Capturing image update database failed
-
@Baessens Taking another close look at the error message I found that I got the dot at the end of
Could not create file.wrong. It’s not the dot marking the current directory but just a full stop at the end of the sentence.Please grab the FTP connection settings (IP: 10.0.0.40, user: fogproject and password) from your
/opt/fog/.fogsettingsfile, connect to your FOG server using any known FTP client program and try create directory/images/dev/0800275021aeand upload a random file to that new directory. -
@Sebastian-Roth Thanks for your reply.
The password in the/.fogsettingsfile is different then the one in the GUI under TFTP server.
Should i change the one in the GUI to match the one in/.fogsettings?Also i can upload a random file in there.
-
@Sebastian-Roth I can also create a directory and upload a random file into that new dir.

Are the usernames different as well?? When only the password is different we should see a login error in the picture instead of a “Could not create” message I reckon.
Please go through this: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11203/resyncing-fog-s-service-account-password
-
It seems to only be the password that is different.
i’ll try that resyncing thing too. -
@Sebastian-Roth I am still getting the same error.
I might just install a whole new server. Can you think of anything else that might be causing the error?Thanks for all your help allready.
-
@Baessens Too bad. I usually try to dig into things till I find the root cause of it. Though I understand if this just seems unsolvable.
Re-reading most of the topic I saw that you seem to have a subdirectory
/images/dev/dev. Though I don’t think this can cause the issue I am wondering where this came from. Please runls -alR /images/dev/devand post output here.Meanwhile I am digging through the code to see what else we can try.

@Sebastian-Roth
Could it have something to do with the SQL creds?I think it must have happened after an update, either from FOG or Ubuntu.

With SQL creds wrong you’d see completely other issues and wouldn’t even be able to schedule a task in the web UI.

Don’t think I have ever seen this happen from an update. Possibly something you did when moving images to a differnt disk/partition.
-
@Baessens Ohhhhhhhh no!!! Why haven’t I noticed this before??? Can’t believe it. The second picture of your initial post actually has the solution to this riddle in it already. Image is named
UEFI01/09/20v2004and as a forward slash is the directory separator on Linux systems it will fail to rename the uploaded image…Simply use dashes (
-) instead of the slash in both the image name and path and I am sure it will upload just fine.We don’t get that very often and I actually thought we had some kind of regex check in the web UI to prevent from this but seems like I was wrong.
-
@Sebastian-Roth Wow… Good spot! I always use a dash, but for some reason it uses
/in the path.
It doesn’t show it in the images list tho, need to click on the image name to actually see it.
I think there is a regex check but only for the image name, not the path. (which is usually the same)I’ll try it right away.

Works fine now. Thanks @Sebastian-Roth !
