Unable to update Kernel and Captures not going to /images

[Sebastian Roth]

@doogxela Please run md5sum /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage_5.6.18 /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage32_5.6.18 and post output here!

@Sebastian-Roth I don’t have /html/ in the path to those files. Here is the output of that command to the files where they live for me.

@doogxela Please run ls -al /var/www /var/www/fog /var/www/html ()note the spaces in between!) and post output here.

@doogxela Do you remember what you did on 19th of September? On a normal install /var/www/fog is not a directory but just a link to /var/www/html/fog/. See here:

ls -al /var/www/
total 16
drwxr-xr-x.  4 root root 4096 Sep 11 13:58 .
drwxr-xr-x. 22 root root 4096 Sep 11 13:50 ..
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root 4096 Jun  8 22:16 cgi-bin
lrwxrwxrwx.  1 root root   18 Sep 11 13:58 fog -> /var/www/html/fog/
drwxr-xr-x.  3 root root 4096 Sep 13 14:00 html

So you have two different FOG web UI installs now. Please run the following command and post output here: grep FOG_VERSION /var/www/fog/lib/fog/system.class.php /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/system.class.php

As a quick fix you can copy those new kernels from /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/ to /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/ and I am sure it will boot with those bzImage_5.6.18 kernels.

@Sebastian-Roth

:~$ grep FOG_VERSION /var/www/fog/lib/fog/system.class.php /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/system.class.php
/var/www/fog/lib/fog/system.class.php:        define('FOG_VERSION', '1.5.9');
/var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/system.class.php:        define('FOG_VERSION', '1.5.9');

The 19th is when I initially installed FOG on this machine. I know that I ran the installation multiple times, due to some difficulty with getting the network configuration to make sense. Do you have any idea what would have caused the installation to use /var/www/fog to store information rather than /var/www/html/fog?

[Sebastian Roth]

@doogxela We see this happen from time to time but I simply cannot replicate how this happens. Just to make sure it’s not just the folders having that date I may ask you to run the following two commands and post output here as well:

ls -al /var/www/fog/lib/fog/system.class.php /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/system.class.php
ls -al /var/www/fog/lib/fog/config.class.php /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/config.class.php

[doogxela]

@Sebastian-Roth

:~$ ls -al /var/www/fog/lib/fog/system.class.php /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/system.class.php
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 1524 Sep 19 19:11 /var/www/fog/lib/fog/system.class.php
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 1524 Sep 24 12:18 /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/system.class.php

:~$ ls -al /var/www/fog/lib/fog/config.class.php /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/config.class.php

@doogxela Ok, seems all good to move that stuff in /var/www/fog out of the way.

sudo mv /var/www/fog /var/www/fog_delete_after_14_days
sudo ln -s /var/www/html/fog/ /var/www/fog

Not sure if Lubuntu is doing something special here that would cause this?!

[doogxela]

@Sebastian-Roth After moving the files and creating the link, it all seems to be working correctly now. I have updated the kernels using the web interface, and it successfully updated and is using them. My test computer now successfully boots to ipxe.

I wish I could tell you what I did during the installation process that might have broken the link, but since this was my first time setting up a DHCP server and my first time installing FOG from scratch, it could be any number of things.

I appreciate the assistance here.

[Sebastian Roth]

@doogxela Good to hear this solved all the issues. Please keep in mind that when you re-run the installer to upgrade to the next version this might happen again. Though I am not sure. I don’t have Lubuntu to test here.
