upgrading to SVN failed :(
-
Failed to upgrade to SVN trunk.
Followed the wiki instructions and recieved no errors - https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Upgrade_to_trunk
Now the FOG reports still on version 1.2 and the dashboard reports in disk information :- no error but no data was returned.
In Hardware information the kernel reports :- Error communicating with the databaseBefore i revert my snapshot and try again - anything i can attempt to resolve or investigate further ?
-
@craigcoulson Hi, have you check mysql log ?
-
Just delving in there now
-
nothing to speak of in the mysql log
mysql still runninghmmm…
-
@craigcoulson Apache error log ?
-
What were you installing? If it’s from 4 hours ago, then I’m assuming the latest at that time. What you see on the “login” screen is not the same as the version you’re attempting to install. That is found in the Cloud icon on the top left portion of the page.
Please rerun the svn up/git pull portion of the folder and retry installing. My guess is it failed at updating database?

Either that or the www directory is a bit screwed. Please run
ls -al /var/www /var/www/fog /var/www/htmlandfind /etc/ -name "001-fog" -exec grep DocumentRoot {} /dev/null \;and take a picture to show us exactly what you see. Copy&paste would also be ok! -

no response to the second command at all ?
-
@craigcoulson Sorry, my fault. I just typed that second command from the top of my head without actually testing it on my machine… try this:
find /etc/ -name "001-fog*" -exec grep DocumentRoot {} /dev/null \;(was only missing one important character).From what the directory listings look like you have two FOG web interfaces installed now. The one on
/var/www/foglooks like version 1.2.0 while/var/www/html/fogprobably is the FOG trunk one. Better move both out of the way and re-run the installer. Just to make sure you have a clean one and no confusion later on:sudo mkdir /var/www/backup_old sudo mv /var/www/fog /var/www/backup_old sudo mv /var/www/html /var/www/backup_old cd /path/to/fogproject git pull cd bin sudo ./installfog.sh ... -
Ahh, i now recall moving the original installation out of the HTML folder to shorten the overall url - my bad
If i revert my snapshot - move things back - then apply SVN it should all go normally then right ?

I’d say so!
-
it all went well - till i went to check/update the schema and was greeted with this :-
the version looks good at least !
-
@craigcoulson I added that screen yesterday to try to help people more on the fly. If it can’t connect to the database, the main gui (and everything else) will fail as well. That message is an attempt to help lead you to the solution (though I have no idea what is the problem currently.)
My only guess, if I had to have one. What’s the settings in the /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/config.class.php file for the Database values? If you have a password, please block it, but post the contents of these values so we can see more what’s going on.
-
By the way, that screen is dynamic too (the error you’re seeing there.)
If it is indeed a problem with the config.class.php and you fix it. It should present you the form buttons automatically.
-
well after a couple of rollbacks and failed SVN installs (still not sure why) i finally got the server running on the latest trunk
I actually used GIT this time and it went well.
the steps i took (in case they may be useful)- backup mysql
- export hosts
- removed 1.2 version of fog using the uninstall instructions
- renamed \images to \images_old
- install GIT
- followed instructions to install from trunk
- import sql
- import hosts
- move my image from \images_old to \images
- profit !
-
@craigcoulson For you and future readers, it’s not necessary to uninstall old versions of FOG, nor is it necessary to move the images. Of course, I will always advise to take backups of the DB and hosts and images - not just when updating but on a regular basis.
