FOG Inventory Blank

[Wayne Workman]

@Scott-B Are the apache errors the same or have they changed?

Can you run this command before you do the export, and then export while watching the output of the command?

tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log

Done. Those errors don’t match up with the workstation I’m using so they are errors from something other then the inventory?

The apache errors are gone with SVN 5313, but the report is still blank. The hosts do show up when you click on inventory, before choosing csv or pdf so at least the data is there. Same for just doing a hosts report.

@Scott-B are there any error logs in regards to the blank page? My guess is memory?

@Scott-B I’m going to try my best to reach out tomorrow if that’s okay so I can teamviewer in to try to figure out what’s going on.

That would be great, thanks!

I wanted to post an update to this topic. As suggested it seems it was a memory issue in regards to just the white page. I was seeing errors similar to the one below in my apache log.

[Tue Nov 17 09:59:55.127379 2015] [:error] [pid 14071] [client xx.xx.xx.xx.xx:60299] PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 1073741824 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 339292729 bytes) in /var/www/fog/commons/init.php on line 175

So I upped the amount of memory and time PHP is allowed to use. After doing so I was able to run the inventory report (as well ask config save), but there is always a catch. The report has several hundred rows of “\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\…” and some of the rows are shifted one row to the left. My fear this is or will create a corrupt DB.

If I watch the apache logs I am still getting the errors below.

@Scott-B Just get rid of those…

Backup your DB first. FOG Configuration -> Configuration Save -> Export

For an individual:

update inventory set iOtherTag='' where iID=1972;

For everything:

update inventory set iOtherTag='' where iOtherTag like '%\\\\\\\\\\\\\\%';

Thank you, that cleaned up the list very well.
