I solved the problem by creating missing task* tables using a new instalation db as example, worked like charm. Would be great to have sql code to regenerate tables in case of this.
Thanks for your time and advice!

[FONT=arial][SIZE=13px]Are there any free or paid devices which can repair SSD bad sectors or, some way or another, read the data in these bad sectors during a clone/image/recovery process?[/SIZE][/FONT][/quote]

Try that.

Hi Jimmyboy, regarding the docker container you mentioned: Could you please have a look at [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/create-a-docker-container.12747?[/url]

Hello people!

Recently I had a similar problem. My FOG solution is:

FOG version 1.2.0 revision 3246 Ubuntu Desktop 13.10 i386

Working with Hosts Management section, creating a host, erasing this host and again creating the host with same MAC I had the trouble that FOG said me that this hostname already exists. In the Host Management section did not appear the host.

The solution is like Tom says. Thank you Tom!!

For me, deleting the registers in fog database with the [I]wrong[/I] host ([I]wrong[/I] means the created, then deleted and then tried to create) in [I]host[/I] and [I]hostMAC[/I] table was the solution.

I searched how to manipulate fog database. I used phpMyAdmin (searching directly with Ubuntu Software Center). Then I configure to get access to the fog database (I used blank password in mysql). Edit /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
[INDENT=1]Uncomment this line:[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1][COLOR=#3366ff][SIZE=4]$cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘AllowNoPassword’] = TRUE;[/SIZE][/COLOR][/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]Save file.[/INDENT] Finally, search the tables [I]host[/I] and [I]hostMAC[/I] and delete the [I]wrong[/I] host registers.

I hope it helps. See you,

T. Capablo.

I doubt that OS update is changing file permissions in /tftpboot or /var/www but hey, you never know… 😄

updates use the settings you chose the first time you ran the setup and reuses the same password

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 45274, member: 7271”]OH, and to further answer the post, Having an updated kernel should not hurt any of the other hosts you have either. It’s just a kernel, nothing more.[/quote]

Yes, on My summer list is to move both of my 0.32 servers up to the latest.

Thanks for the help everyone.

Use the installer to delete all partitions, and have the installer auto-create the required ones for you.

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 45230, member: 7271”]FOG uses the command wget to download the kernels and inits.

You may need to tell it how to use your proxy.[/quote]

Ok thanks !!!

I just finished a multicast (3 pc) and everything is ok !!

Yes, when I change this value, all is ok =]

Big thanks for your work and answer!

The best information I can give. Everything worked fine with these Vista/XP Images until the release of 1.2.0. This is because XP and Vista were assumed to be Single Partition images meaning the way the files copied to the FOG Server was specified to be the imagepath name rather than the Windows 7 Style of <windowspathname as directory>/d1p?.img or <windowspathname as directory>/{rec,sys}.img.000

This is a known about issue and has been fixed in SVN Trunk of FOG. I’m sorry I didn’t see this post sooner.

Yes this is known about. If you’re daring, can you try using the SVN Trunk at revision 3225?

[url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_to_trunk[/url]

Or try the new compiled “HostNameChanger.dll” from jbod (Thread: [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/fog-1-2-0-product-key-changer.12510/#post-42958[/url])
Replace the file on the client(s) -> restart Fog Service.

[url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18664328/HostNameChanger.dll[/url]

INSERT INTO snapinAssoc (saHostID,saSnapinID) SELECT hostID,122 FROM hosts WHERE hostOS=‘1’

This will only work on FOG <1.0, but here it is, in case anybody is searching the forum for something similar. In this case, my saSnapinID is 122, and we were looking for all hosts with a hostOS of 1 (which was XP).

Thanks to Tom for all of his help!

Just an observation for anyone scratching their head.

I upgraded from 0.32 to 1.2.0 and noticed that I didn’t require the domain name in front of the Domain Username anymore.

Used the following to diag, FOG_SERVER_ADDRESS/fog/service/hostname.php?mac=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

Noticed that my domain name was in duplicate before my Domain Username.

Logic says remove it and it was golden! Sha-wing!

I created a workaround in 3224

This is expected.

I know you don’t like seeing it, but it should only appear on download tasks. It’s the epoll in the kernel. It tries to notify the system about the new partitions which at that time, does not exist hence it popping the error. It should not impact imaging though.

Not without researching it.

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 45104, member: 7271”]Windows 8.1 was added as it’s own OSID, but the init file you’re using isn’t checking for it which leads me to believe you have a bad init, or somebody customized it in some fashion without knowing where to add the proper checks for the new OSID’s that have been added.[/quote]

[quote=“bjohnson84, post: 45105, member: 1083”]I believe you’re correct about the init file. I do remember overwriting it and other files in the ipxe folder to make some custom settings work again after the upgrade. I’ll switch them back to the newer versions and let you know the results. Thanks![/quote]

That fixed the problem! Thanks for taking the time to help with my stupid mistakes!

The latest svn fixed the issue.
