Fog Services not starting on Server

[Tom Elliott]

@zpoling going to guess your php.ini date.timezone is set to America.New_York when it should be America/New_York

Check your server’s timezone:

cat /etc/timezone

Find your php.ini files:

sudo find /etc -name php.ini

Example output:

/etc/php5/cli/php.ini
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
/etc/php5/fpm/php.ini

Open each one and check the value of date.timezone

@Tom-Elliott

/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini? It’s correct in this file. It is America/New_York.

@zpoling Apache is GUI services are cli

@dolf It was wrong in the fpm directory, thanks.

Rerunning the service script directly now does nothing. It puts me on a new line and does nothing. The service still does not want to start properly either.

@zpoling Check the apache error logs. /var/log/apache2/

[zpoling]

Reran the fog installer and now all of the services are running. I’m going to reboot and see if the services restart as well.

@Wayne-Workman What should I be looking for? There’s a lot of crap in it.

[Wayne Workman]

@zpoling If everything is working, don’t worry about it.

@Wayne-Workman I just wanted to update you on what I saw as I got it working.

In the multicast log, it was showing 0 tasks to be cleaned, but 3 tasks were found. Always. Every way I’ve seen here on the forums to destroy any udp casting tasks did not change the log continuing to show those 3 tasks. On two of the laptops I just happened to be trying to multicast that day, I took all source of power away and held the power button for 10 seconds. I then started a multicast task for those two, and they worked. Keep in mind that I haven’t been able to multicast for a few weeks now. I find it odd that that’s all I had to do, and on two random laptops at that.

Also with the timezone issue, the services not starting was happening before I even tried to set the timezone prefrences. I tried to set the timezone purely because my multicast log was showing dates four-five hours away. I don’t know the exact time, because the log is now reporting the dates correctly.
