Chain loading error
-
Well we need a bit more info than you provided.
- Please provide a clear screen shot of the error taken with mobile phone.
- Is this a fog native menu item or did you create a custom fog menu item and that is causing the chain loading error?
Lets start with a picture of the error so we can see the context of the error message.
-
Neither menu option it is when trying to pxe boot along the way
-
@brendojohnso Now we can start to debug this.
I take that 10.127.1.11 is your fog server?
If so I want you to open the following url on your browser.
http://10.127.1.11/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=00:00:00:00:00:00
This should give you the fog iPXE menu. I’m going to suspect this will also throw a http 4XX error. Which will point to something going wrong with apache.Then we will need to inspect the apache error log to see what it is having an issue with.
-
it says a valid database connection cannot be made
which is where I get confused as the server is receiving all proper connections otherwise -
@brendojohnso So you are able to use the FOG web ui without issue?
-
@george1421 It’s not responding anymore for even to load the login page
-
@brendojohnso well you now know the problem.
can you login into mysql client?
mysql -u root fog? from the fog server linux console screen? -
@brendojohnso Did this ever get resolved? I am having the same problem.

Please open a new thread because your conditions may be different than this OPs.
Please include what version of FOG you are using, what linux distro that powers your FOG server and a clear picture of the error you are seeing.

@george1421 Hi,
I have exactly the same problem
When i try to reach web interface i get “Database connection unavailable” and when i try to reach “http://10.149.20.67/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=00:00:00:00:00:00” i get " "A valid database connection could not be made"Database connection unavailable "Just get back from holidays, i have a snapshot of my FOG 1.5.4 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS took just before holidays and had no problems at this moment. When i go back to the snapshot everything work fine like 10-15 minutes then seems something in the web server is crashing.
If someone have an idea it would be great because i don’t want to install the server again.
Regards.

@Sebastian-Roth Hi, Yep and it was very helpful for me, just execute the last command after coming back to the snapshot and all is good now :-).
Thanks a lot to Tom Elliot for this post.
