I guess the developers need to post this a bit stronger.

FOG 1.5.7 and earlier DOES NOT support Centos 8 as of now. FOG 1.5.7 was released before Centos 8 came out, there are changes in Centos 8 that breaks the 1.5.7 installer.

With that said, you may be able to save your install.

1. First log into your mysql database with:
   mysql -u root -p
2. Then delete the fog database.
   drop database fog
3. Exit mysql
   exit
4. Change to the fogproject install directory (understand this only works if you installed from git). The directory will be /root/fogproject or /opt/fogproject depending on the instructions you followed.
5. Key in the following to use the 1.6 beta branch. Understand that this will install a 1.5.7.700 or something version of FOG.
   git checkout dev-branch
6. Now change to the bin directory and install FOG.
