Ubuntu Server 19.10, Failed to stop web service

[Skeer]

Well this is disappointing. So due to an unrelated issue I decided to flatten this guest and build anew. I figured it’d be good since now I know the right version to use.
So flattened, new 19.10 install and the Apache service is still an issue. Even with installing the dev branch.
Manually installed php7.3, apache2, libmodule-apache, etc… not a thing I do now alleviates the failed to restart web services error.

There shouldn’t be a need to manually install any packages. The installer should handle all that. We need more information on what exactly you’ve done and the error message you got to be able to help.

@Sebastian-Roth Oh it’s exactly as described and exactly what happened the first go-round.
Since it’s in a failed state… let me do this. I’ll re-re-flatten the guest and start over. Fresh 19.10 install, ‘apt update/upgrade’ then I’ll run the fog installer from the dev-branch and see what happens.

Please use snapshots which are a perfect tool for those kind of tests. No need to reinstall from scratch all the time.

@Skeer I just did a clean install on Ubuntu 19.10 using dev-branch and it worked perfectly fine. Haven’t done extensive testing beyond that but I would imagine it to capture and deploy images fine too.

[Skeer]

@Sebastian-Roth Keep forgetting about Snapshots… thats what I get for being in a hurry.

Ok so I’ve got an updated OS and following the steps here: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Getting_FOG I’ve pulled the dev-branch. So I should be good for the install script yes? (I’m not super experienced with git so I’m not feeling positive I actually have the full dev-branch source)

[Sebastian Roth]

@Skeer On the right track with the stuff you find in the wiki. The important command after cloning (downloading) the FOG repo is to switch to the dev-branch: git checkout dev-branch

By the way. If you want to wait a few more hours, FOG 1.5.8 will be out.

[Skeer]

I did checkout the dev-branch… but yeah sure I’ll be your huckleberry… err guinea pig.

@Skeer FOG 1.5.8 is out now: https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/releases/tag/1.5.8

Thanks Sebastian, I’m trying it out today.
