New Snapin - Cannot change directory

[Taspharel]

Hello.

Server: Centos 7
FOG: You’re running the latest dev-branch version: 1.5.9-RC2.8

When I try Creating a new snapin I get the following error:

Type: 2, File: /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/fogftp.class.php, Line: 464, Message: ftp_login(): OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/fogproject, Host: 192.168.43.17, Username: fogproject

Checked the .fogsettings file, Storage settings and tftp Settings, both user and password seem to be identical.

Re-Ran the installfog.sh

Reset the password for the fogproject user to make sure its what i thought it should be.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your ongoing support.

@Taspharel Can you make the folder:

chown -R fogproject:fogproject /home/fogproject

I don’t know who admin_ha is.

Just noticed, similar error when trying to do a kernel update:

Type: 2, File: /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/fogftp.class.php, Line: 464, Message: ftp_login(): OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/fogproject, Host: 192.168.43.17, Username: fogproject

Did somebody delete the /home/fogproject folder?

That seems to be what happened here.

[Taspharel]

Doesn’t look like it

@Taspharel is selinux running? And enforcing? Can you set to permissive and see if that works?

[Taspharel]

This is what I get from sestatus:

So it seems its set to permissive already? Shall I deactivate?

I am not Linux native so sorry for any confusions that may arise. Thanks for taking the time!!

@Taspharel You shouldn’t need to do anything special.

What’s the permissions for that directory?

[Taspharel]

Is it this from ls -ld fogproject (run from the home directory)?

[Tom Elliott]

@Taspharel Can you make the folder:

chown -R fogproject:fogproject /home/fogproject

I don’t know who admin_ha is.

[Taspharel]

It works now. Great!!

That would be my user on the fog machine. No idea why that user became the owner, wouldnt the install script set permissions to the fogproject user?

Or does the output from ls mean something different?

[Tom Elliott]

@Taspharel Only when initially created yes. I don’t think it resets the permissions after.
