FOG Service Client not updating on existing image

[Wayne Workman]

@Jbob just informed me that this error you have is caused by the fog installer downloading the wrong version of the client during installation.

He hinted that it may be due to the roll-back that happened a day/two ago. @Tom-Elliott

@Wayne-Workman What roll back? I did not make a roll back to the system file which keeps track of the client version.

While I did revert some code, I did not do a “roll back” of any files.

@Tom-Elliott no idea, don’t shoot the messenger lol.

Perhaps the .msi wasn’t uploaded when the commit was done. Please don’t think that I have any idea what I am talking about I am just guessing. I was always under the impression that the client files were downloaded form somewhere else and that was done in the background after the server install.

wget https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-client/releases/download/0.9.7/FOGService.msi -O /var/www/html/fog/client/FOGService.msi
chown apache:apache /var/www/html/fog/client/FOGService.msi
chmod 644 /var/www/html/fog/client/FOGService.msi

destination path and owner:group might need altered depending on distribution.

@Wayne-Workman as a workaround that worked like a champ. All I had to do was drop the file in the folder using the command provided. So until repaired others should do this or a form of this.

I guess a question that is still not clear to me is when you ran the install.sh on the current trunk, the installer “should” download the latest client. Did that step complete as expected? Or was there an error saying that needed to manually down it?

IF your fog server sits behind a proxy server you need to update wget (what the installer uses to get the msi) with your proxy server settings.

[Edit] Well if you followed Wayne’s instructions and it worked, then something in the installer or svn trunk is broken. The wget in Wayne’s instructions should have thrown an error if there was a proxy issue [/Edit]

@george1421 I didn’t get any errors when I did the upgrade but he is right after a fresh install it just isn’t there.

Fixed in trunk in that it should be downloading the file properly and this has been confirmed on another thread.
