      Also to clarify, for the ftp test, you should have been on the main server testing ftp ccredentials to the node. Testing from the node to the main doesn’t tell you if the nodes ftp credentials are good because you weren’t testing them.

      And, the MySQL test should be run from the node.

      You can use SSH to be “in” whatever server you need to run the tests.

        @adukes40 I gave you the long explanation because you seem detail oriented but I’ll put it more plainly.

        In a multi-server setup with one main tied to one or many nodes, all registrations are stored in one place. On the main. Everything is managed from one place, on the main. Everything is contained in one spot, on the main. If a host is registered anywhere, it’s registered everywhere. Because the main holds everything and is the controller for everything, and the communication point for everything everywhere.

        The point of nodes is to increase imaging capacity, decrease load over the WAN, and to overcome broadcast domain related issues.

          when the storage node installed it gave me that long password, is that the password to use, or do i need to change it to the long password the Main uses? right now they are different.

            Ok, i just conducted ftp from the main to the node. i created a test.txt on the node, then on the main i used ftp to view the file directory, then delete the file, the dir again to verify it is gone.:

            techinstall@MSDCATS09:/$ ftp
            ftp> open 10.106.2.149

              now i get this for the storage node

              Error communicating with the database. Error: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused

              I think i will update the Main, and do another fresh install of the node and see what happens.

                Just rebuilt it, looking like it is connecting now as well. I will keep updating.

                      @Wayne-Workman said in Host/Group replication between FOG Servers:

                      ?mac=b8:ac:6f:3d:6e:a4

                      telling me line:

                      1179 response_rc = -EIO_5XX;

                      not sure what that is telling me though.

                        Actually I think this is what you were requesting:

                        #!ipxe
                        set fog-ip
                        set fog-webroot
                        set boot-url http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}

                        Here is SS

                          @adukes40 What version of FOG are you running? I’m pretty sure this is a trunk version, but the one you’re currently on is older. I have since fixed this particular (and a few more) issue I want to say since Monday.

                          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 I just upgraded the Main and reinstalled the storage node yesterday afternoon

                              @adukes40 You found the right page in that second post. The page should have a lot more. For instance, it should tell if the host is registered or not, and give a lot more information…

                              Now, swap the IP with the main server’s IP and try the URL again. There should be a lot more displayed.

                              Also, I think this issue is being caused by mysql credentials somehow being bad.

                              I have an idea… try to manually re-set the fogstorage mysql password using this:

                              'fogstorage'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY '';
                              Then ensure remote access is enabled for the fogstorage account with this:
                              GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON fog.* TO 'fogstorage'@'%' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY '' WITH GRANT OPTION;

                              Then, set the mysql password in the node’s /opt/fog/.fogsettings file to just blank, like empty quotes or whatever the wrapper is. Then re-run the installer you have on the node again, and see what happens - also re-try manually connecting to the DB on the main server FROM the storage node, using a blank password.

                              Of course, this is temporary - you may set a password later. I just want to get it working for troubleshooting purposes.

                                When i do the Main server I get this: I will try the other things in a bit. Do I simply just copy and paste those commands in putty and which server do I do this on?

                                  @adukes40 The script from the main server looks good - that’s how it should look from the node.

                                  Run them on the node. Yes, just copy paste.

                                  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!

                                    Sorry, I am new with Linux, so it is all a learning curve for me.

                                      @adukes40 Try it with a simple password. It goes between the empty quotes.

                                        All I get is invalid syntax. No clue what I am doing wrong.

                                            I remoted in to help.

                                            bind address 127.0.0.1 was set in my.cnf, I commented that and then we were able to connect to mysql from the remote node using the fogstorage username and password.

                                            However, when visiting the storage node’s boot.php file with a registered MAC address appended like this:
                                            http://10.106.2.149/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=b8:ac:6f:3d:6e:a4

                                            It spits just this out:

                                            set fog-ip
                                            set fog-webroot
                                            set boot-url http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}
                                            

                                            also, an apache2 error pops up in the node’s logs:
                                            [Tue May 24 16:05:32.244071 2016] [:error] [pid 20780] [client 10.106.10.5:12079] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function lastInsertId() on null in /var/www/html/fog/lib/db/pdodb.class.php on line 124

                                            FOG version 7829
                                            Both main and node is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
