FOG server crashing on group deployment
-
@quazz It appears max_children was set to 5. I have edited the www.conf file to increase max_children to 100. I will see what changes this makes.
-
@zagaeski There are two changes I would like you to make
- Drop the max children back to a reasonable number between 20 and 30. In reality you should not see more than 7 processes running at any one time. Setting this value to high may starve your system from memory if something really bad goes on. Leave the min and spare children set to 5.
- There is a memory limit commented out. It probably says
;php_admin_value[memory_limit] = 32MChange it to look like this (make sure you uncomment the line)
php_admin_value[memory_limit] = 256Also check to see if this value is set to 2000
pm.max_requests = 2000Finally php-fpm has its own log file so errors will be in both logs.
I helped someone the other day who was having issues with mutlicasting and once we got the extra copies of php-fpm out of his system and used hte above settings he was able to image 24 systems via multicast without issue.
-
@george1421 I made the suggested edits to the www.conf file. Do I need to do anything with php-fpm? I found where the log was located.
-
@zagaeski
Those edits should be done to the php-fpm config file. Then restart php-fpm.Sorry I misread your post, just restart php-fpm and you should be good.
-
@george1421 This seems to have worked. I will try another large group tomorrow and see what happens.
-
@zagaeski Excellent. Next time you run the multicast, run the
topprogram from the fog server console. You should see 5-7 php-fpm worker threads running. I would be interested in seeing if you have different results. -
Hi, I have the same problem, FOG crash when deploying to groups, this is really bad.

@fog_rob You probably should start your own thread here because your circumstances may be different.
But in general if you follow my guidance below: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/12116/fog-server-crashing-on-group-deployment/5
of checking in php-fpm (www.conf file) that these settings are in place. You should have a successful group deployment.
pm.max_children = 50 pm.max_requests = 2000 php_admin_value[memory_limit] = 256 -

pm.max_children = 50 pm.max_requests = 2000 php_admin_value[memory_limit] = 256Thank you Gearge, I’ll try that.
FYI: I tried to fog +>10 computers manually and it is crashing too after 10
-
@george1421 thank you George for the hint but after modifying the file, web stoped working and had to reinstall fog
Probably it is an acces right to modify, but I ain’t a linux expert. so hopefully this will be fix in an update …I’m doing 10 computer at a time and storage set to five to make it work
the display of storage infos goes crazy too, see attachement.

I just had this exact issue this week when doing a clean install of 1.5.4, the install went fantastic, but when I went out to a lab and did a group deployment I came back the next day to find the computers boot looping due to FOG timing out. I traced it down to a PHP issue, but ultimately ended up downgrading to 1.4.4 with no issues anymore.
-
@fog_rob Well that’s disappointing, I know the parameters fix the multicast imaging issues. I can understand that if you had something out of place FOG would appear to stop since the php-fpm is the engine that runs the site, and the www.conf file is the config file for the engine.

I am having the same issues as described above. I did the required changes and am now getting a HTTP 500 Error. Any recommendations on how to diagnose? Do I need to change the permissions on the PHP file? Apperently I am running out of memory? I have plenty…

Got it to run by upping my memory limit to 1280M. Testing now. Currently only getting 200Mb/s transfer speed on eno1.

@reese I am having the same issue. How did you safely downgrade back to 1.4.4. I had no issues there but can’t image an entire lab anymore. Just locks up. Hints on the downgrade process would be appreciated!
