[openvps-dev] error creating reference server

[Penelope DEVEREUX]

Hi,

I had an error creating a reference server.  Basically, the openvps
program was trying to copy traceroute from the directory noted by
OH_MISC but traceroute is not there.  Thus the program sadly stops in
its tracks.  I dumped the trace at the end of this post.  Also, I
using a 2.6.10 kernel with VS 1.9.4 on FC3.

I tracked down the problem (I think).  In file:

openvps/host/dft.py (located in the site-packages)

around line 35 you will see the following:

OH_DIR = os.path.join(PREFIX, 'oh')

However, the package I downloaded seems like it should be:

OH_DIR = os.path.join(PREFIX, 'openvps')

Since this is the proper directory that contains the traceroute that
openvps buildref was looking for.

So maybe this is a bug?  I checked the /etc/openvps.conf and this
doesn't seem to be configurable there.  Also, the openvps buildref
does not fail anymore.  So maybe this will help someone out there.

peace!
