I think what carl is referring to, is the same thing I am having a problem with. I am using the OpenVZ Purple template and after creating a new VM and going to the IP address of the vm, you are presented with the PBXinaFlash menu. If you click the button on the bottom that says admin, it then prompts you for a password and only a password. This password is not set when you use passwd-master and it is not the root password. I am able to get into FreePBX if I go to http://ipaddress/admin. How do I reset the password to use the admin area of PBXinaFlash?

[WM: Don’t forget to run passwd-master.]

I try to log into the pbx interface and the password doesn't work. What should this be? the password setup in the creation of the vm? Should this be the root password? [WM: Run passwd-master from the command prompt. Then log into FreePBX web GUI with username maint and the password you set with passwd-master.]

I was wondering what version of proxmox this tutorial requires to be installed so that the dahdi install script will work?!?

I am trying to get this solution working and am unable to find the OpenVZ image for X86. On the beta download site I only find: centos-5.0-pbxinaflash_1.4.0-3_amd64.tar.gz, the X86 image is not there.
If someone can point me in the right direction I will greatly appreciate.

[WM: Go to http://beta.pbxinaflash.net and choose the 32-bit image.]

I found the solution to my problem two posts up. I described it on the pbxinaflash site.

The simple answer is that the dahdi install fails because proxmox has updated to version 1.4 and the correct dependencies for the install have been moved to the old repository.

Has anyone been able to access the devices for the phone cards directly from the VEs?

The install-dahdi.sh command fails with the following:

./install-dahdi.sh: line 41: make: command not found
./install-dahdi.sh: line 42: make: command not found
./install-dahdi.sh: line 43: make: command not found
./install-dahdi.sh: line 116: /etc/init.d/dahdi: No such file or directory

any thoughts on how to fix it.

Has anyone tried OpenVZ template with the stable Proxmox 1.4 release?

Will this method of implementing DAHDI allow for time conditions to work? I’m hours away from purchasing a server for colocation using Proxmox, but time conditions and conferencing needs to work.

Looks good guys. Testing it now. I suggest you do a "yum clean all" before creating the next template.

This sounds like just what I’ve been looking for to create real multi-tenant systems without using kludges like custom contexts.

Question: If I install Dahdi hardware in to the real server would I create IAX2 trunks to allow access to the virtual machines or is there a different way?

[WM: Still testing whether you can actually use shared hardware.]

Ward;
As usual, GREAT STUFF. And as your title says, it just works. And really works perfectly. Just for the records, I have a X3220 processor with an Intel MB and Areca 1220 raid controller. For my surprise, Proxmox recognized the Areca controller without any need of third party driver.
One thing I couldn’t do and I am guessing it’s because of the 64 bit operating system is to have Hud Lite working properly. Did anybody tried that? Also, any other suggestions for a desktop front end?
Congratulations one more time on all your efforts dedicated to the community.

Oh, no. I just purchased the Dell T105, with Dual Core AMD® Athlon™ 4450B processor. I'm guessing this will NOT support the PIAF 64-bit VM? And the 32-bit VM from last week's article has unfixable wrinkles? [WM: Not sure what the source of your information is. According to AMD, the 4450B supports virtualization. Here's another link that says the same thing. In fact, one of my partners uses this machine and runs 64-bit Windows XP under Proxmox with no problems.]

On some machines (apparently Intel processors), an issue has arisen with regard to access to a missing TUN device. Here is the message thread with the fix. For additional background, see this article on the OpenVZ WIKI. Here's a sample fix for VMID #106:

vzctl set 106 --devices c:10:200:rw --save
vzctl set 106 --capability net_admin:on --save
vzctl exec 106 mkdir -p /dev/net
vzctl exec 106 mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
vzctl exec 106 chmod 600 /dev/net/tun
