      @ciranodd In the installer error log I only see one major issue. The package ‘php-gettext’ is not being installed because it’s called ‘php5-gettext’ in the installer. Looking at the debian, ubuntu and ondrej package lists I only find ‘php-gettext’. I am sure @Tom-Elliott will fix this soon. But you can install it yourself as well sudo apt-get install php-gettext

      Now about your original question. From what it looks like in the error log mysql-server was already installed on your system. That’s not an issue but I wonder if you set a MySQL root password some time ago (not linux system user root! That’s two totally different things!). Possibly you cannot remember it? The installer asks you for the MySQL password. Before running the installer you can test logging into your DB via mysql --host=127.0.0.1 --user=root -p. See if you know the correct password (most probably it’s not empty). If you have the correct MySQL root password edit /opt/fog/.fogsettings (snmysqlpass='...') and re-run the installer!

      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

        @Sebastian-Roth Edited to keep from trying to install the version.

        I have a hard time with ubuntu because almost ALL of the php packages are installed using php{MAJversion}-<packageToInstall> but just this ONE package is plain? WTF. I know not your fault, but i have made the corrections as suggested.

          @Tom-Elliott I don’t really know why they have php-gettext but this is true for debian as well…

              Hi Sebastian,

              Thanks for the help.

              Indeed i assume my issue is MYSQL for the kind of error msg i’ve been getting.

              • This was a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04. No MYSQL as far as i know unless in this version it is installed by default

              • I was asked to type a MYSQL password for the root user while installing FOG. (Nothing)

              • I saw in some post that entering a password for MYSQL root user may bring problems and
                leave it blank. I am not a linux expert but any root user without password its a big no no !! but just for testing. (Nothing )

              • i tried to edit this /opt/fog/.fogsettings (snmysqlpass=‘…’) but i dont see it anywhare i can get into /opt/fog/ but its empty.

              #Not exactly sure if it makes any difference but i ran the installed as a SUDO user and not as ROOT which is what i’ve done in the past.

              At the moment i am re-doing everything from zero on a different hard drive, but this time i will run the installer as root. Not sure if it makes any difference, but worth to try.

              Very much appreciated for your time !!!

                • installer can be run from a root shell (sudo su - / sudo -i) or as sudo ./installfog.sh - should both work fine!
                • leaving the mysql root pw blank should work with FOG as well as setting a password - just needs to be the same
                • /opt/fog/.fogsettings should be created when the installer runs all the way through - from the error log file you posted it looks like it should have created the .fogsettings file (try ls -al /opt/fog/ to see hidden files as well!)
                • And you can take a look at the mysql connection settings in /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/config.class.php - will be overwritten if you run the installer again!

                Can you please post a screenshot of the “Access denied for user…” error?!

                    @ciranodd Usually the MySQL root user has full access rights if you don’t actively restrict (I am sure you didn’t). As I can see in the .fogsettings file there is a password set. But from the screenshot we see that no password was used to connect to the DB. Have you re-run the installer after setting the password in .fogsettings? Please check /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/config.class.php to see if the settings match! As well try to connect to your DB via the MySQL command line client to see if the DB is running and connection data is correct: mysql --user=root -p (try mysql command show databases; for example and exit to close)

                      Again gents thanks !!!

                      I am down to GRANT root USER the right privileges I THINK !!!

                      Also i ran into a problem when running what you suggested mysql --user=root -p (Please see attachment fixed ) hopefully it helps someone else.

                      Just for convenience i install Webmin !!!

                      2_1458766852050_WebminMYSQL.JPG 1_1458766852050_rootMysqlPriviledges.JPG 0_1458766852050_ERROR 2002 (HY000)-FOG SERVER MYSQL FIX.txt

                      I still can’t grant the right privileges to root user for localhost. I tried even running mysql install again (keeping the same mysql root pass i’ve been using )but nothing.

                        @ciranodd At this point, you haven’t done, gained, or lost anythign.

                        Why not completely remove mysql/mariad and reinstall??

                        sudo apt-get --purge mysql*
                        rm -rf /var/lib/mysql
                        sudo apt-get install mysql mysql-server
                        

                        Of course if you have data to backup, backup first?

                          @ciranodd You might be running into this old and know ubuntu mysql issue: https://github.com/fogproject/fogproject/issues/1

                          I wonder why root@localhost only has “select table data” permission according to what we see in webmin… I am sure someone modified the DB. Probably Tom’s suggestion on removing the DB and starting from scratch is not bad I suppose.

                              !!! SUCCESS !!!

                              Hi Tom,

                              this is a fresh install, i have another Fog server fully functional. I am just trying to do another one from zero. NO need to backup anything.!!!

                              i had a an error running sudo apt-get --purge mysql* so i tried

                              apt-get purge mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common mysql-server-core-5.5 mysql-client-core-5.5

                              rm -rf /etc/mysql /var/lib/mysql

                              apt-get autoremove

                              apt-get autoclean

                              then i ran

                              #apt-get install mysql-server

                              then check the Privileges and still root@localhost still has “select table data” only !!!

                              i tried resetting MYSQL - Got an error…
                              Well a good completed restart of my Ubuntu box will not hurt.

                              I tried checking the privileges but i couldn’t log in to MYSQL !!!

                              ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2)

                              Thankfully i had that problem before and from my notes i fixed it (the file i sent you guys before ERROR 2002)

                              reset MYSQL

                              /etc/init.d/mysql restart

                              AND NOW I DO HAVE ----- GRANT_PRIVI ---- for root@localhost

                              Oh man !!!

                              Not sure what happened, but i had to remove the mysql which i thoght i had done a couple of times but i wasn’t doing it right than do a manual install mysql server

                              It was never fog it was MYSQL0_1458772189713_rootMysqlPriviledgesYES.JPG

                              Thanks a lot guys !!! Hope this helps someone in the future !!!

                                @ciranodd I don’t understand why you are having so many problems. With Ubuntu, After Ubuntu is installed, you just checkout a copy of fog trunk and then run the installer. that’s it.

                                    Hi,

                                    @Wayne-Workman @ciranodd we have the same issue too on Debian 8. No Mysql (fresh install), just installed with FOG trunk. If we don’t put a MySQL password (empty password) at the install, there are no problems. If we put a password, the error “Access denied for user ‘root’ @ ’ localhost ’ (Using password : NO ) #tried YES” occurs when we want to install/upgrade database (same on the capture from ciranodd).

                                    Or else, if password put, we have to change manually rights for root account on mysql.

                                      @MagicLink A database password for the root user must be setup by you or the administrator for there to BE a password set in the first place.

                                      In older times, Ubuntu/Debian would ask you to supply a password, but I removed this requirement because redhat variants never gave this opportunity during the installation process. In trying to commonize the functions, I was able to get mysql to be installed in much the same methodology as Redhat based OS’s under Debian/Ubuntu variants.

                                      When it asks you for the password, it asks you “Did you set a password for mysql?” It is not the opportunity for you to set one.

                                      This is to be expected.

                                          Hi Guys,

                                          Didn’t wanted to bother anyone again since we solved the problem. But indeed as @MagicLink said when entering a password during fog installation gave me the issue again (I had to prepared a backed server in case this one goes bad), however all i had to do was make sure MYSQL was running correctly (ran into the same problem, but i had a fixed !!!) 0_1459315888568_ERROR 2002 (HY000)-FOG SERVER MYSQL FIX.txt

                                          Then make sure that the both configuration files match the inf you entered during the installation
                                          /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/config.class.php
                                          /opt/fog/.fogsettings
                                          and DONE.

                                          ps,

                                          Not sure what i did wrong but when i re-ran the install the LOCALHOST in the config file /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/config.class.php was changed to the IP i gave my server instead of the “localhost”

                                          Just change changed it to “localhost” and DONE !!!

                                          Lesson !!!

                                          Always make sure your config file is setup correctly !!!

                                          Regards Gents !!!
