      Hello,

      I have a Ubuntu 14.04 Fog 1.20 server and I have work through the directory rights issue and corrected my FTP login to download a image. Now I am getting a error soon as the image tries to download. It tells me “Image is a directory”. I tried to change the image type and it doesn’t help. I am working with this server in a virtualbox environment and vista virtualbox on a inside network.

      Any help you guys can give me would be great!

        Here are a couple things to check:

        -Are the images stored or mounted under /images?
        -Verify on the website Image Management tab the image location is exactly the same as the image path on the server
        -Run the following commands if not done so already:
        sudo chown -R fog /images
        sudo chmod -R 755 /images
        sudo chmod -R 777 /images/dev

        How were the images uploaded via 1.20 or .32 or earlier?

          I have the images stored in the default directory “images” on the / of the drive. I have verified the path is the exact same. It actual list the image folder correctly on start of the pxe download. I have verified the is full rights to the image directory. This is a brand new install, all images were uploaded under 1.20.

            Could you open up terminal and reply back with what shows up after the following to commands:
            ls -la /images/{image your trying to deploy/

            Also verify that the storage management page has the same settings for image location as in LN87 in /lib/fog/Config.class.php.

            If you changed these settings after a host was already registered I would also remove it and re-add

              the settings in [SIZE=2]/lib/fog/Config.class.php are not [/SIZE]relevant[SIZE=2] here, as the storage management section of that data has been moved to the database. the relevant settings to this are now found on the storage management page[/SIZE]

              [SIZE=2]there should be no need to re-register the host either[/SIZE]

                      Based on the .swapuuids it looks like your vistatest2 image operating system is set to linux instead of Windows Vista. Go into image management and change this and then re-upload. For a windows image you should see a d1.mbr file

                        1.2.0 had a known issue with Vista images in specifics. The extra files are to be expected but I forgot about vista when recoding all of the things. I’m sorry. I believe it was fixed in 2096 or 2097 of the svn trunk though.

                          I know it was set to vista when I uploaded it. I will try changing the settings to see if it will change how it uploads. thanks

                            I set it to “Windows Vista” it still uploaded the same way. If it is just something with vista then I will go a head and try windows 7 at work. I am testing it for a windows 7 environment anyway. Hope that works better! 🙂

                              Or you could install the fog latest version from code according to Tom this has been resolved:

                              sudo apt-get install subversion
                              svn checkout [url]http://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk[/url] freeghost-code
                              cd freeghost-code/bin
                              sudo ./installfog.sh

                              I have been using one with version 2196 and a couple of others with 1.2

                                  I tried the commands.

                                  apt-get install subversion
                                  svn checkout

                                  Do I need to link up a different source or repository?

                                      I updated to the latest release of the server. (Version 2201) It created the image into one file. When I try to do a download. It comes up with a deployment screen, then says “error” at the bottom then reboots.

                                        What is the output of

                                        Have you tried a different OS yet? Maybe vista issue was not resolved I am not sure I have not used it with fog.

                                          Can you try running the upload task in “Download - Debug” mode? To create the “debug” task, cancel the current download task if it’s not already been done. Go to host, list or search for the host you want to upload the task from. Click on the host and go to Basic tasks, choose Advanced, then click and schedule the Download - Debug task. Then boot the host.

                                          When you start the host, the task will not automatically start. At the “command” prompt type fog and hit enter. Then the task will start as normal. There will likely be pauses to help in the debugging process and where things are failing. Can you provide more information using this method?

                                          Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved.

                                            I am having a similar issue here in that I upload an image, but I can’t download/deploy it. Last Friday when I tried, I attempted download, but teh old image deployed, even after deleting the files (I thought_ in the web portal. Today, I deleted the image and checked the box to delete files, so I could reupload. When I console into the server, I still see the files in /images/LatitudeE5510 which is where it says the image should be. This time I deleted through the web portal, then went in via SSH and removed the files and the directory inside /images. I double checked using ls command and the directory was gone. So I reuploaded my syspreped image after creating it again. Now when I go to deploy the image, it says it can’t find the image store. The LatitudeE5510 directory has not been created inside /images.

                                            I did not previously know about the /images/dev directory and when I look inside there, I see several MAC addresses, one being my upload machine.

                                            Is something not moving these files where they should be or something? I had previously looked at the permissions and /images had group and owner and everyone having read/write acccess.

                                            Just wondering where my images are and why I can’t deploy? I am running version 1.2 on Ubuntu server.
