Ubuntu is FOG's enemy

[A Former User]

Hello!

First of all, my English is terrible!

I downloaded CentOS 7 and FOG 1.4.4 today, with all updates, i follow exactly all the installation steps contained in FOG Wiki, even so i have the same problem described here.

I was able to resolve the issue with the instructions in that topic, in this case, as follows:

PS: At the time of installation I did NOT leave the mysql password blank, I set a password.

sudo -i
mysql -u root
set password for 'root' @ 'localhost' = password('password entered at the time of installation fog');
set password for 'root'@'127.0.0.1' = password('password entered at the time of installation fog');
update mysql.user set plugin = 'mysql_native_password';

That done, I was able to access the web GUI normally!

@wanderson and @Tom-Elliott, thank you so much!

@haylander Typing in a password during the installer does not set a password for the database, it merely tells the fog installer ‘here, use this password to access the DB’, which won’t work if that password isn’t set prior.

@wayne-workman got it…

so I misunderstood when I thought the database was fully built in the FOG installation…

anyway thank you!

apt-get -y remove unattended-upgrades

This saved my bacon, thank you very much, first command failed but second one worked, i have also run the unattended-upgrades command, once again thank you.
