@ITSolutions Ubuntu 14.04… Perhaps it’s time to upgrade?

No definitely don’t upgrade Ubuntu broke a lot of things in 16.04, so 14.04 is a better choice for now. Ubuntu moved the default location for web pages in 14.04 from /var/www to /var/www/html. FOG is designed to do a symlink back to /var/www, but maybe something broke in that. Can you check to see if there is a /var/www/fog folder and a symlink /var/www/html/fog?

[RobTitian16]

@ITSolutions I can confirm both folders are there and there is a symlink between the two.

What version of trunk do you have? If it is below 7971 can you try updating? This version was just released.

@RobTitian16 Is this a new install of FOG trunk or an upgrade, I guess I am a little confused re-reading your OP.

[RobTitian16]

@ITSolutions Sorry, it’s an old version that was released last week that I’m currently using. I’ll update to the latest and let you know how I get on.

Did you upgrade the server from 1.2 or did you build a new server and is it the same IP?

[RobTitian16]

@ITSolutions I upgraded the server from 1.2. I can confirm I’m now running build 7971. However, I’m still experiencing the same issue.

I think that statement there is what’s going on.

So, if you use the host name, you are taken to 1.2.0 interface, but if you use the IP you are taken to fog trunk interface.

This means that the web files for 1.2.0 obviously still exist, and the trunk files are there too.

If it were me, I’d delete everything in /var/www EXCEPT for the html directory, and I would delete everything INSIDE of /var/www/html and re-run the installer. That should fix it.

So for instance if you saw some-folder inside /var/www you’d do rm -rf /var/www/some-folder That’s a recursive delete command. same goes for everything in the other.

You can list the contents of the directory, including hidden files, with ls -la

@Wayne-Workman That’s solved it! Thanks a lot for your help
