WOL problem since upgrade 1.2

[A Former User]

Hi, i just migrate from 0.32 to 1.2 the migration goes well no error, but since then the wake on lan doesn’t work the log show no errors :
[01-16-15 12:01:40 pm] * 1 active task(s) awaiting check-in sending WOL request(s).
[01-16-15 12:02:00 pm] - Host: mycomputer WOL sent using MAC: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
[01-16-15 12:02:00 pm] * No tasks found!
[01-16-15 12:03:00 pm] * 1 active task(s) awaiting check-in sending WOL request(s)
but nothing happens, any ideas that i can try ?

thanks for any help

Is the system you’re attempting to WOL have WOL enabled? I’m sure it does but always good to double check.

The other thing to verify. When you were on 0.32, did you guys use a customization in your environment to get WOL working in the first place? If it’s not working under 1.2.0, I’m guess a base install of 0.32 would also show the same problems. Only difference in 0.32 and 1.2.0 is the rewrite is using direct sockets to pass the information, which I have tested multiple times and it does operate.

One way to see if things are working would be to go to, from the browser:

[url]http://<IP.OF.FOG.SRV>/fog/wol/wol.php?wakeonlan=<MACofClientToWakeWithColons>[/url]

Does the system startup? Or does it not do anything? The other thing to verify is that the system is on the same subnet (layer 2) of your FOG Server or ensure your switches are setup to enable passing of this information. If you cannot do this, you could install SVN FOG and test some of the features. I’ve created a plugin called WOLBroadcast, which all you do is put in all your network Broadcast address (10.51.255.255, 10.77.255.255, 192.168.5.255) and when WOL is operating, it will send the packets to all of the listed broadcast addresses.

Hi, thanks for your reply, yes the wol is ok on the computer.
if i try the url with [URL=‘http://%3Cip.of.fog.srv%3E/fog/wol/wol.php?wakeonlan=%3CMACofClientToWakeWithColons%3E’]http://<IP.OF.FOG.SRV>/fog/wol/wol.php?wakeonlan=<MACofClientToWakeWithColons>[/URL]
the computer startup correctly.
The fog and the computers are on the same subnet.
any ideas ?
thanks

i have look at the error log and there seem to be some problems :

i have seen a post with similar problem but i have not found the solution for me
the fog wol settings is : /fog/wol/wol.php
the FOG_WOL_INTERFACE : eth0 (that’s ok too)
and the F[FONT=Ubuntu][COLOR=#555555]OG_WOL_HOST is correct[/COLOR][/FONT]

In FOG Configuration->FOG Settings

General Settings->FOG_WOL_PATH

It should be:

/fog/wol/wol.php

[A Former User]

yes it is /fog/wol/wol.php
those error as strange as the /var/www/fog/commons/base.inc.php exist
and the path for my wol is /fog/wol/wol.php so i don’t understand why those two errors.

also i have try many wake on lan and sometimes there is no error on the error_log (but that does not work either)

i have try again 4-5 wake on lan no error on error_log but nothing happen
is there a way to debug to see where the problem is ?
thanks

The base.inc.php isn’t really that, it’s searching for the base.inc.php in /usr/share/php (which does not exist on ubuntu) and can’t find the file there. So it spits out an error that really isn’t necessary or show stopping.

The errors about the [code][Fri Jan 16 13:24:22.319934 2015] [:error] [pid 26227] [client 10.70.48.119:59685] script ‘/var/www/html/fog/wol.php’ not found or unable to stat

Loos to me like you were trying different methods to get to the file, all of which do not exist.

These aren’t being repeated all over the place though, which is what’s leading me to think it was you trying to go to the link, and it found those errors.

[A Former User]

You are right these errors come when i try the url [URL=‘http://%3Cip.of.fog.srv%3E/fog/wol/wol.php?wakeonlan=%3CMACofClientToWakeWithColons%3E’]http://<IP.OF.FOG.SRV>/fog/wol/wol.php?wakeonlan=<MACofClientToWakeWithColons>[/URL] i made mistake and type [URL=‘http://%3Cip.of.fog.srv%3E/fog/wol/wol.php?wakeonlan=%3CMACofClientToWakeWithColons%3E’]http://<IP.OF.FOG.SRV>/fog[/URL]/wol.php
the error come from here.

So my wol seem to be well configured (no error in error_log) but still nothings happen when i try to upload/download/wake on lan etc

what else can i try ?
thank you

is the new install of 1.2.0 on the same computer/subnet/IP as the 0.32 server was?
could there be networking details that were not reconfigured for the new server, such as forwarding?

[A Former User]

Yes all is the same i have made an upgrade the networking hasn’t changed.

Hi, tu resume :
[URL=‘http://fogproject.org/fog/wol/wol.php?wakeonlan=<MACofClientToWakeWithColons>’][U][COLOR=#0066cc]http://<IP.OF.FOG.SRV>/fog/wol/wol.php?[/COLOR][/U][/URL] > working
upload/download/wake up task > not working (i mean wake on lan no working)
/var/log/apache2/error.log > no error
the fog wol settings is : /fog/wol/wol.php
the FOG_WOL_INTERFACE : eth0 (that’s ok too)
and the F[FONT=Ubuntu][COLOR=#555555]OG_WOL_HOST is correct[/COLOR][/FONT]

all seems ok but it doesn’t work, what else can i check ? if the url with /fog/wol is working that mean the problem is in the web server when it launch the command no ?
thanks for any help.

[Junkhacker]

if the wol task is not working automatically, but works for the same host when done manually from the url, and all of the settings are correct, i don’t know what could possibly be wrong
