Quick Host Registration not working on FOG 1.5.3

[Tom Elliott]

@jdeverse This is before or after removing the installers binaries1.5.3.zip file?

Mod note: I’ve moved to bug reports as this is getting way too many hits to be considered less than such, though I don’t know where the issue is at quite yet.

Hello, I’ve got the main server and some storage nodes. We were working through some other issues so I think we used GIT to install the latest yesterday. After your recommendation today, I grabbed the Fog tar installer directly and re-installed.

Brings up a question, the procedure you outlined, was this for an existing install directory, or was it to be performed as a matter of fact, even on a freshly download file?

Thanks.

@jdeverse If it was a 100% clean install, and you ran the installer AFTER I requested the removal of the binaries1.5.3.zip file, you shouldn’t have anything to worry about.

Hello Tom, In this case it was an attempt to fix our production server, so while the install file was clean, I did reinstall over an existing system. I can create a separate 100% clean install to test with.

@jdeverse No need. Mind seeing the chat bubble? I can chat more realtime with you.

Thanks @jdeverse for the remote session and letting me figure out the issue on your systems.

I can say I’ve corrected the problem and the fix is pretty simple for everybody, due to me making a mistake, originally in pushing up 1.5.3. I forgot to add an argument to my script that makes it look for the binary release files. What’s good about that, is it means all you should have to do to fix the issue, now, is re-run the installer. I was able to find the problem. This was related to the lshw having a bug that is still, to my knowledge, not fixed.

When using lshw -json it creates a non-well formed json string when used with the lshw class statement. (My command is lshw -c network -json).

I was able to fix this by removing all spaces in the output string, and remove the trailing , (hence the , messages seen on screen.) It also fixes the MSDM issue.

1.5.4 will have the proper binaries laid out and should be released pretty soon as it fixes the CentOS 6 php-fpm usage issues.

@tom-elliott Thanks Tom! I couldn’t find the path to the ‘binaries1.5.3.zip’ file, but I renamed the .fogsettings file under /opt/fog and reran the installer and that did the trick!
