Hello,

I recently upgraded to fog working-1.6 because of compatibility issues with new computers. My version is 1.6.0-alpha.1109

I’ve deployed images just fine, but I don’t think I’ve captured an image since the upgrade.

When I try today, I can’t capture, I have this weird error popping up “Failed to parse time string (No Data) at position 0 (N) : The timezone could not be found in the database (In line for )” :

In fogWeb, my timezone is

in my /etc/php/7.4/fpm/php.ini I have

I’ve tried rebooting, reinstalling fog… no difference.

Any idea ?

@lcis Allow me a question before we get to talk about the issue. Why did you update to working-1.6? While it’s a cool new web UI there is pretty much no one working on this bleeding edge version of FOG. The so called dev-branch is also a development version but way more stable. Just wondering where you got the information to update to working-1.6? There is no quick and easy way to switch to dev-branch now so I suggest you stick with working-1.6 for now.

Now back to the issue. Can you please edit /var/www/fog/lib/reg-task/taskqueue.class.php, go to line 275 and comment out that line. Check out the code on github to make sure you find the right spot: https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/blob/working-1.6/packages/web/lib/reg-task/taskqueue.class.php#L275

Before:

    $ImageStartTime = self::niceDate($this->Task->get('checkInTime'))->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

After:

    //$ImageStartTime = self::niceDate($this->Task->get('checkInTime'))->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

Now boot into the deploy task again and see if it still fails.

Hello,
So far, this fixes it thank you so much!

As for your question, fog did not work with new Dell computers I received recently and I thought I had to upgrade it… and my issues were solved once the upgrade was done.
But I’m not very used to github so I didn’t know which branch was better. I didn’t know dev-branch is more stable than working branch, I thought the opposite.

I’m sorry for the inconvenience…

Not at all an issue. I just thought I let you know. You can’t count on things to be fixed in working-1.6 because no one is maintaining this branch as of now.

Thanks for testing the quick fix and reporting back. I will look into properly fixing this issue in the working-1.6 branch some time this week because I remember we had this issue mentioned in the forums a couple of times and now we know what’s causing it.
