Multicast not starting

[andreiv]

Re: Multicast not starting (again)

I am creating a new topic since my previous one on this issue is quite old.

I have a new deployment machine, fresh install and yet the problem is still there. The steps are simple:

Capture image (no problem).
Create multicast task (by using group or by creating multicast session, it doesn’t matter). Multicast doesn’t start.

But, if BEFORE creating the multicast task I run:
sudo service FOGMulticastManager restart

All works perfectly. Something happens with the FOGMulticastManager service during boot.

My OS is Ubuntu Desktop 18.04.

What version of fog are you running?

Are you still running 1.5.4? Would you be willing to update to at least 1.5.5 (or even more preferably the dev-branch as it has a bunch of other fixes in queue for what will become 1.5.6?)

Version 1.5.5

@andreiv Have you cleaned the database yet? https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshoot_MySQL#Database_Maintenance_Commands

@Sebastian-Roth

Yes, I stopped all existing tasks. But I’ll check again when I do the next deploy.

@andreiv I don’t mean stopping but also cleaning the database. Please read the wiki link posted.

@Sebastian-Roth
Ok, I will. Thanks.

@lwafflard @Tom-Elliott I just moved your posts to a new topic (https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/13039/multicast-udpcast-options) as I think it’s not related here and we better discuss this in a new thread.
