Install/update your databse schema - blank page

[Tom Elliott]

It seems a little odd to me that /opt/fog/snapins doesn’t exist at this point. Are you fresh installing?

And yes, update to 2890.

[Chris Shanks]

I have been fresh installing yes, I have always presumed svn can be installed without fog as a precursor?

[Tom Elliott]

Yes it can, I just thought you were upgrading on a prior successful install. If it’s fresh and waiting for the DB Schema, the reason /opt/fog doesn’t exist (or /opt/fog/snapins for that matter) is simply because it hasn’t ever been installed yet. Just useful to know what’s going on. Sorry about my failure.

[Chris Shanks]

No need to apologise at all, fog is an amazing tool far more complicated than I could ever dream of! I am fascinated by it and would always help anyway I can. Slightly star struck that it is always you that comes to the rescue whenever I manage to break it given you appear to be so influential over the development of the svn.

On other news when i stop fan-girling, have just checked out to svn 2890 - fresh install worked fine including the database scheme install update.

[Tom Elliott]

Nice, glad that you helped me find a bug and correct it.

[Chris Shanks]

You’re welcome Mr Tom. Until next time…

Dear Tom,

[COLOR=#000000]I hope you don’t mind me free riding on the back of this thread. You were helping me with the thread[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000]“[URL=‘http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/updated-from-32-to-1-1-0-to-1-1-2-to-1-2-0-user-login-hist-page-blank.11301/unread’][COLOR=#000000]Updated from .32 to 1.1.0 to 1.1.2 to 1.2.0 - User Login Hist page blank” and one proposal was to upgrade to the SVN trunk. I took this option (I can always go back if needed)[/COLOR][/URL][/COLOR]

For other readers, the system is openSuSe.

Following your advice in the other thread, I have upgraded to SVN 2890. The install is fresh (not on top of an old version). I have also removed the database.
I step through the install and when I get to:

[I]This can be done by opening a web browser and going to:[/I]
[I] [url]http://10.1.2.253/fog/management[/url][/I]
[I] Press [Enter] key when database is updated/installed.[/I]

I duly go there and sit and wait and look at a blank page, which remains blank.
To be clear, I understood that Chris saw something before the blank page. I do not see anything. Immediately blank.
Up to then, the install appears to go without problems.

Here are the log files:

Do you have any ideas what is causing this blank page?

Thanks!

BTW - yes SuSe does have selinux.

I don’t mind you piggy backing Alasdair, but what confounds me most on your particular setup is the white page all around. it’s almost like it can’t communicate with the mysql server to begin with. And firewall of some sort is blocking anything being displayed on the browser.

[Tom Elliott]

Also, on your access log I see error code 302 (Page moved) are you using apache redirects?

[Alasdair Hatfield]

Hello Tom,

The mysql access log suggests to me that attempts are being made to access the db server but something seems strange. The first query
[QUOTE]SELECT vValue FROM schemaVersion LIMIT 1[/QUOTE]
(after the SET statement)
seems to assume that a db already exists with tables.

Could it be that something in my installation is broken (probably by me) whereby the build up of the db ‘jumps in’ part way through instead of at the beginning with a ‘create database …’? Strange I know but I can’t explain the first entries in the log in another way. Should I be looking in schema.php for this?

I flushed the logs and then started the installation. I then posted the entire logs above.

The firewall should be completely down but I will check this again.

Error 302 is a puzzle. I am not using redirects. The Apache installation / configuration is about as simple as it can be. This is only on a test PC, not on an active server.
I will also flush the cache of the browser to be sure it isn’t carrying anything over.
What I do see in the browser (where one types an url in) is that
[QUOTE][url]http://localhost/fog/management[/url][/QUOTE]
does move itself on to
[QUOTE]/fog/management/?node=schemaupdater[/QUOTE]

I’ll keep searching

Alasdair

[Tom Elliott]

it should be moving to fog/management/index.php?node=schemaupdater

Why it’s removing the index.php part is a puzzle.

[Alasdair Hatfield]

Dear Tom,

I can close this problem. Thanks for the support!

What I’ve done or learnt -

I’ve upgraded to svn 2906 just to be sure I have the latest and greatest.
I rechecked everything I had to patch to get it going on a SuSe platform. Although I didn’t find anything, Doing it again, I might have missed out a mistake I made last time.

I’ve found that if I enter
[QUOTE][url]http://localhost/fog/management/index.php[/url][/QUOTE]
then the redirect keeps the 'index.php
but if I enter
[QUOTE][url]http://localhost/fog/management[/url][/QUOTE]
then the redirect follows
However, this doesn’t appear to be a problem as the redirect now works and I get the page I expect.

I found that the new version needs me to enter the PHP SSL extension otherwise I get the error
[QUOTE]PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function openssl_pkey_new() in /srv/www/htdocs/fog/lib/fog/FOGCore.class.php on line 522[/QUOTE]
in the apache error_log.

Installing this extension required me to restart the apache server.

Upon retrying, it all burst into life

Thanks again.

Onto the next challenge.
Alasdair
