build 7102 'Backing up database ... failed'

sudburr

So far I’ve tried updating to 7102, 7104 and 7106 on this server and it continues to fail at Backing up database.

My fresh iron build using the same source files and installed identically, works. yargen.

A little help? What has broken on this naughty server?

george1421

Is your FOG server behind a proxy server? I have seen where the fog server is behind a proxy server and you either use the environ variables or update wgetrc with proxy settings. This will cause the backup script to fail.

sudburr

No proxy server. Again, 4/5 worked, but number 5 is not alive.

Hmmm…

I think what I would do on this is look into the /opt/fog/.fogsettings file. That will have the parameters saved by the installer and the password selected for the mysql database. Then try to login to mysql using the FOG SQL password.

with mysql -u fog fog -p
That reads use user fog to connect to the fog database and prompt me for the password.

See if you can get logged into the mysql database. If you get logged in then do something like show tables; to list all of the fog related tables.

[edit] wait this doesn’t work on my fog server. I can’t test it right now I have to run [/edit]

sudburr

Command results:

mysql -u root fog -p
show tables;

@sudburr I’ve been watching this thread and I’ve not had any ideas. The database backups go into /home maybe make sure you have space there. df -h

sudburr

Gigs worth of space.

Wayne Workman

@sudburr partitions, man. partitions… check anyways.

@Wayne-Workman what happens if the destination location does not exist?

Wayne Workman

@george1421 Not sure… I’m sure it exists though.

try updating.

Wayne Workman

Whatever the issue was, it’s fixed in r7118.

Tom Elliott

@Wayne-Workman it was a switch from self to static. In the case of the base class everything needs to be self.

sudburr

Still no love for my original problem on this particular naughty server.

sudburr

So I :

mysql -u root -p
DROP DATABASE fog;
mv /opt/fog /opt/fog.old

Then launched the installer and I’m your uncle.

sudburr

I’m wondering now if the database backup failure was caused by the bloating of the history table like I experienced on another server? hmm …

Too bad I didn’t check for that.
