Error when creating capture/deploy task

darius · Mar 5, 2016, 6:51 PM

Hi
I am new to FOG, I first installed FOG 1.2 and it worked great!

I have now installed FOG 6563 on Ubuntu 14.04
When I try to create a capture or deploy task instant, I get the following error

The website encountered an error while retrieving http://172.16.0.10/fog/management/index.php?node=host&sub=deploy&sub=deploy&type=2&id=1. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.

Creating the task as delayed works fine. Creating advanced actions also works great.

In the apache error log I get the following error:
[Sat Mar 05 19:47:10.368432 2016] [:error] [pid 21132] [client 172.16.0.250:54091] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function isValid() on null in /var/www/fog/lib/fog/host.class.php on line 547, referer: http://172.16.0.10/fog/management/index.php?node=host&sub=deploy&sub=deploy&type=2&id=1

At first I upgraded from 1.2 to 6563 and got the same error. the I did a fresh install of Ubuntu and installed 6563. same problem.
Can somebody help?

The error should be fixed, but your still going to run into a problem. You need to ensure your image is associated to a storage group.

This means, selecting your image, then click on Storage Groups, it will show one being defined but this is solely so you can actually edit the image.

Thanks for taking the time to answer @Tom-Elliott

What do you mean? Is this a known error that you are going to fix? But I will still have this problem.

You need to ensure your image is associated to a storage group.

I did not understand this, I choose the “default” storage group by cliking on it, that did now work. Do I need to at a new group?

What I mean by this is the error will not give you a blank page, but it could’ve still caused an issue in generating the task.

If you added the image to the storage group you should be fine.

Adding the storage group to the image didn’t make any difference. Any other suggestions?

Tom Elliott · Mar 5, 2016, 9:40 PM

@darius How didn’t it make any difference? Are you still seeing the same error or is it presenting another error?

darius · Mar 5, 2016, 9:47 PM

@Tom-Elliott I get the same error

Tom Elliott · Mar 5, 2016, 9:49 PM

@darius Then do me a favor.

Run:

sudo rm -rf /var/www/fog
sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/fog
sudo ln -s /var/www/html/fog /var/www/fog

Then rerun the installer.

darius · Mar 5, 2016, 4:15 PM

@Tom-Elliott

Deleted the directories and installed again. same error when trying to capture.

I run the installer with sudo. I read the manual again, and stated that i need to run the installer with root. Can it be a permission issue?

@darius What’s in the apache error logs?

Are you sure you’re updating the trunk folder? Does it show the proper version in the cloud? What is in the cloud?

darius · Mar 5, 2016, 4:43 PM

@Tom-Elliott thanks for your patience

Not sure what a trunk folder is (im new to fog) but in the cloud is “FOG 6563”

How did you install fog?

Sebastian Roth · Mar 6, 2016, 5:37 PM

@darius Welcome to the forums. As you seam to be new I’ll give you a quick rundown on how things work with FOG trunk. Thanks a lot for letting us know about the error. This is very helpful! Tom found the issue and fixed it in the source code. So you need to “update” your local copy of the source code to see Tom’s change as well.

I guess you used svn or git command to checkout the FOG trunk code. Then you ran the installer. To update your local copy of FOG change to the folder (cd /fog/code/directory) and run svn up or git pull (depending on what you used earlier). Then run the installer again!

darius · Mar 6, 2016, 5:37 PM

@Sebastian-Roth Updatet to 6597 from Git and Success! thanks to @Tom-Elliott for all the help and for fixing the code!

Looking forward to the final release. I Have one lab with 98 computers at work that need to be re imaged alot. Looking forwarded to trying out FOG there
