We currently migrate to MediaWiki from our old installation, but not all content has been migrated yet. Take a look at the Wiki Team page for instructions how to help or browse through our new wiki at wiki.linux-vserver.org to find the information already migrated.
Below is the result of half an hour of shell-scripting and modifications by Dirk Ruediger. The code was written for my specific environment, but was found usefull by at least two other vserver users.
The resulting code is supposed to convert the legacy configuration files (.conf and .sh files in /etc/vservers) to the new directory layout as described in detail on [The Great Flower Page].
The changes by Dirk consist of being able to handle multiple network devices and setting the flag /apps/init/mark to "default" so that the vserver is started via /etc/init.d/vserver-default (under debain at least ;-))
The full script:

Remark from Adrian Wallaschek (to be removed once the script is fixed or checked!): for me the resulting config needed to be fixed (sorry have no time to check the script now): in /etc/vservers/<server>/interface/0/dev I found the IP address making the vserver script believe it was a VLAN config. Putting "eth0" there did the job! Enjoy!
WARNING: The above script does not observe the ONBOOT settings. If you have ONBOOT=no set in your old .conf files then you will need to modify /etc/vservers/<vs>/apps/init/mark (see [here]) so that it reads something other than 'default'.
