FOG Update IPXE Issues

[wkratky]

I ran those ls -a and md5sum commands, and it says no such file or directory exists for both, which I confirmed in connecting to the server via WinSCP. See attached for the information from the link you provided. ltops333.txt

@wkratky Please run the following commands and post all output here:

ls -al /var/www
grep docroot /opt/fog/.fogsettings
find /etc -type f -exec grep DocumentRoot {} /dev/null \;

Apologies for the delay, I have not had another opportunity to try this. I am wondering if the problems are related to git. I followed the Update to latest page in the Wiki, and when I run the git cmds, I get the attached messages. I was not doing this in previous attempts when I did the ./installfog.sh.

Here is the output from the last message’s request. Note this is from after yum update -y and yum -y install git, but not the actual version update.

Here is that reading post 1.5.9 update. Now instead of errors, it is just a blank screen when attempting to run the image.

Well, it looks like you don’t run the git commands in the right directory. Not sure where you have put it but maybe try cd fogproject before running the git commands. Otherwise search the disk to find it find / -name "installfog.sh"

The output from the commands look fine. There is no issue with the web directory on your install. So go ahead und re-run the installer.

Not sure what you mean by that. The picture posted is pretty much the same as the other one.

My first picture did not paint the whole picture. I tried in /root/git initially and got those messages, so I moved the files to root and same thing. I have been attempting from the fogproject-1.5.9 folder. Does it matter or does it have to be ‘fogproject’?

I will see if I can try it again this afternoon or for sure later this week.

Folder name doesn’t matter.

Yeah still no joy. I am about to the end of my rope. I did notice the attached when watching the install work. Would these be any clues?

Please tell us which commands you used? It’s pretty hard to read between the lines.

I just did a test install using dev-branch. It did not fail on “Downloading kernel, init and fog-client binaries”!

I could imagine old binaries still being in the fogproject tmp folder. So go to fogproject/tmp/ (or fogproject-1.5.9/tmp/ in your case) and delete all the files from that subfolder. Then re-run the FOG installer.

I think we got it figured out. I researched that init.xy error and found another ticket that talked about websites being blocked. I did not realize that the tarball still made calls out for files for the update. Sure enough, I found websites blocked. I added those sites to our whitelist, and tried it again and it worked perfect. I guess sometimes you just got to throw your hands up in the air and reset!

Thank you for your help throughout this long drawn out process.
