you have to edit the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and, at the end of the file, add:

# added servername to avoid the could not determine fqdn error
servername myserver

place your server name in place of myserver.

it worked for me.

Following text is on this link
http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2010-April/041936.html
How do I test whether network-script is running or not in Xen Dom0.
I have a Debian Lenny Dom0.Running Xen on it and 4 virtual hosts on it.
I am currently setting up a proxy server in Dom0 which DomU's will be
able to use.The problem is before I go on to set NAT I wanted to test
bridges.

So I renamed the bridge in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp
Code:

(network-script 'network-bridge bridge=ABCD')


but when I do a reboot or xend restart and do following

Code:

openworld:/etc/xen# brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
eth2 8000.0026b9824238 no peth2
vif1.0
vif2.0
vif3.0
vif4.0
openworld:/etc/xen#

the bridge is not renamed to ABCD above output is showing eth2 which
is not even default.
So I doubt that the script network-bridge has not been called so that
it renames the bridge or there is some thing else I should look for.


I had set up a dummy network interface on Dom0

dummy0
modprobe dummy0
then in Dom0 /etc/network/interfaces
added the ip to dummy interface.

in network-bridge netdev=dummy0') was set so that it was used.
brctl was showing this dummy and then a simple POSTROUTING configuration.

Sol
My general technique for seeing what's up with the script in a case like
this is to insert at the top:
set -x
exec &>/tmp/network-script$$

Then you'll get a file with the pid on the end every time it's executed,
with an exec trace. Don't forget to clean up the /tmp files and the
script when done.


Some one is talking here not read myself completely how helpful is it.

Following error messages were encountered while installing vim

Since release 150, udev requires that support for the CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED
feature is disabled in the running kernel.

Please upgrade your kernel before or while upgrading udev.

AT YOUR OWN RISK, you can force the installation of this version of udev
WHICH DOES NOT WORK WITH YOUR RUNNING KERNEL AND WILL BREAK YOUR SYSTEM
AT THE NEXT REBOOT by creating the /etc/udev/kernel-upgrade file.
There is always a safer way to upgrade, do not try this unless you
understand what you are doing!

So a clean sources.list file is needed.

Compiling Xen from sources on Debian

Some one explained me in detail on community so I am forwarding same here
This guide will explicate in detail about the procedure for compiling
vanilla kernel from source and customize it according to your hardware
specifications and then compiling latest XEN from source and patching
it with Linux.
First install these packages:

sudo apt-get install iproute bridge-utils gcc make gettext
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev è openssl
sudo apt-get install python-dev zlib1g-dev bcc libsdl-dev pciutils-dev
è zlib

First we will compile latest XEN Hypervisor from source.

Go to http://www.xen.org/products/xen_source.html and download the
latest XEN hypervisor from there. [Version 3.4.1 at the time of
writing the guide]
Xen 3.4.1 is available WITH and WITHOUT 2.6.18 dom0 kernel. We need
the version without dom0 linux because we will compile our own vanilla
kernel.
I am seting up XEN 3.4.1 on amd64 hardware and running debian
distribution on it with upgraded kernel.
My hardware specifications:
unme -a
Linux -04 2.6.31.4-user-kvm-vanilla #1 SMP Wed Oct 21 16:35:11 BST
2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Build / Install Xen

1. mkdir /home/tapas/xen
2. cd /home/tapas/xen
3. tar -xzf xen-3.4.1
4. cd xen-3.4.1
5. make xen
6. make install-xen
7. make tools
8. make install-tools

Build Vanilla kernel
Now we will build th PV_Ops Kernel. The Vanilla kernel source will be
downloaded from Jeremy's tree. Jeremy's git tree on kernel.org
contains the pv_ops dom0 patches. If we use Jeremy's tree then we do
not any extra patches to bind XEN with kernel source.

1. mkdir /home/tapas/linux
2. cd /home/tapas/linux
3. git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git
4. linux-2.6-xen
5. cd linux-2.6-xen
6. git checkout origin/xen/master -b xen/master
7. make menuconfig [see Note below]
8. make-kpkg clean
9. CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=N fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd
--append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers
10. This will make the debian packages in the parent directory which
you can install

Note: Please choose the following xen specific optiions in kernel configuration.

and later) --->

After xen confiuration, please make sure that .config has the
following parameter configuration:

* CONFIG_XEN=y
* CONFIG_XEN_MAX_DOMAIN_MEMORY=32
* CONFIG_XEN_SAVE_RESTORE=y
* CONFIG_XEN_DOM0=y
* CONFIG_XEN_PRIVILEGED_GUEST=y
* CONFIG_XEN_PCI=y
* CONFIG_PCI_XEN=y
* CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_FRONTEND=m
* CONFIG_NETXEN_NIC=m
* CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND=m
* CONFIG_XEN_KBDDEV_FRONTEND=m
* CONFIG_HVC_XEN=y
* CONFIG_XEN_FBDEV_FRONTEND=m
* CONFIG_XEN_BALLOON=y
* CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES=y
* CONFIG_XEN_DEV_EVTCHN=y
* CONFIG_XEN_BACKEND=y
* CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_BACKEND=y
* CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_BACKEND=y
* CONFIG_XENFS=y

* CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_BACKEND=y
* CONFIG_XENFS=y
* CONFIG_XEN_COMPAT_XENFS=y
* CONFIG_XEN_XENBUS_FRONTEND=m

Install these debian packages using
sudo dpkg -i
Add the following line to /etc/fstab

none /proc/xen xenfs defaults 0 0

and reboot the machine.

After installing the debian packages, the Grub Entry will look like
the following:
title Xen 3.4.1 / Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.31.4-tapas-xen-4
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/xen-3.4.1.gz
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31.4-tapas-xen-4 root=/dev/sda1 ro
console=tty0
module /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31.4-tapas-xen-4

Hope that will help.

Note that file-backed VBDs may not be appropriate for backing I/O-intensive domains. File-backed VBDs are known to experience substantial slowdowns under heavy I/O workloads, due to the I/O handling by the loopback block device used to support file-backed VBDs in dom0. Better I/O performance can be achieved by using either LVM-backed VBDs (Section 6.3) or physical devices as VBDs (Section 6.1).

LVMs on Debian and LAN Issue Got Xen up and running

updated the firm ware on R710 it is on Debian site here is a link
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/all/firmware-bnx2/download
after that it showed the lan card detected



Here is a link in case you want to know some one else had faced
similar problem and they have claimed it worked for them on R710 for
Debian
http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2009-April/039119.html
I have also manually added the firmware as he mentioned on the above link.
