@Tom-Elliott ok here we go again
git pull
sudo ./installfog.sh -y
I read somewhere in another post that having a simple password on my account can cause DB problems, should we look into that? My password on this system is very simple, it’s never needed to be complex.
@Tom-Elliott Fog server has not been working since this entire thread was created… it’s not working.
So far the database has refused to update and the web management console is 100% unavailable since the only thing it does is prompt me to update the database.
Tried the manual update with
sudo curl -X POST -H “X-Fog-Install-Token: 14dbb4a059bc201b2bf585b625087f92f4b5f8fd6dc70de8a0bef17845f00321” -d “schemaupdate=1” “http://10.46.10.40/fog/management/index.php?node=schema”
but it responded with
{“error”:“Unable to update schema”,“title”,“Schema Update Fail”}
Here’s some data you requested earlier
@Tom-Elliott No, can’t get that command to work. I tried removing the \ or removing the quotes, no joy.
@Tom-Elliott ok here’s the latest results:
When I visit http://10.46.10.40/fog/management it immediately jumps to http://10.46.10.40/fog/management/index.php?node=schema instead and displays the following:
Clicking update reveals (if I click “here to login” again it sends me to the previous update page, making an endless loop):
Typing
sudo grep -A5 -i “schema|Updating Database” /root/fogproject/bin/error_logs/fog_error_1.6.0-beta.3050.log | tail -60
Delivers no output at all. If you are looking for the term “Updating Database” I manually opened the log with a text editor and found no reference to “Updating” anywhere in there.
I tried updating the token but it threw an error - please check my syntax
@Tom-Elliott I did this as per your post, did not work, same DB update error as before
cd /root/fogproject
git checkout working-1.6
git pull
cd bin
sudo ./installfog.sh -y
@Tom-Elliott ok heres the logs you requested
(FYI 10.46.101.20 is my PC’s ip address. The fog server is a VM. It is 10.46.10.40)
ok cancel that last post I think our internet filter was getting in the way or somethine weird and i’m past that now.
@Tom-Elliott The FOG kernal was failing to load on our newest computers so I figured I needed to update since our fog server is at least 5 or more years old now. I just wanted to update to the latest working release, but when it failed I came here for support.
According to your post “Dev-branch appears to have this fixed best I can tell, but also fixed it in working-1.6 (if you want to test this version I think you’ll like it a bit more - but I’ll admit I’m biased lol)”
Ok so I tried to install the working-1.6 but it failed too.
You next posted “Please pull dev-branch/working-1.6 again and try again. I think it should work.”
Ok so now I’m on the dev-branch I think? At this point I just don’t care what version I’m running, I just need things to work. If you’re in the mood to remote in and poke around, I’m 100% fine with that. If it’s just a database problem of some sort, I don’t even care if I lose all my registered clients, but I would like to keep my images and pxe boot files. The last thing I wanted to do was blow everything out and reinstall the os+fog from scratch but it keeps looking like that. Thanks for looking into this.
@Tom-Elliott ok I did my best to install again. Different error this time
sudo -i
cd /root
cd fogproject
git fetch --all
(“git pull dev-branch/working1.6” is not a valid comand and I’m not very familiar with this os)
git checkout dev-branch
git pull (“already up to date”)
