Unable to access the FOG URL(remote user interface)
-
I just installed FOG on a Ubuntu system using the following article.
[url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/FOG_on_an_Isolated_Network[/url]
After the install, it said this.
You still need to install/update your database schema.
This can be done by opening a web browser and going to:[url]http://192.168.1.5/fog/management[/url] Default User: Username: fog Password: passwordI am unable to access [url]http://192.168.1.5/fog/management[/url]. I can’t access the FOG RUI at all. I was able to boot a computer on the network to FOG using PXE so I know that part is working.
I do have a password setup for the root user but during the install for MySQL, I just pressed enter and left the password blank. I also tried editng the config.php files with my root password but that doesn’t work either.
Can someone tell me where I went wrong here? I am close.
Thanks,
Justin

Can you post what your /var/log/apache2/error.log contains?
Also make sure Apache2 is running by going to 192.168.1.5
You should get a page that says “It works”
-
Thank you for replying.
I did that and it said “starting web server apach2,” but I still can’t access the FOG interface. How can I tell if the service is started? When I just visit the IP, I get the “It works!” page from Apache 2 Ubunut Default page.Justin

I edited my post above, please post the results of your apache2 error log.
It’s likely going to say the mysql password was incorrect.
-
How do I obtain the log? I am new to Linux and Apache.
I did try editing the two files with my root password but that was no luck. So I have tried my root password and no password which is what I used during the install. -
If you entered no password on the FOG install wizard, make sure your config files have no passwords listed.
After that restart your apache2 service by typing “Sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart”
After that try accessing the webpage, if you cannot get to 192.168.1.5/fog then run the command “vi /var/log/apache2/error.log”
And grab the bottom 10 lines of it and post it here.

Here is the log.

Are those the last 14 lines of the log or the first 14?
The newest are at the bottom, not the top.
-
They are the entire log. I’ll check again to make sure but I did control A to select all.
-
Can you make sure the mysql service is running?
“sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start”
-
Yes that is the entire /var/log/apache2/error.log.
-
I entered that command and it said it started but still can’t access the FOG console.
-
Did you ever get a page to show up on 192.168.1.5/fog/, even if it just said “Click here to upgrade database”?
-
No, I was never able to access the page. I followed the install direction in the link above. I am not sure where I went wrong.
-
This is a fresh install of Ubuntu as well. When I installed, I created an IT user that has a password. That is separate from the root which I enabled after the install. When I tried to enter the commands you put above, I was always asked to enter the IT password even though I am logged on as root. Could that of had to do with anything?
-
I used a different IP address then the default they recommended. I am also connected to a router on my home network but that should have nothing to do with locally connecting to the fog console right? I am unable to access it even if I disconnect all network connections. I know I have the IP right since I get the “It works!” page.

[code]tail -100f /var/log/apache2/error.log[/code]
Keep the terminal running.
Try accessing the page:
192.168.1.5/fogDoes it try to redirect you to: 192.1.68.1.5/fog/commons/index.php?redir=1 ?
-
Thanks for the reply but I am already reinstalling. It should not be this hard so something must of went wrong. I’ll let you know if I still have this issue after reinstalling.
Thanks,
Justin

This post is deleted! -
which version of Ubuntu, and did you make sure to update the system before you run the FOG installer? (sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade)
