FOG installation errors

Sebastian Roth · Nov 12, 2019, 4:53 PM

@TaTa Take a look at fogproject/lib/common/functions.sh line 1261. At the end of the line where it says .../dev/urandom | fold -w12 | head -n1) change the figure 12 to a higher value.

By the way. If you want to install with a proper root password set for the database you will run into an issue with the current version. I hope to get this fixed soon!

@Sebastian-Roth I changed it to 14 and 16 but is getting this error. Looks like password is not complex enough

@TaTa The data being pulled in for the password is out of urandom, so it is not implausible that, as the log indicates, a given line may not include a digit or upper case letter. You may be able to run the installer a few more times and get a random password that conforms to the system’s password requirements. You may also be able to create a partial /opt/fog/.fogsettings with strong passwords compliant with your systems password policies. Format and settings are available in the Wiki. I haven’t tested this, but my understanding is that anything not set in .fogsettings is requested by the installer.

Edit: the setting you are likely interested in is password=.

TaTa · Nov 12, 2019, 9:27 PM

@Daniel-Miller I created the files but it’s still not working. This is a new installation. I don’t think it looks into .fogsettings before creating this new account.

TaTa · Nov 12, 2019, 3:57 PM

I no longer getting password too simple. It looks like it’s not accepting the password. I can set password for fogproject manually but the installation does not like this account created beforehand.

@TaTa hmm … weird. You might try using chpasswd instead of passwd. I think that is available in RHEL … maybe by default. If it is, in functions.sh#L1262, change:

echo -e "$password\n$password" | passwd $username >>$workingdir/error_logs/fog_error_${version}.log 2>&1

to

echo -e "$username:$password" | chpasswd >>$workingdir/error_logs/fog_error_${version}.log 2>&1

Don’t have a RHEL system handy to test it with, however.

Daniel Miller · Nov 13, 2019, 3:23 PM

@TaTa Actually, what is the result of getenforce?

Was searching around a bit and apparently, SELinux can cause some strange behavior…

Instructions for setting SELinux to permissive or disabled can be found at https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=CentOS_7

TaTa · Nov 13, 2019, 9:34 AM

@Daniel-Miller Thank you for your replies. I already set it to permissive. Changing line 1262 toecho -e "$username:$password" | chpasswd >>$workingdir/error_logs/fog_error_${version}.log 2>&1 solved setting up passsword issue for fogproject account.

I went to update database schema but getting Database connection unavailable. It looks like mysqld is not starting. In /etc/my.cnf files (I can’t find /etc/mysql/my.cnf), socket is pointing to /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. I checked mysql.sock and the file exists.

mysql -u root and mysql -u root -p gave me ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)

Trying to restart mysql gave me this error: Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart mysql.service Job for mysqld.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status mysqld.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Daniel Miller · Nov 13, 2019, 3:50 PM

@TaTa I think your server config file should be at /etc/my.cnf.d/server.cnf.
Can you post the output of systemctl status mysqld.service and journalctl -xe?

TaTa · Nov 13, 2019, 4:37 PM

/etc/my.cnf.d/ exists but it contains no files.

@TaTa There should be a log file somewhere in /var/log/mysql/error.log or similar. Please take a look to see why it doesn’t seem to properly start.

TaTa · Nov 14, 2019, 2:43 PM

@Sebastian-Roth Thank you for pointing me to the right direction. It was mysqld.pid file that was missing. I created it and re-ran the installation and reached to the point where it asks to update database schema but getting Schema Update Fail. Unable to update schema. I put in the same password during the installation where it asked “Is the MySQL password blank?”. I’m able to mysql -u root -p and put in that same password.

Sebastian Roth · Nov 14, 2019, 4:16 PM

@TaTa said in FOG installation errors:

Schema Update Fail. Unable to update schema

Any more information you get about why it fails? Error logs?

TaTa · Nov 14, 2019, 8:20 PM

@Sebastian-Roth No error in mysqld log.

Sebastian Roth · Nov 14, 2019, 10:00 PM

@TaTa What about Apache und PHP logs?

Daniel Miller · Nov 14, 2019, 10:09 PM

You may also have a fog_schema_update_error.log someplace. It looks like schemaupdaterpage.page.php drops that if it encounters an error. I’m not entirely sure where it would drop it, however.

TaTa · Nov 14, 2019, 10:12 PM

@Daniel-Miller fog schema update or similar name does not exist in /var/log/fog. Could it be somewhere that I’m not aware of?

Tom Elliott · Nov 15, 2019, 3:38 AM

@TaTa under /var/www/fog

TaTa · Nov 14, 2019, 9:55 PM

@Tom-Elliott Thank you Tom. It looks like password for fogstorage account password does not meet password policy requirement. Where do I go to change it? I searched in the forums and it looks like there is a fix for it by disabling password validation in mysql https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11378/fog-show-me-blank-page-on-fresh-install-ubuntu-16-04/12. It would be more ideal if I can change it to a stronger password to meet password policy.

TaTa · Nov 15, 2019, 3:34 PM

I took are of password policy issue but getting a new error

“HY000”,1396,“Operation CREATE USER failed for ‘fogstorage’@‘%’”]. It doesn’t look like empty hostname as ‘%’.
