could not mount images folder (/bin/fog.upload)

@Trev-lchs what would be the best way to rerun the installer?

[george1421]

@Trev-lchs There is a fog settings file that the installer references. So all of those questions the installer asks in the beginning it remembers in that file. If you haven’t “tweaked” the install any the installer won’t change any options you selected in the beginning. If you have changed IP addresses or network adapters after the install the fog installer will reset them to what you originally selected.

to rerun the installer (depending on how you installed it [git or tarball]) change to the fogproject/bin directory and key in ./installfog.sh to restart the installer. The installer will fix the directory structure that is missing.

Hi George i have a feeling it was using git

[Trev-lchs]

root@fog-03:~# ls
Desktop Downloads Music Public Videos
Documents jcameron-key.asc Pictures Templates

tried cd downloads but no joy

[Trev-lchs]

@george1421 for give me for being needy but i cant seem to find anywhere that has the install file, i think it was installed using GIT.

root@fog-03:~# cd root/fogproject
bash: cd: root/fogproject: No such file or directory
root@fog-03:~# cd root/fogproject
bash: cd: root/fogproject: No such file or directory
root@fog-03:~# cd fogproject
bash: cd: fogproject: No such file or directory

@Trev-lchs how about find / -name fogproject

Hi Sebastian thanks for the reply i am running 1.5.7.2 j

Makes me think you have that fogproject directory somewhere since this is the development branch of FOG 1.5.7. If you can’t find it then we’ll just run the git clone and get you up to the latest on the dev branch. No worries, but I’m suspicious how the /images/dev directory is missing and the fogproject directory is missing too.

@george1421
root@fog-03:~# find / -name fogproject
/root/fogproject
/home/fogproject
find: ‘/run/user/115/gvfs’: Permission denied

@Trev-lchs said in could not mount images folder (/bin/fog.upload):

/root/fogproject

ok then cd /root/fogproject/bin Then ./installfog.sh

[Trev-lchs]

@george1421 running now

[george1421]

@Trev-lchs Once its done confirm that the missing directory exists ls -la /images/dev

[Trev-lchs]

@george1421 at the end of the install it is asking me to go to 10.10.1.26/fog/management and update the database schema, but this just takes me to the normal fog page, it there anything i need to do?

[george1421]

@Trev-lchs If the schema is up to date, it won’t ask you to update it again. It will just go straight to the login page.

No, then are still in /images I am sure!

[Trev-lchs]

@george1421 Thank you George, it is uploading an image as we speak, my apologies for being a Linux nuget, I rarely need to use it, once again thank you and Sebastian for all your very much needed help. I think Fog is an excellent piece of software, have been using it for years, but rarely need to get into the back of it. Thank you all once again.

[Sebastian Roth]

@Trev-lchs You’re welcome. Good to hear we finally found what was wrong and were able to fix it easily.

Yes this time the least likely problem was the actual problem. Its always the last place you look is where you find the problem. Strange but true…

@george1421 A Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to you guys.
