Latest Development FOG

[jamesb]

On svn 3162 I’m getting messages from machines with the new fog client that fog user service has stopped responding. The service will not allow itself to turn back on. This was working fine until this latest update.

[Tom Elliott]

anything in the c:\fog.log or c:\user<loggedinuser>\fog_user.log?

[jamesb]

At the bottom of my log I have a ‘CommunicationHandler Error: The remote server returned an error: (404) NOT FOUND’. It looks like the AM Update helper killed the service to update the msi file but failed to start the services properly. The very last line states: AM Update Helper Starting Service… and then nothing.

[Tom Elliott]

If you restart the system, does it start operating properly?

[jamesb]

No. After I restart I get the same message that the FOGUserService has stopped working. Windows will not start the service no matter what I try. Nothing further gets updated in my FOG log.

Here is what my apache error log states:

I think I found the reason, or at least part of the reason for this. When I go to download the new client msi file from the fog webpage I get a ‘This Webpage cannot be found’ error from the web browser.

Check to see if the file is actually located @ URL <ipofserver>/fog/client/FOGService.msi

Then check Terminal:/var/www/fog/client/ to see if FOGService.msi exists

Edit: Check your install log. There is an entry specifically for the new client. If it failed then it will not be on your machine and the link will not work.

[jamesb]

I get a not found when looking at <ipofserver>/fog/client/FOGService.msi and when I look in the client folder I only see FOGCrypt.zip FOGPrep.zip and FOGService.zip. No msi files are stored there.

[Wolfbane8653]

Check your install log. There is an entry specifically for the new client. If it failed then it will not be on your machine and the link will not work.

[S]There was an error with r3162’s location of the file. A bit of a mistype.[/S] Tom should be correcting it now. BUT if you wish to force download it please use.
[CODE]sudo wget -O /var/www/fog/client/FOGService.msi https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-client/releases/download/0.7.2/FOGService.msi
[/CODE]

OR

Download from [url]http://github.com/FOGProject/fog-client/releases[/url]

[COLOR=#ff0000]Edit:[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#ff0000]We were using curl method to download from github and some versions of ubuntu don’t install that package by default. This package has been added to the install script (r3163) and downloads of the new client will now work.[/COLOR]

Tom,

I’m noticing on the latest build on 3180 that when you open list all hosts it takes forever to ping. Basically the GUI lags out and you cant do anything. Looking at your past comments on revisions, I saw you were addressing this. Not sure if you were still aware that its still an issue.

Tom,

Installing latest SVN and getting PHP Warning on the install couldn’t fetch mysqli in /var/www/fog/lib/db/MYSQL.class.php on line 90 and 120.

[Tom Elliott]

This isn’t necessarily an issue. If the messages are occurring during the update (and you have a browser open with fog trying to request information, when the services are restarted you will see these messages.

[Ray Zuchowski]

The issue I figured out is it has to do with my SQL password on config class. I have 3 $$$ in my password and normally i have to go into my configclass.php file and change password back when upgrading. I do this before schema update. Once I do this, I can proceed with database schema update and all works fine. So the issue now is in the install script writes to the SQL database during the kernel install before the schema update prompt . At this point, password isn’t changed yet and its throwing that error.
Hope that makes sense.

Ray

[Tom Elliott]

It makes sense, but I have no means to know what your password is going to be and whether or not they’re going to contain technically illegal characters.

One of the way’s to help out I suppose is edit your/opt/fog/.fogsettings file and set the password so it’s escaping the $$$ with something like $$$

[Ray Zuchowski]

When i go to opt/fog/ there is no .fogsettings file.

[Tom Elliott]

can you run ls -lhart on the directory /opt/fog?

[Wolfbane8653]

its a hidden file hence the . in the front of the file name. just do a nano .fogsettings or a vi .fogsettings or your favorite text editor
