Snapin will not start

[jamesb]

I’ve searched through the forums but I don’t believe I’ve seen anybody have this issue, or at least ask about it. Does a user have to be logged into the host machine in order for snapins to install? I have a snapin queued up for install and it won’t go through until I log in. Is there anyway to push snapins when nobody is logged into the machine?

[Junkhacker]

snapins should install no matter whether someone is logged in or not

[jamesb]

Is there any sort of setting that could cause snapins to not work until a user is logged in?

[Junkhacker]

are you running any kind of authentication on your network that requires a valid login to get a network address?

[jamesb]

No. The computers are attached to a domain, but I can easily remote into them before anybody logs into them so they do have network access.

[Junkhacker]

how long have you given the computer to run snapins before you’ve logged in to check on them?
what OS is the client running?
what version of fog are you running?
what does the c:\fog.log file on the client say?

[jamesb]

The OS is windows 7. The fog version is 1.2.0. I’ve changed the config file to check for snapins every 60 seconds. I’ve given the snapin about half an hour to go through but it stays at queued until I log in. Once I log in and look at the log file I don’t see any logs for the snapin client, just the task reboot client.

[Junkhacker]

i recommend editing the config file to increase the log size. just add a few 0’s, the default size is way too small for any real troubleshooting. you could perhaps even try viewing the file connected to the administrative share of the drive so you are not logging in to view it.

[jamesb]

Hmm. For some reason the snapinclient process is set to sleep for the next 372 seconds. I know I changed it to check every 60 seconds in the config file.

[Tom Elliott]

The default file initially starts the checks at a random interval between 307 and 600 seconds. After it starts it will check in at the requested interval. There is a file that does more what you’re expecting somewhere on the forums though

[jamesb]

After the snapinclient module wakes up from it’s sleep the only thing it does is “Attempt to connect to fog server” and then relay the message that “SnapinClient Module is active”. I still have a snapin waiting to be pushed to the machine stuck in queued status.

[jamesb]

I was looking around at some log files within the fog server itself and noticed that apache does have an error in it. This is the error:

php fatal error: require(): failed opening required ‘…/commons/base.inc.php’ (included_path=’ .:/usr/share/php: /usr/share/pear ') in /var/www/fog/service/servicemodule-active.php on line 2

[jamesb]

Could this PHP error effect how the snapins work, or does this error effect another part of fog?

Edit: I can’t seem to upload my error log but here is a copy and past of it.

Is there a solution for this problem? I have the same problem.

[cotec]

same problem here.
fog.log on client-side says:

on server side there are 2 snapins configured and linked to hosts
7-zip and Adobe Reader

[Joe Schmitt]

@cotec, you need to deploy the snapins before the client will run them. Goto your host, select’Basic Tasks -> Advance -> Either Single Snapin or All Snapins .

thanks fot the hint, i thought link the snapin to host/group is all. Okay there must be a task to install - check.

edit: it works - the snapin is installed

edit2: I have configured “Reboot after install” in Adobe Reader Snapin - the PC reboots every 5 Minutes and the Snapin-Deploy-Task won’t kill in Taskmanagement. Its necessary to kill manually?
“Active Snapin Tasks - State: In-Progress” - but it is installed…(?)

[Joe Schmitt]

@cotec , can you post this to a new topic, otherwise it will get buried.
