      Just noticed that my FOG management login page has several lines of gibberish at the bottom (see attached image). Don’t think that was there when things were working.

        they probably weren’t but I don’t think that’s what’s causing the issue.

          So, I’m going to assume that since you’re asking for help here, you don’t have this FOG server virtualized, and don’t have a snapshot of it when it was working?

            Unfortunately, no. It’s on a real server.

                Well, when you say you’ve “got a lot more invested in it this time and don’t want to re-install”, what do you mean?

                Do you have your database backed up? Can you just log into the FOG server and back it up manually? Can you copy your images from it to a different location?

                You could do a rebuild if you could get your database & images backed up. I believe that importing a database is straight forward. After that’s done, you’d just place the images where they should go.

                I’ve found this in the WiKi: [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Restoring_FOG_from_Backup[/url]

                If you’re confident with it, it might be the way to go. Esp. since it seems like only the Web login is broken.

                Also, for the record, I would advise anyone to virtualize their FOG server. Mine’s running in Hyper-V, and I take snap shots before any major change. It’s a safety net.

                  I can still WebMin into the box so I could definitely back up everything. Plus I’ve got Samba running so I can easily grab the images. However, this is the second time this has happened. I’d rather find the root cause instead of re-installing (or going back to a snapshot if I virtualize) if this happens again.

                    First,

                    what’s in the error logs?

                    As you’re running 12.04 and Ubuntu, can you check if there’s a permissions error in the /var/lib/php5/sessions folder?

                          I attached both my Apache error and access logs in a previous post. Do you see anything in them that would indicate a problem?

                          As you can see from the screen shot in my last post there isn’t a sessions folder in /var/lib/php5/, only a bunch of files (session files?). Is that a problem?

                            Session filenames look alright I’d say. But why are there three files owned by root I wonder AND why are all these files of zero size? Is that really the case? Please run ‘ls -al /var/lib/php5’ on the console on the FOG server. Check the permissions.

                            Can’t see any related error in the log files you posted (doesn’t mean much)!

                                      Tried that once from Webmin; just did it again from the terminal. Still seeing the same behavior.

                                            Try this:

                                            [code]sudo service apache2 stop;sudo rm -rf /var/lib/php5/sess_*; sudo service apache2 start;[/code]

                                            Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

                                            Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                                            Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG
