CentOS 7 Installation Problems
-
After not being able to get the install to complete on Ubuntu 18 or 16 due to inability to download binaries, I decided to give the CentOS install a shot. While it went better in terms of not having to deal with sourcing some of the required packages that are deprecated, the install is still failing at the
* Downloading binaries needed.................................Failed!I’ve included the error log for the attempted CentOS install.
0_1530198049150_fog_error_1.5.4.logIs there a way that I can download the binaries manually?

Does your fog server have direct internet access or is it via a proxy server?
-
@george1421 Thanks for the reply, it has direct access.
-
@wanderbread Can your fog computer ping www.fogproject.org?
I’m also not seeing anything in the log that states it can’t download the binaries either. I know the binary file goes into the root of the installer directory. Let me see if I can find out where they exist in the fogproject world.

@george1421 So this is interesting… I’m able to ping machines on our local network, but I cannot ping www.fogproject.org.
That said, the machine definitely has internet access (as I am currently posting this from said machine). -
@wanderbread What is the default route for the fog server? This may be simply a networking issue .
You also disabled the centos firewall and set setlinux to permissive didn’t you?

@george1421 I’m able to ping google by URL, but not fogproject. However, I am able to ping it by the IP listed.

@george1421 I was following the guide here:
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=CentOS_7 -
@wanderbread well that may not have been a great test. I can’t ping www.fogproject.org either. But the site is up because I can connect via https.
@Developers, do you have any idea why the binaries would not be downloading during install? Its happening on both ubuntu and centos distros?
-
@wanderbread I am not sure what is going on but I was extremely happy with the CentOS 7 install. Make sure to follow the specific install instructions for the flavor. I was able to blow it all away and rebuild the server within a few hours no problems. Good luck.

@mparlette @george1421 Thanks. I’m not sure what the issue was, but I believe it to have been network related. I didn’t realize it initially when I posted but the
pings I was doing, showed dropped packets galore (even while some were successful). I’m working my way through the install guide after creating a new VM, and so far it’s looking alright. No packet loss on an initial testping. We’ll see what happens when I start the FOG installer!EDIT:
SUCCESS!
