Installation guide

Managing EZ Templates

• Add the %appname parameter to the file to specify a name for the application template, for

example:

%appname

php-customized

• Do not include the %package_manager, %upgradable_versions, and %distribution

parameters in the file. These parameters are allowed for OS templates only.

• Make sure that the value of the %osname parameter corresponds to the name of the directory

of the Linux distribution under which the application template is to be run. For example, if you

are creating an application template for CentOS 5 installed in the /vz/template/centos

directory, set this value to centos:

%osname

centos

• Ensure that the value of the %osver parameter corresponds to the version of the respective

Linux distribution. For example, for CentOS 5 installed in the /vz/template/centos/5

directory, set this value to 5:

%osver
