Starting FOG Multicast Management Server...Failed!
-
I deleted the folder associated fog, removed MySQL completely and deleted the MySQL directories.
After that I reinstalled fog and it failed on multicast, I updated the schema and reinstalled fog and everything passed.
When I run a machine image on a fresh install it still fails on the FTP account. I checked all the places that were recommended above and they all match for username and password.
I am not sure if I am missing something or if the installer is not working properly.
Thanks -
if you’re certain your passwords are correct, you might check your vsftpd.conf file to see if there’s a line that says seccomp_sandbox=NO
if it’s there, try removing it and restarting the vsftpd service
if it’s not, try adding it and restarting the vsftpd server -
Ok will try that
What makes zero sense is I can log in from an alternate Windows machine to that FTP site and create a new folder and delete it with the same credentials. -
when I added that line to my conf file and restart the service it says unrecognized variable maybe it’s not compiled for that or something. I triple checked the spelling and made sure _ was in there.
I think I have hit about every road block so far :rolleyes: -
ok, the sandbox thing isn’t relevant for you then. are you certain that the linux user “fog” has it’s password set to the same as is listed in the fog settings?
-
Yes I made the password the same for everything. That is what I am saying I can plug a cross connect in to the machine and use the same client to ftp to the fog server and create/delete a folder.
So far I have it changed via
passwd
login for fog portal
under storage management
both places in the html file config.php -
those 2 places in config.php are no longer used
have you changed the password to match in Fog Settings -> TFTP Server -> FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD -
-
The pictures are in reverse but you get the idea.
-
Can you create an upload-debug task from the advanced options during task deployment and run fog.
When at the command prompt, simply type:
[code]fog[/code]When it starts giving you the error, type CTRL+C and it will bring you back to the command prompt.
Then type:
[code]ftp 192.168.247.15[/code]Then it should ask you for the username to connect as. Type fog.
Then it should as you to enter the password. Type Welcome1.
If all connects as expected type:
[code]cd /images
mkdir testMe123[/code]Does all work?
-
for upload tasks
I have
schedule shutdown
schedule instance deployment
schedule delayed
schedule cron styleI don’t see upload-debug task
Is there a key to hit when the client boots to PXE to get to this information? I am not sure if this is to be run on the client or server.
-
It’s not when you click on upload tasks. Choose the host, go to basic tasks, then choose advanced. In there will be Upload-Debug.
-
Ok I see what you mean now.
I started in debug, typed fog, it threw error unknown request type null will reboot in 1 minute.
I hit Ctrl C it returned me back to command prompt
I typed ftp 192.168.247.15
it returned “command not found” -
no, you chose the wrong task.
Under advanced options, there’s an upload - debug. Not the pure debug task.
-
Thanks for your patience.
I created a new debug upload task that came to a screen that said “you can reboot, run fog or ifconfig”
I type fog and it began to run
When the errors start I clicked ctrl c
I typed ftp 192.168.247.15
It said command not found -
Okay,
That’s probably correct as, now, I realize I didn’t install an FTP client.
So you can safely cancel that task.
So you can FTP from a windows system, but can you FTP from the actual FOG Server?
The commands I gave above should work on your FOG Server system to test.
-
ok
Yes I am able to ftp to the server using the same credentials from the same machine I am trying to image and create/delete folders.
I am also able to do it at the command line on the server as well as Mozilla.With that said it is creating the folders under /home/fog not under /images/
I don’t know if that matters or not -
What I need you to do is to cd into /images.
I’m not worried about the machine you’re trying to upload the image from, rather wanting to see where the actual issue is.
Do it from the FOG Server.
open a terminal and run:
[code]ftp 192.168.247.15[/code]It should ask for a username. Enter fog type enter
It should ask for a password. Enter Welcome1 (or whatever the password is) and type enter.
It should say something like: cmd successful.
Exact info may vary but when I succeed I get:
[code]230 Login successful.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.[/code]Then type
[code]cd /images[/code]It should report back something like:
[code]250 Directory successfully changed.[/code] If not there’s probably an issue here.IF successful type:
[code]mkdir testMeNow[/code]If that’s successful it should report as:
[code]257 “/images/testMeNow” created[/code]Then We’ll know if it’s a user issue, or if it’s a permissions issue.
-
Ok off for the weekend, will be back at lab on Monday.
Have a good weekend and thanks for the help. -
Yes all of this worked I can cd /images create a folder as the user fog and double check by going to images folder and seeing the test folder.
