Ok so I got my new VPS..
Downloaded and installed the software listed in the email.
what do you do now?

Run it of course..
first thing I noticed was that it took my dual monitors to mean I wanted it spread across both of them so I had to do some major screen shrinkage..
after that I entered the license.
Then selected the create new server VPS connection (don't recall exactly what it said but it was the only thing in the left Window)

Use the default username it tries to use.
Password should have been posted in the email and be the same as your RS-#####
IP should not be the physical Server IP, it should be the next IP up in that block of 8, mine was the next one at least I will say and the email did say also.
Viola, logged in and testing.. Mouse

Well. just adding a few things, when you create the new server VPS connection you need to create ssh keys for that user, remember that if you have more than 1 server admin checking at that server only 1 can login at the same time with the licenses ev1 give to us and he needs the ssh you created.

What happened to making sure you had a firewall and fixing the hostname first?

The server time is off as well.

I'm also not sure yet how to make sure the servers (and virtuozzo software) is up2date either.

Well at first I let it generate keys, but then I went back and redid it with one of my own keys.. but yes I should have mentioned the SSH keys part along with SSH protocol 2 only for security purposes.. Mouse

What do you think Im doing now? lol.. Mouse

already did apf, hosts.deny/allow and hostname

Gateway is IP with last octect as .1 right?

What settings did you use for APF? I can't get the egress to turn on.

which IF are you trying to install on...

Strange..
This is your server's IP: xx.xx.xxx.xxx
This IP is used by the Virtuozzo software: xx.xx.xxx.xxx
If I attempt connection to the Virtuosso IP, it doesn't find the host. If I attempt connection to main server IP, it connects but doesn't upload the keys, gives failed login attempt... I am using the vzagent0 and password supplied in email... any ideas?

I sent you a PM on this. Thanks.

Hal

Suggest a trouble ticket as it should be using the "This IP is used by the Virtuozzo software: xx.xx.xxx.xxx"

Mouse

That's what I'm thinkin'

What am I missing, If I have another guy who is needing to get into the VMC and I have already established my connection as vzagent0 how can they gain access?

if both want to get in with the same user, with the keys ev1 provide aint not posible..

They have to reinstall the license, software, and route the IPs to the box..... it'll be a while before I am up..

It seems like it is possible because I have installed VZMC both at the office and at home and got it to accept the connection using vzagent0 but I think it might be a misconfig on my techs end.

I'm having the same issue, can't even connect with a normal SSH client. Opened a ticket on this a few hours ago and went into the chat, they are supposed to be looking at it, but no info yet...

Guess I gotta wait a few more days before I get to play with this stuff.

I'm up now with vzmc, taking a look around, creating sample configs. However, since it came back up, I can no longer ssh into the box using the main server IP. Shouldn't I be able to? How else would I do the root security installs? Man, I wish I could have heard those SW guys better....or that the PP presentation was available.
Oh well, better do some more reading.
nrsieber, I hope you are up and running soon.

I cant ssh in with the main IP also....

just a tip. dont try to ssh to virtuozzo ip. Got to the main ip.

virtuozzo ip will refuse your ssh connection.

the help file included with vzmc is good. give it try. i got myself some usefull information there. btw, everything that is at the presentation is in that file.

you can disable ssh but is not recomend.. specialy that is usefull for installing templates.......


i cant download and upload a 200 mb+ file,

hmmm, the only issue ive had so far was that when I first closed VMC was that it didnt store my server info, it did the second time, I was also able to SSH to the servers physical IP with no issues at all. Also note you can disable the root login via SSH still with no issues thereby forcing login as another user and su to root.. Mouse

Well maybe I shouldn't have enabled the hardware firewall without setting access rules first. I'm in now. That'll teach me.

I cant ssh into the main ip of the server but I can ssh into the main virtuozzo ip ?

Check to see if your hardware firewall is activated with defaults. I couldn't either until I either turned it off, or set up rules with it enabled.

I had the same issue with the software not storing the information during the first run on 2 different machines. Other than that worked as it should. Both machines were able to connect to the server without having to manually copy any keys but both cannot access the server at the same time due to license restrictions. SSHing no problem on main IP.

I guess someone should report the first run bug to SWSoft.

not that it really matters, but the same thing happened to me

Did you get the issue resolved?

They had to reinstall the license, software, and route the IPs to the box for me...

My ticket has been open for 24 hours, sent an email to customer care and support earlier, Mario is now looking into it for me to see what's up.

Sorry, should have been more specific. I was wondering if Mr. Hiyasaki got his issue resolved.

I ended up having them (EV1) rekey the root password on the new box (it wasn't the password it was supposed to be), I then SSH'd in and used the Virtuozzo tools to reset the vzagent0 password.

Root password isn't the issue for me, but I don't know enough to go in and reset everything for vzagent0.

Assuming you can SSH into your main server IP as root, do the following:

vzctl set 1 --userpasswd vzagent0:yournewpassword

No user vzagent0...

Ugh. Kind of sounds like the Virtuozzo install is messed...

i check the box, vituozzo aint installed

Alrighty, got the plesk template installed, 1 domain setup (I like that plesk will work with a single domain without the liscense, so in theory you could offer every customer plesk on a single domain liscense [for those that don't know linux real well]) The only thing I kicked myself on was setting the web server to port 80 from the VZMC... why it defaults to 1 I have no idea.

Wheee... now, to get APF and all the fun security stuff setup.

hmmm... check the license info in the VE for that account, mine says one day. I assumed that was to get the proper license installed. I could be wrong though.

Ooooh, you might be right. It does say something about Next license key update today

But it also has:

Key number plsk.00000000.0000
Key expiration date -

I guess we'll find out pretty quick

It would be great to offer plesk 1 domain, with the option to upgrade. If anyone can weigh in on this it would be great.

it took only 4 hrs to get my problem resolved. Virtuozzo had to be setup again. I opened the ticket around 6, and it was fixed a little while ago.
