Error Installing Fog - FOG Multicast Management Server Failed
-
I am running CentOS 6.4 and am having issues installing FOG. I am using the link below as instructions for installing.
[url]http://topgearit.net/index.php?title=Install_Fog_Server[/url]I followed these instructions very well and am stopped at this error… “Starting FOG Multicast Management Server… Failed!”
I have rebooted and re-ran the installer several times. I know I have internet connection. What security settings should I look at to fix this issue? Or is there something else that could cause this?
-
You need to make one more configuration change in /opt/fog/service/etc/config.php
Make sure the information for the database is pointing to the right place with username and password.
Hope this helps.

Is there default settings that are created when mysql-server is installed? I was never prompted to set a username or password. What would the MYSQL_HOST be?
-
I set the host to “localhost” and the username to “fog” with the password blank. When I restarted the install it erased what I had entered in the config.php file and still gave the error.
-
Usually fog sets up default parameters as localhost and root for the username. You’ll need to edit the file as root and make the appropriate changes in the configuration file for your setup. That said it sounds like you just installed fog. You may need to edit the /etc/my.cnf file as root and allow you bind to be attached to your fog servers IP address rather than 127.0.0.1. I’m not at home yet so I’ll elaborate more when I’m not confined to a cell phone.
-
Also, ensure selinux is disabled. You van also make sure iptables is off. When you disable selinux you’ll have to reboot the server, then try finishing the install.
-
Again, I’ll give more info when I get home.
-
Okay, great. I know that iptables and selinux are already disabled. Everything is being done as root. I tried again after editing the config.php file correctly and got same error. Thanks for your help by the way… editing the /etc/my.cnf file as root to allow me bind to be attached to my fog servers IP address rather than 127.0.0.1 is where I’m a bit lost. I will wait til you are home to explain. THANKS!

my.cnf is what MySQL uses to establish connections on the system. However, you’re right now stuck just trying to get FOG installed. What version are you attempting to install? FOG 0.32 or FOG 0.33?
I’ve never had problems install either on centos 6.4 but I’ll build a VM and install whichever version you’re trying to install just to try replicating your results. I’ll even follow the guide you’re following. Then I can be of more assistance, so it will be a couple of minutes while CentOS 6.4 installs as I just use netinstall.iso for doing this. Once we get a successful install on your side, we can work on the nitty gritty parts with /etc/my.cnf, selinux, iptables, etc…

I am using FOG 0.32
-
I figured as I opened the wiki. I’m doing the first parts right now. I hope you don’t mind a slight delay.
-
Alright,
I’m about to start the install. I’ve disabled selinux and turned off iptables, just awaiting reboot so I can get fog installed.
I know this sounds weird, but I hope I get the exact problem you’re seeing.
-
Real quick question, when you’re doing the setup part (the choices you make) can you tell me the selections you’re making besides the entering of your IP information as mine is probably different.
Thank you,

Choosing option 1 for Redhat
Normal mode
Everything else is defaults except choosing to make FOG dchp server which is no. We are integrating our own network with fog -
That’s exactly what I did, it’s installing right now, will just be a few more minutes.
-
Alright,
Bad-news,
Multicast management server started up just fine on my install.
-
How familiar are you with log files within linux?
-
Did you make sure to update your sources/OS before installing FOG? On ubuntu, that’s apt-get update following by an apt-get upgrade.
This makes sure you have the latest info on the packages. This can solve many a tricky install problem.

She’s running centos 6.4, so:
[CODE]yum -y update[/CODE]
Would work much better (and yes I totally just learned how to use bb code element
)
