lxadmin Error: sh: vgdisplay: command not found

Lxadmin Error:

sh: vgdisplay: command not found

If you are receiving this, its probably due to the hostname being set to something which is causing a problem, so do the following to fix:

hostname temp.domain.com
cd /usr/local/lxlabs/lxadmin/httpdocs/
lphp.exe ../bin/update.php

Lxadmin Documentation and Useful Info

Having recently starting offering Virtual Dedicated Servers, and offering Lxadmin for free on all our Virtual Dedicated Server plans – the following details may be useful:

What is Lxadmin?

“LxAdmin is the world’s lightest control panel, using lighttpd and djbdns and only consumes 9MB RSS and 15MB memory usage on bootup on the OpenVZ (or Xen) platform. Lxadmin allows you to run either lighttpd/apache or djbdns/bind and also provides graphical interface to switch between these programs on a live server, without losing any data. Lxadmin Enterprise can transparently move web/mail/dns from one server running apache to another running lighttpd, again transparently and without causing any downtime.”

Useful Links:

1. Login Url: http://demo.lxadmin.com:7778/

2. Default Login Details:
Username: admin
Password: admin

3. Lxadmin Documentation: http://doc.lxlabs.com/lxadmin/admin/

Lxadmin integrates with our VDS control panel, and you can easily access and manage your VDS along with Lxadmin.
