/opt/fog/snapins disappearing

[Wayne Workman]

@apathetic_admin Are you uploading a file or not?

[apathetic_admin]

@Wayne-Workman No, just selecting an existing file. This is what caused it to delete all the snapin files before.

@apathetic_admin Small change, try this: https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/pull/82/files

You’re just basically moving the closing } down below the put statement, that way the put never happens either if the filename is blank.

[apathetic_admin]

@Wayne-Workman That seems to have done the trick.

If I select a file to upload, and I select a file that’s already existing, I get the new file uploaded when I update the snapin, but the snapin is configured to use the existing file I selected in the dropdown. That might not be related at all to anything we just did, I just tried it out to see what it’d do.

[Wayne Workman]

@apathetic_admin Awesome. Now, can someone please take a deep breath and try to create a new snapin without a file ?

[apathetic_admin]

@Wayne-Workman I was able to add a new snapin without doing anything but putting a name in and selecting the storage node. I suppose that’s okay though, yeah?

The real question is were existing snapin files deleted again?

@Wayne-Workman I’ve added your code and then I made a bunch of modifications to more appropriately check things.

First, uploaded files – I think – should always supersede the “existing file” chosen. So this is now implemented.

My checks do now verify if the file exists before attempting to delete it. However, most notably, I think, the code will not attempt to even create/edit the source if the snapinfile choices don’t exist (aren’t set). It will ONLY delete the file in the case of the uploaded file, and even then only if the file exists first.

Hopefully this fixes the issues described here and in the other thread.

@Tom-Elliott I Just updated my storage node with the latest SVN to fix the Snapin issue and noticed an error at the end.
It did report that it installed everything correctly and seems to be working but the errors I noticed are

 * Starting FOGScheduler.service Service.......................OK
 * Starting FOGPingHosts.service Service.......................OK
 * Setting up exports file.....................................OK
 * Setting up and starting RPCBind.............................OK
 * Setting up and starting NFS Server..........................OK
sed: -e expression #1, char 76: unknown option to `s'
sed: -e expression #1, char 88: unknown option to `s'

 * Setup complete


 * You still need to setup this node in the fog management
 | portal. You will need the username and password listed
 | below.

 * Management Server URL:

I thought I would reply here as I thought this might be related to the latest fixes?

Cheers!

[apathetic_admin]

@Wayne-Workman Yeah sorry I thought I had mentioned that earlier. They were fine.

[Tom Elliott]

@apathetic_admin This errors should no longer be present and the random deletions are fixed. I’m going to solve the thread.

Sorry for not responding earlier, Yes this is solved. Thanks again for all the hard work @Developers and everyone else.
