My VPS does not start. What should I check?

1. VPS starts, but then just shuts down in a few minutes.
You don't have valid Virtuozzo license installed. Please check the output of vzlicview command, the status of the license should be ACTIVE. Check /var/log/messages. More information about Virtuozzo licenses can be found in this article.
2. VPS cannot be started because it is locked.
Please follow the instructions from this article.
3. VPS starts but displays an error "/bin/bash: no such file" or similar.
The owner of the VPS could remove some important package such as bash or glibc. The VPS can also be compromised, see below.
4. The VPS starts but Segmentation fault occures very soon after starting.
The VPS can be compromised, please check the corresponding article.
