does this new location have .mntcheck files:

[code]
sudo touch /images/.mntcheck
sudo touch /images/dev/.mntcheck[/code]

Also check that your ftp information operates as expected as well. The storage username and password should be that of the FOG Servers (or storage nodes) fog user (on the server/node) not the database username and password.

solved! thanks

If you run the system in debug mode. What this means, is setup the task you’re trying to perform as a Download Debug Task (under advanced options) or Upload Debug.

On the client, the file should be under /tmp/status.fog

It’s just a text file, but it’s main purpose is to store the errors thrown from partimage. There are common thrown errors with is what the progress reads/gets its data from.

Hi Tom,

I wanted to give you an update on my issue… I was able to get the server back up and running by re-running the installation, as it may have seemed that I was missing some of the proper software on Ubuntu 12.04 for Fog to run properly. After re-running the installation all I had to do then was edit config.php with the proper mysql password and now get back to imaging all my machines now.

Stay Warm, as where i am located, HELL as frozen over in ND at -26 degrees (without wind chill of course.)

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 21139, member: 7271”]r1059 released to test this new functionality out. Please test and play. You can change the setting under:

FOG Configuration->FOG Settings->FOG PXE Settings->FOG_PIGZ_COMP

Hopefully you’ll enjoy it. The values are between 0 and 9. 0 being the fastest/worst compression rating and 9 being the slowest/best compression rating.[/quote]

damn your quick. Ask you shall receive 🙂 I will have to wait to get home to my Desktop of DOOM… i can’t even get my mac to mount the images folder when i try to use the private internal network in Fusion

That does fix my problems, sorry it took me so long to respond with positive results. I only use fog once a semester, so sorry for the delay.

I’d recommend for multiboot images use raw instead of multipart. Multipart and and others are more designed for one OS. It’ll take longer but its a bit for bit copy rather than a used data only copy.

That’s because of the two methods in use.

Tftp doesn’t use relative paths to locate the files, but the kernel and boot image consider the actual tftpboot directory (on it’s own) as the root of the file system. They’re not relative technically.

hi, also not working, hangs since 20 minutes here:

[ATTACH=full]460[/ATTACH]

crazy is the kernel from verion 0.29 is working???

[url=“/_imported_xf_attachments/0/460_Unbenannt.png?:”]Unbenannt.png[/url]

I’ll build a kernel with raid controllers built in and let you know when its ready for download

I know this thread is slightly older, but my latest of kernels seems to work with VMWare, and many others I’m sure, SCSI natively. No more having to change to Paravirtualized or anything to upload the image, to reset to the one windows needed to operate properly. Hopefully this helps. It should come with FOG 0.33b and if you’re not feeling good about going down the beta road, try downloading the latest one at: [url]https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage[/url]

SITD,

I could tell we had a language barrier.
From what you have stated the apache web server portion of your fog server is working fine.
I am going to share a document with you that I created doing Fog builds.

I am not sure with English not being your primary language if it will help at all.
Keep us posted and we will keep doing our best to help you get this project done.

[quote=“Chris Sodey, post: 20979, member: 1418”]I have tried Toms 3.12.4 kernel with the same hanging problem. I have attached a screen shot.[/quote]
Hi
I get the same with a Lenovo X240…

also tried it with [URL=‘https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage’]https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage [/URL]
[URL=‘https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage’]which gives two lines then hangs[/URL]

Like Tom said, recovery of the computer inventory is not really a FOG issue, but more of a mysql recovery issue. You’ll need to look on the mysql documentation for how to recover a database from the files. The method depends on which storage engine the database was using. You can probably look at your current database and assume the old one was using the same engine (InnoDB, MyISAM, etc).

after you add a root password to mysql, read the wiki article on updating FOG to use the new password when accessing the database, otherwise FOG may quit working until you update the config files.

AWESOME! Glad you got it working 🙂

Well I used gedit to edit the file as root ofcourse, and was in the settings area in gui… somewhere there it decided a couple of times to change the content of the file. Perhaps it would be nice if one could add the files in the gui instead… But what do you recommend should one rather use ftp klient to transfer the files or is it just a matter of know how and being sure what one is doing? 😉
The one page might have come when I changed the masterpassword… the field bellow the timeout for the boot menu.
