We are happy to announce that Vesta is back under active development as of 25 February 2024. We are working on v1 candidate and expect to engage more with the community over the coming months. We are committed to open source, and we encourage contributors to help us build the future of Vesta.
VestaCP, OpenVZ & Debian - experience
VestaCP, OpenVZ & Debian - experience
Hi VestaCP,
My experience with VestaCP, OpenVZ and Debian wheezy x64, and what others could run into.
Firstly, to get VestaCP successfully installed I have to add "innodb_use_native_aio=0" to the my.cnf file to be able to start MySQL.
Secondly, I need to chmod the phpmyadmin tmp folder "chmod 777 /var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp" to be able to use phpmyadmin to import databases.
Thirdly, I need to change the exim user in vesta's configuration from MAIL_SYSTEM='exim' to "MAIL_SYSTEM='Debian-exim'", to be able to receive mails.
Fourth, I am not able to get statistics to work, this I've seen others suffer with, more specificly I can't get my bandwidth counters to calculate used traffic per user. Graphs etc are working flawlessly.
That's my small summary with OpenVZ, Debian Wheezy and VestaCP. I tried the same installation on XenServer and here I didn't experience any issues at all nor on a KVM.

Re: VestaCP, OpenVZ & Debian - experience
Very strange. I'm running Vesta in Wheezy / OpenVZ too and don't have any issues with bandwidth graphs not updating. I do have the issue that users can put more in their account then allowed (say quota of 50MB -> user can still upload file of 100MB and it stays in account), but that issue will be resolved with next update in a few days according to imperio :)
I don't recognize all the other issues you are having. MySQL works flawless (I switched to MariaDB now, because this works better on low end VPSes). How much RAM do you have? I have 1GB and 1GB vSwap and don't have any issues. Mail is also working perfectly (receive instantly).

6 GB Mem and 6 GB Swap.
If you noticed, I also posted how to fix it. It might be a configuration question of the host node. I am not able to tell, since I only rent the container.

It was not my intention to imply that you made mistakes. I just found it weird that it didn't work, as it all works on my VPS. Could well be a host config issue. :-)c0urier wrote:6 GB Mem and 6 GB Swap.

No no, l think we reach a language barrier ;).drMacFaulty wrote:It was not my intention to imply that you made mistakes. I just found it weird that it didn't work, as it all works on my VPS. Could well be a host config issue. :-)c0urier wrote:6 GB Mem and 6 GB Swap.

The differences is most likely related to the host node, I just wanted to share my experience if others ran into the same problems, since it took me a few minutes extra to get it installed correctly.
