Fog 1.2 under Ubuntu 14.04 LTS install/upgrade DB schema error
-
Hi,
I am a newbie to fog server so please bear with me as I am not that familar with unix/linux commands. I was able to install FOG 1.2.0 under Ubuntu 14.04 LTS through some tutorials you guys posted. I was able to upload and download images as well without any problems. Since I was running out of space, I tried to increase the virtual disk space (thru vmware). But when I tried to go to my fog web console, I received the notification saying my database schema is not updated. I tried to click on the Install/Upgrade but got multiple errors. (Update ID reached all the way to 113 with errors.
How do I try to fix this without re-installing the whole thing since I already uploaded multiple images to fog? When I try to run the command to backup the database from the ubuntu’s terminal, I get error 2002: can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (111) when trying to connect. My default MySQL password was blank. I tried to locate the said file on /var/run/mysqld and I can see it inside.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

Also make sure the password for mysql is correct.

thanks for the tip. MySQL password was left blank when I installed it initially and haven’t changed it so I’m not sure how to make the password for mysql correct or synchronized. When I tried to restart Mysql service, I got a failure in service start. I was able to backup and copy the ib_logfiles but when I tried to restart mysql, (unknown job/instance)

@greenfog how did you restart MySQL? I notice this on Ubuntu occasionally and the fix for that is to use:
service mysql stop service mysql start -
I used the same command as what you typed in and it kept on saying failed after a few seconds
-
@greenfog is the file system full?
df -h -
still some space left

would it be possible to simply re-install MySQL without affecting the images I was able to successfully upload the first time?

Think I had a similar issue with this the other day on my first restart.
I followed this thread - https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/564935-fog-database-error - the 3rd post by the user “aboushard” fixed the issue I was having.
Assuming you’ve probably found a way around this by now/given up on it though, but the above worked for me if you’re still having issues with that.

You are a lifesaver and this just made my day. Thank you very much for pointing me to that forum.
