Install/update your database - blank white page

[ManofValor]

@Tom-Elliott I’m on centos BTW, not sure if that matters on the command.

[root@localhost fogadmin]# tail -100 /var/log/apache2/error.log
tail: cannot open ‘/var/log/apache2/error.log’ for reading: No such file or directory
[root@localhost fogadmin]# tail -100 /var/log/httpd/error.logtail: cannot open ‘/var/log/httpd/error.log’ for reading: No such file or directory
[root@localhost fogadmin]#

@ManofValor As Tom said: tail -100 /var/log/httpd/error_log (for RedHat based systems like CentOS)

[ManofValor]

@Sebastian-Roth I did both as you can see.

[ManofValor]

Not sure what I did wrong but:

[root@localhost fogadmin]# tail -100 /var/log/httpd/error_log

@ManofValor error_log is much different from error.log

[ManofValor]

@Tom-Elliott Oops…

[Tom Elliott]

@ManofValor So now that you know how to tail the log, can you “get the blank page” while tailing the log and get us some output?

[ManofValor]

@Tom-Elliott Well this time I got the right screen but when I clicked on Install/Update I got this:

and it just kept going

[ManofValor]

Log gave me a bunch of these;

@ManofValor See it written… “Access denied”. FOG is not able to login to the database. Either the database is not running (ps ax | grep mysql) or your password is screwed: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_MySQL

[ManofValor]

Ok, I tried fog install again and got through all that, thought I put a password for mysql but didn’t, but I got another error. I’ll see if I can figure it out, if not i’ll start another post. Thanks guys.

[Sebastian Roth]

@ManofValor Tom probably found the issue and fixed the code. Can you please upgrade again and see if it works?

[ManofValor]

@Sebastian-Roth Upgrade fog or system upgrade?

[Tom Elliott]

@ManofValor upgrade fog.

[ManofValor]

@Tom-Elliott Should be version 4888, right?

[ManofValor]

[root@localhost bin]# svn up
Updating '.':
At revision 4888.

[Tom Elliott]

@ManofValor you’re in the bin directory you need to go up one directory and run the svn up command then go back to bin and reinstall.

[ManofValor]

@Tom-Elliott oh right, thank you.

[ManofValor]

Just got the same exact output.

[root@localhost trunk]# svn up
Updating '.':
At revision 4888.
[root@localhost trunk]# 

[Tom Elliott]

@ManofValor Have you rerun the installer?
