windows 10 fog service

@Jamie-Read Look here for instructions: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Upgrade_to_trunk

make sure you do a db backup first, or a snapshot, or whatever you need.

I’m having a similar problem. I updated to the latest trunk build, and when I try to install the new client it says “Failed to download CA certificate” then backs out of the installer.

[Wayne Workman]

@nlaplante Are you using the FQDN of the Fog server during installation, or the FOG Server’s IP address? What version of FOG? Could host antivirus be causing it?

@Wayne-Workman and @nlaplante were you able to solve it? I am stuck at the same spot and can’t seem to get it to work. I have tried

Server Adress:
fog-server
http://X.X.X.X/fog-server
http://X.X.X.X/
X.X.X.X
X.X.X.X/fog-server

Web Root:
/fog
http://X.X.X.X/fog
X.X.X.X/fog

both Enable FOG tray and Put Log File in Root is checked.

I am running version 7649

@dat So… when installing the fog client, you put in just the FOG server’s IP, or it’s name if you have an “A” record created in DNS. In the FOG Web Interface, you would supply your AD information in the FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> AD area.

@Wayne-Workman I am just using the IP address. I have tried http://xxx.xxx.185.79/ and xxx.xxx.185.79 with no luck. am I doing it wrong?

Yes, you are. Just put in the IP. nothing else. Loose the http stuff. If JUST the IP address isnt’ working, I’d question if the fog server is even installed right, or if firewall or SELinux is preventing communication.

@Wayne-Workman thanks. That worked!

[Wayne Workman]

@dat What worked?

[dat]

@Wayne-Workman Putting in

Server Adress: X.X.185.79

and leaving

Web Root: /fog

Thanks for the help!

@dat
Just a side note.
If you make a dns cname/alias of the name fog-server for your fog server then the default options will always work.
Which makes scripting a bit easier. Granted you can add command-line options for your fog server ip or hostname if you choose. I just find it much easier if you make the default options work.

If you don’t know what a cname/alias is or how to make it, how it’s done depends on what type of dns and or dhcp server you’re using.

@Arrowhead-IT Usually I like to use DNS but I don’t have access to it. I need to submit an email to my network dept. for that.
