Managing EZ Templates

Once you edit the /etc/httpd/conf.d/vzproxy.conf file, you need to tell the vzpkg tool to

use the packages from the local repository on the proxy server while handling EZ templates. To do

this, edit the /etc/vztt/vztt.conf file on the Node and specify the following parameters:

• The URL of the proxy server, the port number where the httpd daemon is listening, and the

path to the directory where the EZ templates local repository is located as the value of the

VZTT_PROXY parameter. For example, if your proxy server has the 127.123.123.127 IP

address assigned, the httpd daemon running on the proxy server is listening on port 8080,

and the local repository is stored in /var/www/html/download, you should set the

VZTT_PROXY parameter to http://127.123.123.127:8080/download.

• The URL of the proxy server and the port number where the httpd daemon is listening as the

value of the HTTP_PROXY parameter. For example, you should set this value for the

aforementioned proxy server to http://127.123.123.127:8080. Keep in mind that you

also need to set the HTTP_PROXY_PASSWORD and HTTP_PROXY_USER parameters in the

/etc/vztt/vztt.conf file if the access to your proxy server is password-protected.

Configuring Proxy Server Parameters

You can configure a number of proxy server parameters to meet your demands:

• Configure the CACHE_DISABLE parameter in the /etc/vzpkgpoxy/vzpkgproxy.conf file

on the proxy server to specify the hosts to be excluded from the caching process. By default,

the proxy server caches the packages from all external hosts that are allowed to connect to the

proxy server.

• Configure the port number on which the httpd daemon running on the proxy server is

listening. To do this, specify the desired port number in the

/etc/httpd/conf.d/vzproxy.conf file on the proxy server. The default port number is

8080.

• Configure the REPO_DIR parameter in the vzpkgproxy.conf file to change the path to the

directory where the local repository created on the basis of the cached packages will be stored.

By default, this directory is /var/www/html/download.
