Backing up database.........................................failed

[Tom Elliott]

@plegrand Do you have a mysql password?

[plegrand]

No, during first installation the installer didnt “put” password

[Tom Elliott]

@plegrand can you update and try again?

I just added a checker to only pass the password if the password field has any real viable data.

@george1421 I found a solution adding this line in my .wgetrc
no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,192.168.39.243

my .wgetrc become :
http_proxy = http://my.cache.fr:3128/
https_proxy = http://my.cache.fr:3128/
use_proxy = on
no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,192.168.39.243

But it stay very strange because i didn’t have this problem before

[plegrand]

@Tom-Elliott i remove my wgetrc config ?

[Tom Elliott]

No, I didn’t know you had proxy.

Backing up database has only been in for the last 50 or 100 commits, so my guess is this was always a problem, but you didn’t know about it until i actually added backup code to the installer.

[plegrand]

@Tom-Elliott Then i can confirm that it’s a proxy setting.
With your las commit without the wgetrc configuration it failed again.
I have to add this line to make it works :
no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,192.168.39.243

Then it works fine with this wget configuration :
.wgetrc
http_proxy = http://my.cache.fr:3128/
https_proxy = http://my.cache.fr:3128/
use_proxy = on
no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,192.168.39.243

The reason why I asked about he proxy server is I ran into the same problem, documented here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6062/svn-5221-failing-to-install-on-fog-server-using-proxy-server

The line you added to wgetrc may or may not work [no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,192.168.39.243]. I ended up exporting those statements in bashrc. It may not matter where the command is put.

This is what I put at the end of the bashrc file.
export http_proxy=http://192.168.1.110:3128
export https_proxy=http://192.168.1.110:3128
export ftp_proxy=http://192.168.1.110:3128
export no_proxy=“192.168.1.88”

The issue (not really a problem, just the way it works) is the install scripts uses wget to connect back to the IP address of the FOG server to dump the database data. wget gets a little confused and tries to contact the proxy server to contact the FOG server. At least in my environment this fails causing the backup to fail.

@george1421 Same problem here but now it works
thanks for your help

Great that you worked it out. I think this is pretty normal and actually expected behavior. If you configure wget to use a proxy server it will do so whatever URL you are trying to request!! To exclude some URL (like local ones) is a pretty common configuration. That’s fine!
