          @ManofValor What I mean, that was by cell phone voice to text translation. Essentially, what a “block level” device is, it is a device that operates at the block level. This is how HDD’s operate. In the iscsi world a section of the space is delved out. The receiving (target) of the initiator can use the point as if it were a local device. Think CD Drive, or HDD (more appropriate).

          You can move where that point mounts and even mount the same device on different systems (though I’d highly recommend it).

          The SAN (Storage Area Network) is the most often place I’ve seen high use of iSCSI. NAS simply means (Network Attached Storage) which can mean any number of things. I suppose iSCSI is the same type of thing.

          Please understand, I know people come from different experience levels and know different things. I know you have to start somewhere. Most work up from a lower point though. Not in an IT position already trying to integrate advanced items to a system that’s hardly known about in their already existing environment.

          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! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

          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)

              Yup. Although I entered my first job with education and certs, I was just a lab assistant helping people with computer usage, i.t. homework, and filling paper in printers. I quickly gained experience and responsibilities though, and my boss let me do way more stuff than what was on my job description back then. Of course I thought I knew it all from the git-go… people in i.t. who continually move up are those who constantly learn, make mistakes and learn more, and continually do more… every day.

                Curious, why do I have two of the same sd’s, sdb and sdc? I was going to partition one, I guess it doesn’t matter but just wondering.

                  I’m not sure I quite understand this message during the FOG install/update. Am I supposed to add those two lines to the .fogsettings file, cause I don’t see them in there? If so, does it matter where it goes?

                   ########################################################################################
                     FOG has adjusted to using a login system to protect what can/cannot be downloaded

                     fogguipass='passwordOfFOGGUIUser'
                  
                     You can also re-run this installer as:
                  
                     fogguiuser='usernameOfFOGGUI' fogguipass='passwordOfFOGGUIUser' ./installfog.sh -y

                  Also, I believe I’ve got the iSCSI mounted right and ready to try an image.

                    @ManofValor I think you are almost there.

                    Last bit, I’d do if I were you.

                    Make sure permissions are proper.

                    Run: chmod =R 777 /images

                    Then run her up and see how it goes.

                        It’s not critical, but for backups to automatically happen when you re-run the installer or update, you need those fields inside of /opt/fog/.fogsettings just like it says. All you’d do is just add them, just as it says.

                        Also, the command Tom gave has a typo. He was probably on cellular.

                        It’s chmod -R 777 /images

                            Also, I’m still getting this error when clicking on the FOG Configuration in fog management.

                              @ManofValor you could try blasting everything in /var/www except the html directory, and the blast everything inside of /var/www/html directory, and then re-run the installer.

                                @Wayne-Workman When you say blast I assume you mean delete? Just making sure its not another term or something…lol.

                                  @ManofValor yes. Blast sounds so much more exciting than delete.

                                  rm -rf NameOfFileOrDirectory

                                          @ManofValor I have no earthy idea why that page is being requested then. If you have time to do a TeamViewer session I can try to figure out why.
