Is FOG able to fit my needs?

Wayne Workman

@eadhor Be sure to set the database username and password inside of /opt/fog/.fogsettings or you’re bound to break stuff later on when you upgrade (promise).

Change settings for fog inside of the fogsettings file, then re-run the installer for those settings to take effect. Here’s documentation about the file:
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=.fogsettings

The settings you need to change are these:

snmysqluser=''
snmysqlpass=''

Put the correct values into them, save, then re-run the installer.

Hey,
i have changed /opt/fog/.fogsettings

snmysqluser='root'
snmysqlpass=''

and re-run the installer. But i got the error again.

 * Changing permissions on apache log files....................OK
 * Backing up database.........................................Failed!

Server is up and running so far, but i get the problem with the updates Like i have said, there is no database password.

Wayne Workman

@eadhor Check your free space with df -h look for partitions that are 100% or 99% full.

Also, inside of /opt/fog/.fogsettings set snmysqlhost to these two things, one at a time: localhost and 127.0.0.1 Running the installer after each to see if the setting works.

And here ist my next question.

We have an existing DHCP-Server. What informations do i have to provide to the sysadmin? He wants to add a DHCP-Group for the two Clients.

Can i take an image of an existing Virtual Machine? If so. How?

Kind regards
Denny

EDIT:
As far as i know, he needs the following information:
next-serve (FOG-Server IP?)
filename??

Ive tried localhost and 127.0.0.1. Both failed

Wayne Workman

@eadhor Wherever you keep your fogproject directory, go there, then go into bin and do a -ls -laht you should see a new directory in there for errors and such. In there, there will be an output file from the fog installer. We need the last 20 or so lines from that output file, that should tell us what’s going wrong.

@eadhor Looks like proxy issues? I don’t speak whatever that language is, but I do see a 403 Forbidden.

eadhor

@wayne-workman
Yes should be Proxy Issues. It’s german
When “waiting for an answer” i get an 403 error.

eadhor

Okay. Solved the Database Error.

I have added the wgetrc:

no_proxy = localhost, 127.0.0.0/8, IP of the FOG Server

Wayne Workman

@eadhor OK. If you have any more problems, please create a new thread.

Is FOG able to fit my needs?
