                @Trev-lchs said in FOG 1.5.10 officially released:

                Hi all I know its very old, but, will 1.5.10 work ok on ubuntu 10.04.6 LTS Xenial Xerus

                I hate to say this because I know we all need to run old stuff, but 10.04 reached end of support by ubuntu in 2015. I would bet that the ubuntu repos will not have all of the required prerequisites in their distribution needed for FOG 1.5.10. The installer should fail. BUT, if you are able to get FOG installed, it will run on that old of an operating system because uses all FOSS components.

                For you, unless you have a really compelling case, you will be better off in the long run to install FOG on a current supported operating system and walk away from 10.04.

                Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

                  @george1421 I am pretty sure the number is a typo because the distro name is for 16.04 which makes a little more sense than 10.04.

                  @Trev-lchs Officially we 1.5.10 does not support Ubuntu 16.04 as it reached the normal end of life cycle. And we don’t have a intaller test running for 16.04 either. But on the other hand I don’t see what change should make it impossible to use 1.5.10 on Ubuntu 16.04 in case you are using PHP 7.0 at the least. So I suggest you either setup a fresh test instance and see how it goes or even better you take a snapshot of your production server and just do an update to 1.5.10. Let us know how it goes.

                  By the way, even 14.04 is still hast so called extended security maintainance (ESM) just as 16.04 does according to wikipedia. This is definitely too much of official OS support we can stem. Not saying you cannot install FOG 1.5.10 on 14.04. I just haven’t tried.

                  Something I came to think about. How does Ubuntu handle things like PHP for such old versions. Are you still using PHP 7.0 on 16.04 while even 7.4 is not being updated anymore.

                  Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                    @Sebastian-Roth Hi Sabastian. Yes you are correct 16.04.6 LTS Xenial Xerus, well I took your advice and created a snapshot of the virtual server. Installed 1.5.10 and so far all seems well, I will let you know, but …

                      @george1421 Hi George, sorry buddy it is a typo, its 16.04.6 LTS Xenial Xerus. Thanks for getting back to me, just for info I took Sabastian’s advice and took a snapshot of the server and installed1.5.10 and all seems ok for now. I will however look to upgrade to the latest LST version.

                        @Sebastian-Roth
                        Hello,
                        until now I was using the “dev-branch” branch of git:

                        git branch -vv
                        * dev-branch ddb9904a7 [origin/dev-branch] Fix https build failing due to inline tests
                         master 171d63724 [origin/master] FOG 1.5.9 Officially Released
                        

                        For the latest update of fog: 1.5.10, is it better to switch to the master branch?
                        This is a production server and I don’t want to “break” it.

                        Once the choice of the branch is made, the update procedure is always the same?

                        Change the reference branch to master or dev-branch (To be done the first time)
                        	git checkout master or git checkout dev-branch
                        Initialize git :
                        	git init
                        Update the git repository:
                        	git pull
                        Install FOG
                        cd bin/
                        ./installfog.sh
                        

                        Thanks for your help.
                        Pascal

                          @plegrand Good you are asking. Going forward is always supported. So in your particular case coming from commit ddb9904a7 (version 1.5.9.111) you can safely switch to the master branch and then follow the known update commands:

                          cd /path/to/fogproject
                          git checkout master
                          git pull
                          # Make sure this succeeds as it can fail when you have made changes to the repo files,
                          # e.g. compiled ipxe binaries. If this fails, then you can drop all modifications using "git reset --hard HEAD"
                          cd bin
                          ./installfog.sh
                          

                          Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                            Thank you for your answer.
                            I didn’t touched anything in the deposits.
                            I use Fog as it is, without changing anything.
                            So I will do the update and I will come back here to tell you if everything went well.
                            Thanks again.

                                This seems like a dumb question but is there a way for us to “Upgrade to FOG 1.5.10” without a complete uninstallation?

                                Thanks.

                                  @Kureebow Yes, if you installed FOG originally using the git method, just change to that directory (typically /root/fogproject) and execute the command git pull then change into the bin directory and run the installfog.sh script once again. That will update fog from a previous release to 1.5.10.

                                  Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

                                    fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /home)

                                          FOG 1.5.10 was kind of re-released (technically just re-tagged on Github) just now to patch issues causing trouble when updating from an earlier version with the location plugin enabled.
