@greg-plamondon Ok what hardware are you installing this on? I’m suspecting not intel.

Also please attach the error log mentioned in the error /root/fogproject-1.5.9/bin/error_logs/fog_error_1.5.9.log

@greg-plamondon Ok its saying that mysql-server package doesn’t exist in the arm repository.

I realize this is for 14.04 but the concept and install instructions are still the same: https://www.mininodes.com/how-to-install-mysql-on-the-ubuntu-arm-server/

From an elevated command prompt on the FOG server run this command:

apt-get install mysql-server

See if mysql gets installed correctly, if yes then rerun the fog installer.

@george1421 There are a few other tweaks you might want to do with this setup depending on how many client computers are going to be in use here. But lets get FOG installed first.

@george1421
Thanks, I did manage to get fog installed, turns out that I was using the TFTP password and not the MySQL Password, it was a long day and I am glad it’s Friday!

What other tweaks do you have for me?

Thanks!

@greg-plamondon What is your end goal for this fog server?

How many computers will have the fog client installed on them that will hit this FOG-Pi server?
