      @moses well, you can copy the /var/lib/mysql and place it on your system.

      You won’t have to do anything special really.

      Just copy the image, /opt/fog, /var/lib/mysql, and rerun the installer (to make sure things are somewhat fresher and more stable I suppose).

      That means you don’t have to do any other work as the mysql will still be there.

      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

      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)

        @Tom-Elliott Should I copy /var/lib/mysql/ to the new system before or after FOG is installed there? I’m assuming after.

          I agree with Tom, I’ve been thinking about this thread since you posted.

          There could be a lot of things you could do, or none. If the HDD bit the dust, you are out of luck. If it’s a simple kernel issue due to updating, all you have to do is pick the old kernel when the system is booting. You can also boot into recovery mode and maybe check free space.

          There is no replacement for many backups. I keep snapshots, manual copies of my images, many copies of my database, and I try to hold onto the built-in backups that FOG Trunk makes as well.

            @Wayne-Workman The HDD is good, but none of the old kernels or the recovery kernel work. It hangs on boot indefinitely.

              @moses take the HDD out and try it in another system.

                @moses I would say install mysql manually, stop mysql service, copy over the old /var/lib/mysql, start the service.

                If you had any special things from the mysql config before, copy over the old (/etc/mysql/my.cnf – debian based, or /etc/my.cnf – redhat based) to the new as well before starting the service.

                  @Tom-Elliott That did the trick! FOG is installed again and running fine again.

                  One issue I noticed is the bandwidth graph is gone on the home page. The http://fogserver/status/bandwidth.php page seems to be missing.

                      Shouldn’t that be http://fogserver/fog/status/bandwidth.php??

                        @Sebastian-Roth Oh, I’m silly. You are correct. That page returns:

                        {"dev":"unknown","rx":0,"tx":0}
                        

                        I can confirm that the interface is set correct in storage nodes for this server, if that’s related.
