      I installed a fresh Debian installation yesterday and followed the instructions for FOG found here today.

      I get to the point where the installation script informs me that I need to install/update the database schema, but I am met with the “Database connection unavailable” message on my web browser when I navigate to the link provided.

      The mysql troubleshooting page leads me to believe the fog database does not exist, but does not appear to mention what my next step should be…

      #uname -a
      Linux fogtest 4.9.0-7-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.110-3+deb9u2 (2018-08-13) x86_64 GNU/Linux

        @coryjfowler Well lets start with:

        1. Is mysql running?
          ps aux|grep mysql
        2. can you log into the mysql client using
          mysql -u root -p and then press enter at the password prompt?

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

          You have to set a (very strong) mysql password first, topic:
