@p4cm4n said in install fails - adding repository... failed:

when it gets to adding distro it fails.

I guess you meant “adding repository” here, right?

For Mint and Ubuntu we add ondrej repos (commands add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php and add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/apache2).

Debian is different, here we only add a repo for Debian 7 which shouldn’t be used anymore anyway.

In the same directory where you have the FOG installer script there is a subdirectory called “error_logs”. There you find log files with specific error messages. Please take a look and post here if you can’t figure it out on your own.

The way both iPXE and FOS work is it will stop searching when it finds an ‘up’ interface. So if you want it to pxe boot place the pxe boot network in the first interface position and then use the second or what ever else for the network where you have no control.

When we try send a image stored in node A, the Fog Server search this image in both nodes A and B.

What exactly do you mean by “try send a image”? Send where? Pushing the image to the client? And what do you mean by “Fog Server search this image…”? Can you be more specific on this. Maybe take a picture of what you see on screen and post here.

@fogofwar said in "Operation not supported" tftpboot failing - please help:

Only one problem now that we got past that I am getting this error about “No configuration method succeeded” but only on a VM. I will have to look at that next.

This is only on reboot I am fairly sure! Shut down the VM completely, bring it up again and PXE boot will work nicely. This is a known bug in virtualbox.

@jherron The information is split in two different tables. Host information and MAC information. So you need to commands to clean that host’s information from the database:

mysql> DELETE FROM hostMAC WHERE hmHostID = 1272; ... mysql> DELETE FROM hosts WHERE hostID = 1272; ...

But I still wonder why we only see one entry while FOG seems to find duplicates. Would you be keen enough to add some more error output to the PHP code so we see which MAC it sees as duplicated? If yes, I should be able to help you with the code. Let me know.

@kwilson7392 said in FOG Capture Task keeps rebooting:

This is my first capture task…

So my guess is you might still be thinking in different concepts. Ghost for example did some modification to the boot loader on disk and joined into the task when rebooted from disk. But FOG is different. It’s based on PXE booting the client. If a job is scheduled then the PXE loader will bring up the FOS system to do that task on your machine and if there is no task it will chainload from disk to boot the OS.

Have you setup your machine to PXE boot?

I agree. Fog should tell you “these images won’t really be deleted, I’m just going to pretend… you’ll need to ssh in and clean up”

I revived this thread, because I’m seeing this issue. I see other threads saying it works, but I am on
FOG 1.5.4 kernel 4.18.3 and have to ssh to actually delete the files.

uncaught error: call to a member function lastInsertID()

This is usually due to a database connection issue. Please read through this: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10006/ubuntu-is-fog-s-enemy

problem solved!
In fog settings >> Ad default OR I have filled in the fields in small as an example:
or = xxxx, dc = yyy, dc = zzz
Thank you all

@gabbas said in Snapin not working as a Batch file xcopy:

everyone has read and execute permission to this folder

Is it really everyone as in anonymous without authentication or is it all users/group members of your organization? I ask because the FOG client is running as service and won’t have the same auth tokens as if you run the script as user.

Hi,
I tried the password fix and it didn’t help.
Did you manage to overcome this issue?

The Fog Client and Fog Server are up to date and database is fixed.

Now the Fog Server working properly now.

Thank You for your help.

@Cire3 Hey I’m glad you have it worked out. You found one of the gotchas with naming (No special characters as the first character in the names).

@Wayne-Workman thanks i was able to figure it out, and yes im an old fog user and installer. I had to changed the fogstorage mysqlpassword on my storage node on the .fogsettings (/opt/fog/.fogsettings) Once i changed it to the one provided by the Fog Server everything worked.

@matijn Don’t edit core files for this. (they’ll be overwritten at next update)

Instead update your /opt/fog/.fogsettings file with the credentials and rerun the fog install script.

Ok.
It seems i decided to enter no root password for mysql while running the installation, after I tried to configure a less secure root password.

After setting a very very strong password on mysql root account (phpmyadmin).
You have to manually edit:

sudo nano /var/www/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php

In my case, for Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
sudo nano /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php

private static function _dbSettings()
enter credentials.

@Sebastian-Roth & @george1421
Thank you for your help. Updated the kernel and inits the way you described it. Now the capture works.
Installed 1.5.4 on august 9th, as far as I can see.

@kratkale Read through this topic, possibly you have many client’s talking to the FOG server (and the DB for that reason) which might cap the connections.

About the printers, I might ask you to open new topics so we don’t loose track of different issues in one thread.
