      @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.

      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!

        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.

              @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.

                      I just spoke briefly with the @Senior-Developers and they said that the storage node installation actually communicates with the main server’s DB to do certain things.

                      What this means is because of the bind address previously, those things the installer needed to do didn’t get done.

                      So, now that we’ve sorted out the connectivity issues, all you should need to do is re-run the installer on the storage node (no rebuild is required at all!), and then things should be working for you.

                        After re-running the installer on the storage node and rebooting the main server, this is what’s in the replication logs, and it just hangs and never replicates. @Tom-Elliott

                          I’ve verified both the main and node’s FTP credentials.
                          I’ve toggled the master node for both, just to reset it.
                          I’ve made test images and test snapins but both hang at exactly where lftp should start.
                          I’ve also uninstalled and reinstalled lftp.
