@cojohnson If you are getting a white (blank) page any time you interact with the fog management GUI then the apache web server has had an error in the php code. Please review the apache error log (for rhel based systems) /var/log/http/error_log for debian based systems (guess) /var/log/apache2/error.log?

also ensure the db is running.

I could not figure it out. Consequently, I reinstalled ubuntu on the master. Is there any way to either transfer the images from one of the Storage nodes back to the master or Turn a storage node into the master?

[george1421]

@cojohnson The easiest method is to just use scp and copy them back to the master node. DON"T make the slave node a slave node to the (blank) master node first or all of your images will be gone.

Once you have all of the images back on the master node, you will have to manually create the image definitions in the database. (another option would have been to export the image defintions before you rebuilt the master node).

After a fresh install of ubuntu, I updated ubuntu then i proceeded by installing fog as a normal server by using the commands

sudo apt-get update && apt-get install git
sudo -i
git clone https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject.git /root/fogproject
cd /root/fogproject/bin
./installfog.sh

According to Upgrade to trunk

Now, i am still getting that same “500” error when trying to access it via a web browser. What is going on??!!??

@cojohnson Anything in the apache error log? /var/log/apache2/error.log

[Wayne Workman]

sounds like an IP conflict.

[cojohnson]

Sorry, Sebastian. Right after the error occured I reinstalled the OS again. This time I put on FOG 1.2.0 first and then upgraded to Trunk 7254. The basic fog server is working now.

All i have left to do is move the images that i copied off of one of the Storage Nodes /images/ directory to the Servers Image directory and then attach my storage nodes. Correct?

[Wayne Workman]

@cojohnson and re-creating your image definitions.

For future record, blasting and reinstalling in the future will leave all fog clients in your environment uncontrolled, because the fog server’s certificate would have been reset. There are steps on how to migrate the certs to a new server in the wiki, here: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=FOG_Client

@cojohnson You have a very unique troubleshooting style.
