Ubuntu 15.04 & SVN 3510

Oh whoops. I didn’t see that.
You should show more distress next time, lol.
-
Missed the GONG eh? My age is showing.
Well, I’ve decided to go Debian for any future development/deployment, so Ubuntu is so Windows XP to me now.
-
I actually just realized (because you pointed it out) that it says “GONG” and not “GOING”
lol

Last night, Wayne installed Ubuntu 15.04 and Fedora 22 on a VM.
He allowed me to work on them to test installing fog on them.
Fedora 22 did need a few tweaks to allow FOG to install properly, but the Ubuntu system did NOT need anything done other than what was already done for Debian 8.
Ubuntu 15+
The one thing I did notice, however, was at different points (different times I suppose) packages failed to install at seemingly random time. I believe this is what you were seeing @sudburr
It was extremely odd and made no sense to me. Especially considering things installed flawlessly on Debian.
-
@sudburr Ubuntu is right for desktop, but for a server use a Debian headless

@sudburr I tried building Fog 1.2.0 from the tarball and it failed to create the Fog database in MySQL. I noticed the www directory appears to be correct.
My MySQL installation has a root account with no password, so I’m wondering if there’s still some sort of permission/authentication issue or if the fact that I’m running GnuCash which I configured to use the Innodb engine vs. the MyISAM which the logs seem to indicate FOG is using.Please let me know if you have any advice on what direction I should look first before I start debugging the PHP code used to install the database.
-
@pinaar 1.2.0 won’t run too well on Ubuntu 15.04, if at all. For that, you need FOG Trunk, or to stay with 1.2.0, you should downgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 lts
-
@Wayne-Workman Thx. I installed the trunk via git so I’m at 1.3.X FOG, but now I just get a blank screen when I run the schema update. Probably a buffer overrun of errors. I probed the PHP and got the first error,
Update ID: 1 - 0
Database Error:
Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: NO), Message: Check that database is running
Database SQL:
CREATE DATABASE fog
So, now I know it’s a permissions problem! Or at least that’s the first thing I need to fix! -
@pinaar Sounds like you have a password set on mysql or mysql isn’t running.
See if you can connect to it locally and manually.

@Wayne-Workman I actually created a fog database from MySQL Workbench with no problem, however, I didn’t realize my account doesn’t have a MySQL password, but the mysql and root accounts do and fog was using one of those! So, that’s why there was a permissions problem. I installed the trunk and built it and it worked! I did however, have to comment out the configureMySql call because it wasn’t defined in the trunk. I guess someone removed its definition so it failed because the installation.sh script still called it!
"I’m so happy… " I can now go on with my PXE thing and proceed with the software phase of my new server.
