[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 34447, member: 7271”]Does your database have a password?
You can test with:
[code]mysql -u root fog[/code]If it gives you “USING PASSWORD: NO” but fails to connect, it’s likely you have a mysql root password set.[/quote]
Tom,
It went right in… no password set, and it took me to the “mysql>” prompt (it also displays MySQL version info before that - 5.5.38-0ubuntu.14.04.1 (Ubuntu))

Thanks for the info. That was invaluable and worked! Sorry for asking in an announcement thread, didn’t realize I was in one.
Thanks,

Then can you check the /var/www/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php file specifically under the db_settings() method and make sure the DATABASE_HOST is localhost, DATABASE_NAME is fog, DATABASE_USERNAME is root, and DATABASE_PASSWORD is ‘’
-
Tom,
Yes, confirmed, the settings are as follows on /var/www/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php
DATABASE_HOST ‘localhost’
DATABASE_NAME ‘fog’
DATABASE_USERNAME ‘root’
DATABASE_PASSWORD ‘’ -
Can you try:
sudo service mysql restart, or simply a system reboot? Maybe firewall is blocking access to mysql from your systems? -
Tom,
I restarted the server several times, and it seemed to load the web interface but then a minute after it was displaying the “Database Schema Installer / Updater” accompanied by the client PCs not able to load anything from TFTP… This is the same for the other two FOG Servers I installed from scratch on Ubuntu 14.04.
Here are the steps I followed, in case they are of help:
[LIST]
[]Installed Ubuntu 14.04 from flash drive with options:
[LIST]
[]Download Updates during Install
[]Erased Hard drive (it was brand new but nothing else installed)
[]Restarted
[]Installed all Ubuntu updates (nothing else added or installed)
[]Restarted
[/LIST]
[]Installed FOG 1.2.0 from TAR:
[LIST]
[]Downloaded FOG 1.2.0
[]tar xvzf fog_1.2.0.tar.gz
[]sudo ./installfog.sh
[LIST]
[]Followed prompts for Debian (Ubuntu install)
[]Normal Install
[]No DHCP
[]Selected appropriate Router Address
[]Entered DNS IP
[]Left MySQL password blank
[]Logged in to web interface to install Schema
[]Hit Enter to proceed
[/LIST]
[/LIST]
[/LIST]
After that I did:
[LIST]
[]Quick registered host with Master Image
[]Capture image from first host (Image ID # 1)
[]Full hosts registration for 29 computers
[LIST]
[]Selected Image ID 1 for all hosts
[/LIST]
[]Created group for the 29 computers (computer lab)
[]Multicasted image to 29 clients
[]Shut down server (yesterday)
[]Turned on server today
[*]Tried to multicast image again on the next day (we were testing imaging) and started to get the page for the schema update
[/LIST]
EDIT:- Created user to allow login via PXE Menu
- Edited the PXE Menu to Timeout 5 seconds and Hide menu - Press F9 to login
-
Okay, so the issue, I believe, is because if ibdata.log.
Try the steps at the top of this issue in my github?

[quote=“BigDawg986, post: 34017, member: 75”]Thanks, I should have figured as much but whenever I set up multiboots I always put each OS in a separate partition so that’s why I asked.[/quote]
which option should I choose to get an image (from win/lin disc) resizable?
my settings:
Operating System: Other (99)
Image Type: Single Disk (Resizable) -(1)What i have to do, to clone from 250GB to 160GB (hd size) ?
Thanks and sorry about my inexperience

Choose either Linux or Windows OS type, not other.

When creating images in fog ui, these error appears on listing:
FOGFTP: Failed to connect. Host: 192.168.1.12, Error: Undefined variable: whereArrayHow can i fix ?
-
What do you get if you run:
[code]mysql -u root [ -p #only if you have a db password ] fog
select * from images where imageName=“<a name of your image here>” \G;[/code] -
Tom,
I did the delayed start of mysql as indicated on the rc.local file.
now the tftpd-hpa wont respond to requests unless I stop it manually and start it again.
I disabled tftpd-hpa by:
sudo update-rc.d tftpd-hpa disablethen tried doing the same for the tftpd-hpa on the /etc/rc.local file and added:
sleep 30 && start tftpd-hpa
but I still need to top and start tftpd-hpa manually by doing this:
sudo stop tftpd-hpa
sudo start tftpd-hpathen it works…
Any ideas???
-
I get the same error as Thiago:
These error appear in image listing:FOGFTP: Failed to connect. Host:xxxxxxxxxxxxx, Error: Undefined variable: whereArray
How can i fix ?

Hi Mr. Daniel Murga,
In my case, with a help from Tom Elliot, the firewall was the problem.
I am running a local firewall on fog machine and unblocking ports to my clients (20,21) solved my problem.
If you need more details, see: [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=FOGUserGuide#Full_Listing_of_Ports_used_by_FOG_server_and_client[/url] -
Hi,

Hi Tom,
I’m now able to download the file. There was a problem with the network of Sourceforge.
Greetings and thanks for this fantastic program!

I was able to download the latest update using sudo wget [url]https://sourceforge.net/projects/freeghost/files/latest/download?source=[/url]
It seemed to download fine, but don’t know where to go from there to get it installed. I am running a linux server with no GUI, and I don’t see where the update downloaded to.
-
it downloaded to what ever folder you were in when you ran the sudo wget command.
Normally that would be a home folder unless you changed the directory and then ran the command.
check your home folder, type ls to see a list of current folders and files.
