It’s not necessary, but I think you’d benefit a great deal from it.

@george1421 the owner is fog.root but how do i check the access level?

@Wayne-Workman Isn’t there suppose to be text to the left of /default.ipxe? I just tried on my system and its too fast for me to catch.

Good catch, George. It is supposed to have an address before it.

ls -la will do that for you. it should be -rw-r--r-- 1 fog root

But as Tom said you would be better off upgrading to the trunk. Don’t let the not stable term scare you off.

[Tom Elliott]

@Wayne-Workman No it’s not, not if the user is using FOG 1.2.0.

@george1421 ill do whatever to fix the issue at hand. If you think updating it to trunk will do that, then so be it

I don’t want to lead you on that it will for sure fix your issue. But you will then have a consistent build that we can support. While the 1.2.0 build is still supported I don’t have a 1.2.0 stable system any more to compare your system against. That is the case with most of the Mods here. I have been running the trunk build for almost a year now. My memory of 1.2.0 stable is getting pretty weak these days.

@george1421 ok so how would i upgrade to trunk then? preferably without losing my current configs.

If course make sure you have a solid backup of your FOG server and then follow this post https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_to_trunk

Just for clarity, you made reference to having an older version of FOG installed at your site. What version was that? If it was before 1.2.0 it may be a better idea to spin up a new FOG server instead of upgrading.

[K.Hays]

@george1421 The system has since been removed. I believe it was 0.32, but this fog server is not on the same machine.

[george1421]

@K.Hays OK as long as this was a fresh install of 1.2.0 then you are ok to upgrade.

[K.Hays]

@george1421 ok, Currently doing that now

[K.Hays]

@george1421 * Installing package: php5-json…Failed!

[Wayne Workman]

@K.Hays Look inside the bin directory (where the installfog.sh file is), you will find a error_log directory now. In there, there is an error log with the revision number appended to it. What’s at the bottom of that file?

[george1421]

@Wayne-Workman Just to note this is on ubuntu 12.04 from the OP.

[K.Hays]

@Wayne-Workman 7084

[Wayne Workman]

@K.Hays Right, so your current revision number is 7084, but inside that file are all the redirected outputs from the installation, and the last few lines will have info on the failure.

@Tom-Elliott do you think this error is related to this: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/7085/ubuntu-server-14-dhcp-fails

Also, @K-Hays please try re-running the installer now.
