@Scott-B right but you don’t have anything in the advanced items. There is the login and it is working fine. But the advanced menu is its own configuration setting that you put your needs in.

Ah… okay. I thought that was just called from fog.advancedlogin.

@Hanz inits do not rely on the fog client (hostname changer, printer manager, etc…) for booting the host. While it is possible to load ipxe https it is not enforced nor would I recommend it either.

I don’t know what issues you were having or why but if you rebooted the host after re running the installer the only guess I would have is the inits were not finished downloading when the host was trying to use the files.

For now I’m going to solve this thread as I’m fairly sure it is fixed after running the installer.

@Wayne-Workman no it wouldn’t matter. Beyond that the links go into mobile not the reverse so this would not have any impact unless you were going into mobile.

After capturing images from multiple machines, it looks like this issue is due to an incompatible BIOS in these old Dell machines.
I guess this issue can be marked solved…
Thanks for your help everyone

I found it and increase to 512 and is working fine. Thanks

I bumped my php config up to 2GB for the similar issue with inventory blank screens. Overkill, maybe, but the server has 12GB and is only for FOG.

@Wayne-Workman yes, I have looked at this however I am not experiencing this inits… issue. Yet it is clear some are.

the only issue i experienced was the system failing to gain access to the ftp. but then i realized during the setup after lines (What is the storage location for your images directory? (/images)

Setting password for FOG User…OK New password set for:
username: xxx
password: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx)

i then figured out that it assighned me totally new creditials i needed to input in the storage and tftp settings and wala back at smotth operating.

Found and fixed.

Thanks for reporting.

@Tom-Elliott Hi Tom, I’ve updated my old server during few month, and never seen that option. I’m on a fresh install, and I’ve not checked that 😛

I was not…and that worked like a dream!

Thank you so much!

@Scott-B Just get rid of those…

Backup your DB first. FOG Configuration -> Configuration Save -> Export

For an individual:

update inventory set iOtherTag='' where iID=1972;

For everything:

update inventory set iOtherTag='' where iOtherTag like '%\\\\\\\\\\\\\\%';

Thank you, that cleaned up the list very well.

@Wayne-Workman I get that and I used describe userTracking. There is no utID or utHostID equal to 0 in the table userTracking.

I ran

select * from userTracking where utHostID = 0;

It returns Empty set.

I also checked to see if there was a utID of 29025280 since that is the row its referencing and it returns Empty set too. I realize now that the page number changes since users are logging in constantly on my site.

Just emptied that table. the data in it wasn’t relavent to me and I turned off the usertracking service for the time being too. The error is gone now. However, a machine that has been in FOG for a very long time has changed its ID to zero now. Not sure how or why but it did. It is also no longer listed in the host lists on the website but I know it was this summer when I imaged the thing.

@Hanz Thx I’ll test, I’m on 5360

Hi @Tom-Elliott
Yup all good to close this one as resolved.
Thanks for your awesome work!

@Tom-Elliott Ok so I understand the image replication wierdness…let me ask about the snapin replication. I’m getting

* Found Snapin to transfer to 5 group(s) [11-16-15 3:20:27 pm] | Snapin name: Essentials Install [11-16-15 3:20:27 pm] * Starting Sync Actions mirror: Access failed: 550 Failed to change directory. (/opt/fog/snapins/MSEInstall.exe)

in error log on server, and this one node seems to be copying the actual snapin “MSEInstall.exe” as a directory as shown below.

cd[bcs@ramage ~]$ cd /opt/fog/snapins SVN 5374 [bcs@ramage snapins]$ ls -la total 1324256 drwxrwxrwx 5 root root 4096 Nov 16 15:20 . drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Nov 6 10:30 .. drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Nov 6 10:29 CA drwxr-xr-x 2 fog fog 4096 Nov 16 15:22 MSEInstall.exe -rwxr-xr-x 1 fog fog 677099526 Nov 6 13:05 OfficeUninstall.exe -rwxr-xr-x 1 fog fog 6144 Nov 6 13:05 Repin.exe -rwxr-xr-x 1 fog fog 678899577 Nov 6 13:04 setup_silent.exe drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Nov 6 10:29 ssl

UPDATE: Per SVN 5374 tokens are being created correctly… Thank you @Tom-Elliott !!!

Please update.

I believe this is now resolved.

Sorry it was the way it was trying to store the data.

Ok, I found the reason. My old nodes are all 32-bit (we run fog on recycled hardware basically), my new node is 64-bit. In the freespace.php a recent change (somewhere within the last few months) made calculating $hdtotal and $hdused use intval(). This made them integers which is not a big deal on 64-bit systems in PHP but in 32-bit systems the harddrive space in bits is higher than the maximum size of an integer. If I restore the old freespace.php file it works fine.

I don’t know a lot about coding in PHP but is there a way to cast the result of the calculation to a double or long for 32-bit compatibility?

@george1421 , I already have a firewall configuration that has been tested for awhile now and works (the hardest part was nfs as it was using random ports, but that is easily limited). As for SELinux I already have a policy made, I just need more people to test it and see if I missed anything (after I package it up nicely).

Can you please update and try again?

I found that while I removed the old “cached” code setup stuff, apparently it still likes the nic’s to come down, then up before ipxe dhcp will readily accept data.

yeah, but only with CLI on the server

some roughly written history is in the history table.

mysql
use fog
select * from history;
or
select * from history where longtext like '%some image name here%';

Just simply doing the select * statement, you’ll see the sort of entries being made. You can then format a like search for the field you want and the sort of data you’re looking for.

AND… I can’t be positive on my SQL syntax above… but I think you get the idea…
