To enable ppp feature for a VPS, first we need to check wether the modules ppp_async and ppp_deflateare loaded in the kernal or not. You can check this by executing the following commands.<\/p>\n

# modprobe ppp_async
\n# modprobe ppp_deflate<\/p>\n

or You can list the active modules using the command lsmod.<\/p>\n

# lsmod | grep ppp
\nppp_deflate 39168 0
\nzlib_deflate 52760 1 ppp_deflate
\nppp_async 45184 0
\ncrc_ccitt 6337 1 ppp_async
\nppp_generic 20165 6 ppp_deflate,ppp_async
\nslhc 30561 1 ppp_generic<\/p>\n

Steps to enable PPP feature.
\n1. # vzctl set VEID –features ppp:on –save
\n2. # vzctl set VEID –devices c:108:0:rw –save
\n3. # vzctl exec VEID mknod \/dev\/ppp c 108 0
\n4. # vzctl exec VEID chmod 600 \/dev\/ppp
\n5. Restart the VPS using the command # vzctl restart VEID<\/p>\n

To check PPP module<\/p>\n

1. Log into the VPS
\n# vzctl enter VEID
\n2. Execute the command
\n# \/usr\/sbin\/pppd
\nIf PPP module is working, then you should receive a message asking for the password or some garbage charecters. If you see something else, then something is wrong.<\/p>\n
