      Server
      • FOG Version: Not sure
      • OS: Ubuntu 16.04
      Client
      • Service Version:
      • OS: Win10
      Description

      Sorry for the lack of description info. I believe I am running FOG 1.3.x but forgot how to check what version it is. Spent a good few weeks building an awesome FOG server with the help of the good people of these forums, and used it quite a bit, but then it sat idle for the past month. Just enough time to forget how to traverse and work with Linux/Fog (SHAME!). I tried accessing the web portal and it does not get to the login page, but if I just use the IP without the /fog/management it connects to a FOG page with a couple of links. Also, PXE booting fails with the following error messages (screenshot included):

      • input/output error (http://ipxe.org/1d0c6439)
      • Could not boot:
      • Chainloading failed

      I tried doing a little research and saw maybe a mysql database error, but I could not run some of the terminal statements listed. I also saw to maybe try reinstalling FOG but wanted to checkin before doing so. Not sure if that would remove my previous images and pc objects in FOG. Any help getting me back in and up and running would be greatly appreciated and thank you ahead of time.

        @merilious Since it WAS working and magically, IS NOT working AND you are running ubuntu this thread probably applies: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10006/ubuntu-is-fog-s-enemy

        But before you go and follow this thread blindly lets get some background information.

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

                @merilious I want you to open a linux command prompt and review the settings in /opt/fog/.fogsettings especially the field snmysqlpass what is the value currently?

                  snmysqlpass=‘’

                  Also, the FOG version up top states:
                  Version: 1.4.0-RC-8
                  Install time: Tue 25 Apr 2017 04:50:18 PM CDT

                    @merilious OK I just wanted to make sure that the password was blank. Then the instructions in the thread are spot on. Go ahead and follow the steps. Then you probably should update to current 1.4.0 had several issues with single disk resizable that was fixed in 1.4.1. But for now you need to get control of your fog server.

                      That did it! I ran the remove unattended updates at the bottom as well.
                      So now to update the FOG install. Just to make sure I do this correctly I run the following correct?

                      git clone https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject.git /root/fogproject .
                      
                      cd /root/fogproject/bin
                      
                      ./installfog.sh
                      

                      Or should the install line be:

                      php_ver='7.0' php_verAdds='-7.0' ./installfog.sh -y
                      

                      Just grabbing info from around the Wiki and stuff.

                        @merilious Do you already have a fogproject directory? If you are on an RC release I might say yes.

                        It might be in /root/fogproject or /opt/fogproject depending on who’s instructions you followed. If you can find that fogproject directory, then the update process is simple.

                        cd /root/fogproject
                        git pull
                        git checkout master
                        cd bin
                        ./installfog.sh
                        

                        You will need to do a checkout master because you were on a rc branch.
