      OK. Small glitch. Because I’m using CentOS 7, I’m using MariaDB. I’ve made the same modification indicated in the instruction below to get past the SQL installation failure, but it’s still bombing out. Suggestions?

      Thanks!

        For the record, I’ve gone through this before.

        We used Ghost prior to FOG. I deployed our Ghost images one by one, updating them, and then taking new FOG images.

        And, without the developmental versions, FOG wouldn’t work in my environment.

        I haven’t gone back. 🙂

        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!

          We need specifics. What errors, exactly?

            Sorry. It looks lime I’m running into an issue with 1.3.0 requiring some specific MySQL components that MariaDB is not providing… I’ve attached the shell capture.

            Can you tell me about your process moving your ghost images to fog? If there’s something that I can do to each machine in order to migrate the images, I’m happy to do that.

            Some sort of work around?

            Thanks for all the assistance!

              Is there a particular reason you chose CentOS to install FOG on? I’m not bashing or anything, it’s just that probably a lot of us are unfamiliar with it…
              I myself use Fedora, most FOG users use Ubuntu.

              What version of Apache do you have installed? [url]http://nixcraft.com/showthread.php/15187-Find-apache-version-linux[/url]

              Also, this MAY or MAY NOT solve your issue…

                The easiest (and probably only) way to migrate a Ghost image to a FOG image is to deploy the ghost image to the target hardware, boot it up a few times to make sure everything is good, and then take a FOG image from it.

                A side note is that you are using re-sizable disks… I’ve never used that option. I always use “Multiple partition, single disk, not resizeable” and under partitions, I choose “Everything”

                I recommend 7 for your compression setting.

                  I’m an old school redhat guy that came up through RedHat 4 in the 90s through the switch to RHEL and CentOS to save on costs but still support corporate software requirements. It was just easier to keep up with one distro over 20 years…

                    The different discussions I’ve read seemed to point towards using Single Disk resizable for Windows 7. I’m obviously open to changing that. Especially if it will fix my problem for the previously ghosted partitions.

                    If you’re doing “not resizeable” how do you combat the issue of different hard drive sizes?

                    Thanks!

                      … Our hard drives are not different sizes. 🙂

                      I maintain an image for each model that we have, and we don’t mix-match computers in our labs.

                        Under the “Partitions” option, are you choosing “Everything” ??

                        That’d explain your blinky cursor if it were not correct.

                          If your not running SVN running fixparts on the pc before uploading may fix your issue.
