Fedora 23 can't install fog

[Matt Derrick]

I am trying to build a new fog server and having some issues. I installed Fedora 23 and run through the fog guide here: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Fedora_23_Server
All is ok until I start installing fog. I get to the following error: *Checking package: php-mysqlnd…Failed!
I have checked to make sure that php is working on the apache install. php version is: 5.6.19. I have tried uninstalling php and reinstalling but it did not get any further. Any guidance on next step?

I think you may need to install the remi repository manually again

rpm -Uhv http://rpms.famillecollet.com/fedora/remi-release-23.rpm
rpm --import http://rpms.remirepo.net/RPM-GPG-KEY-remi

Then try running the installer.

That did it.

@Tom-Elliott Would you recommend I add the remi repo steps to the Fedora 21,23, and CentOS7 articles? Or do you think the installer can do this?

[Tom Elliott]

@Wayne-Workman you can add it as a note I suppose but the installer should be able to handle it with little problem. I recoded it to operate as I stated earlier so it should work properly now. Of course only testing would let us know for sure.

@Tom-Elliott I updated earlier at work today (like I do most days) and I did notice that “adding needed repositories” took significantly longer than usual.

But - if that’s what it takes to ensure the remi repo gets installed, then that’s what it takes.
