FOG Install Error

[bdrucci]

During install of FOG on CentOS 8 using fog zip file
curl: (6) Could Not resolve host: rpms.remirepo.net

unable to ping site and verified that firewalls are not blocking.

@bdrucci Does your fog server have direct access to the internet?

If not, do you need to go through a proxy server to get to the internet?

[bdrucci]

We do not currently have a proxy server setup. And I had our network admin look at this. He was unable to determine any problem.

Ok this confused me a bit. Can you ping “rpms.remirepo.net” or not? If not is the name resolving to an IP address on the FOG server? Right now its not clear if the issue is a DNS issue (name look up) or a ping issue (connectivity). Its also possible that the remi repo is off line too.

@bdrucci That URL loads fine on my tests. Seems like a DNS or connection issue on your side. When you run ping rpms.remirepo.net does it resolve to an IP address or not?

[bdrucci]

@george1421 Found out that it’s directly connected.

Ping wasn’t going through this morning but now it is… I might have tried to install at a bad time I guess. I will try again.

[bdrucci]

Direct access to the internet. It looks like in the functions.sh file the website is http:// by default instead of https://

I actually want to get it to work from a US mirror but can’t seem to get that change to work.

What exactly did you change?

[bdrucci]

Changed rpms.remirepo.net to repo1.ash.innoscale.net/remi as it’s listed as a mirror.

The repo1.ash.innoscale.net mirror seems to be HTTP and not HTTPS as far as I see it. This URL works: http://repo1.ash.innoscale.net/remi/ but this one doesn’t https://repo1.ash.innoscale.net/remi/

But there seem to be two US mirros hosting with HTTPS, just choose one of those.

[Sebastian Roth]

Just updated to use https://rpms.remirepo.net/ (HTTPS) in the official install script.

Thank you!
