Error with fresh install of 1.5.4

[smalltowntech]

Following instructions on https://fogproject.org/download

Steps:

Download https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/archive/1.5.4.tar.gz
Extract, cd to bin
Run foginstall.sh

Error:

Please change installation directory.
Running from here will fail.
You are in /var/www/fog/bin which is a folder that will
be moved during installation.

If I instead do something like run bin/foginstall.sh (from base directory), there are many errors relating to missing files or scripts. So it seems the script requires being run while inside bin.

Note this is an attempted reinstall, more or less, it isn’t completely fresh. Ubuntu 16.04.

Am I missing something?

You are correct, I tried it on fresh Ubuntu 16.04 and it worked.

I didn’t spend the time to pinpoint the exact error, but removing the old config (get rid of /opt/fog/.fogsettings) is letting the installer run, so this particular issue is fixed.

@smalltowntech You’re doing something wrong because Ubuntu 16.04 is currently passing the installation tests (see link in my signature) for the FOG master branch. I recommend you follow these instructions: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Getting_FOG
