To enable PPP on a Openvz VM
First you need to check for modules in main node
# lsmod | grep ppp
[root@hostonline ~]# lsmod | grep ppp
pppoatm 4677 0
atm 48487 1 pppoatm
zlib_deflate 21629 1 ppp_deflate
ppp_mppe 6182 0
ppp_generic 25763 4 pppoatm,ppp_async,ppp_deflate,ppp_mppe
slhc 5813 1 ppp_generic
We see below modules missing in results so we enable it on main node using
# modprobe ppp_async# modprobe ppp_deflate(In Below example 110 is VM ID / VPS ID )
vzctl stop 110
vzctl set 110 –features ppp:on –save
vzctl start 110
vzctl set 110 –devices c:108:0:rw –save
vzctl exec 110 mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0
vzctl exec 110 chmod 600 /dev/ppp
vzctl enter 110
To check whether PPP is enabled or not:
Vps# /usr/sbin/pppd
You should see gibberish in the standard output like
