I have also tried
--webroot="/fog"Same issue.Contents of /opt/fog-service/settings.json:
chris@UBUSVR1604TPL:/opt/fog-service$ cat settings.json { "HTTPS": "0", "Tray": "0", "Server": "10.10.75.23", "WebRoot": "/fog", "Version": "0.11.12", "Company": "FOG", "RootLog": "0" }Any Advice would be much appreciated

@physk Though I see the issue if you only supply the
--server=...parameter webroot defaults be empty. We shall fix this in the next release!So when you run the installer like this:
mono SmartInstaller.exe --server=x.x.x.x [Pass] Installing files........................................................[Pass] Saving Configuration....................................................[Pass] Applying Configuration..................................................[Pass] Pinning FOG Project.....................................................[Pass] Pinning Server..........................................................[Fail]The installer fails when trying to pin your local FOG server (because webroot is empty). Now when you start the FOGService either by hand or rebooting the client it will keep on failing. Even if you re-run the installer including the
--webroot=parameter because the service is already running with the wrong settings.But if you stop the FOGService (or don’t start it in the first place when you see it fails on pinning) then you can re-run the installer with added webroot parameter and it all comes up nicely. So re-running the installer and rebooting the machine was clearly fixing it for you.

@physk This is interesting. The client defaults to
/fogas webroot and you shouldn’t have to add the parameter when running the smartinstaller - see here.Possibly found a bug here? Which version of the fog-client is this? Should be 0.11.12 as you are on FOG 1.4.4, right?
Please post the full log here in the forums. Possibly there is something else pointing to what is wrong.

@sebastian-roth I’m aware you don’t have to use the
--webroot=but i was having the same issue without, That’s why i tried it to see if it would make a difference.According to my Client page on the WebUI it is 0.11.12. and I downloaded to my client machine directly from there.
After a reboot it seems to be working. No idea why
“If it doesn’t work. Turn it off and on again.”

@Sebastian-Roth I’d like to point out that i was using
sudo mono smartinstaller.exe --uninstallbetween running the next install. (Which should stop the service) I don’t know if that would make a difference?I have also found a little niggle with the deploy system. I will be making a new thread in a couple mins
