No DNS resolution when chroot-ing (VPS installation)

I'm currently trying to install Arch Linux on a prgmr.com VPS. I'm following a guide found on their wiki, but I get stuck at

pacman -S make gcc patch

I get the error "Transient resolver failure." I searched a bit and found that it had something to do with the network. I concluded that DNS resolutions are failing since I can ping 173.194.33.104 but not google.com. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Check your /etc/resolv.conf file inside the chroot.

Hah, wow. You're right. pacman overwrote the file, and I wasn't paying attention. A quick

cp /etc/resolv.conf.pacorig /etc/resolv.conf

fixed it. Thanks!
