Unable to access Fog server management settings

Wayne,
I ran sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade earlier. Is that the same as what you are proposing? -
@Digital Dog,
Yes that’s what he was implying I think. Make sure the OS is updated/upgraded to the latest stuff available. It’s just odd that your’s is the first I’ve heard of not being able to install php5-gd.

He did say he was using the non-GUI version… that is different. Think that might have something to do with it?
-
Well, if it was going to happen to anyone it would be me.

i never use the GUI version for servers
-
I don’t have to use the non-GUI version. I chose it because that’s what the prior server had on it. You think it would be helpful to try the GUI version?
-
GUI Aside,
The issue you’re reporting where php5-gd is not being able to be installed is strange to me.
-
my point regarding the fact that i use a non-GUI version was simply to say that it shouldn’t be an issue.

Could any of this be hardware related?

quick tip from another command line noob I use ssh to connect to my server from a windows box via putty anything I highlight with my mouse is in my paste buffer then I just copy it into my post directly or to a txt file also if you copy a command string from a windows post you can right click and past it directly to your command line.

Digital Dog,
I’d like to point out that you don’t need to follow the previous guy’s documentation to a “T”. The FOG WiKi has lots of well written tutorials for installing FOG on many major flavors of Linux. Although I use Fedora myself, the most easy best is probably Ubuntu.
If you currently don’t have a working FOG box, there’s not a lot to loose… Have you recovered the old images? Keep the old documentation, just in case there’s any custom & wild configurations that are necessary in your environment.
That’s just my suggestion… Only because you’ve stumped people with this problem… Wipe and start new, don’t spend unnecessary time trying to fix some crazy problem that nobody has seen before.
And of course, we’re here to help you when you need it.

I was able to get the FOG software successfully installed, and am now able to connect to FOG manager. Thanks to all for your assistance.
