is /proc mounted help
Got a Debian vps based on OpenVZ.
Now suddenly I'm getting the following error when running a command like "ps" or "top" as a normal user
"Cannot find /proc/version - is /proc mounted?"
mount shows it is mounted:
"proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)"
The output of "ls -ld /proc"
"dr-xr-xr-x 58 root root 0 Nov 8 15:51 /proc"
As root I don't get the error, but it normally worked as a normal user too,
so I'm curious to find the cause before I reboot the vps.

procps is already the newest version.
And yes, user in chroot.
I'm trying to figure out what exactly happened, because yesterday I could run commands like ps or top without a hitch.
Now only root can run those commands.
Nah, don't think I can do that. I guess I should just reboot the vps and hope the problem will fix itself or I'll have to send a ticket :P
A reboot didn't help.
I've checked the files inside /proc and alot of them had this as their permission:
"--wx--x--x 1 root root 0 Dec 5 15:37 uptime"
I've used chmod 755 to change that and now I can use commands like "ps" and "top" again.
So I'm guessing it's solved.
