # Auto generated venet0 interface auto venet0 iface venet0 inet manual up ifconfig venet0 up up ifconfig venet0 127.0.0.2 up route add default dev venet0 down route del default dev venet0 down ifconfig venet0 down iface venet0 inet6 manual up ifconfig venet0 add x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x/128 down ifconfig venet0 del x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x/128 up route -A inet6 add default dev venet0
Code:auto venet0:0 iface venet0:0 inet static address x.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway x.x.x.x
/etc/resolv.conf

Can anyone help me? I'm a bit lost and not experienced enough to know if it's a problem with OpenVZ or something I'm expected to figure out.

It sounds like no IPv4 address has been assigned to the VPS during deployment. Get in touch with your VPS provider support desk and ask them to check the network configuration.
If you can't ping something like www.google.com, then there is an issue which needs to be dealt with by the hosting provider.█ Farbyte Ltd [UK] ♦ Professional UK Cloud Hosting ♦ Tel: +44 (0)843 532 0744

Your host should help you as its being a networking issue. You can try to turn off firewall in the vps if its blocking connection.

I know the problem was fixed, but I did want to add to the discussion. I was running Debian under OpenVZ (and SolusVM) and noted that certain files were overwritten each time the VPS was booted. That included /etc/network/interfaces.
I suspect that a simple VPS reboot from the Control Panel may fix the problem. The IP address(es) are added into /etc/network/interfaces each time the VPS is booted. If not, then the hosting provider did not provision your VPS correctly.
Here is the thread I started regarding files that are edited or overwritten when a VPS is booted in OpenVZ. At the time I thought it was SolusVM, but it is OpenVZ:

If they use SolusVM and you chose a complex password (with characters other than letters and numbers), then you might have run into a bug in SolusVM. The latest "stable" of SolusVM has a bug that busts the networking setup during VPS creation when the VPS is created using the API (such as when a billing system calls the API to create the VPS). The latest "beta" of SolusVM has the bug fixed.
