Fog Cannot Register Host and Blank Screen on Image Startup

[Tom Elliott]

What version of fog are you running? From the sounds of it it would seem to be 1.2.0.

[Atton]

I am running 1.2.0

[Wayne Workman]

@Atton FOG 1.3.0 RC1 is out, read more information here: https://news.fogproject.org/fog-1-3-0-rc-1/

@Wayne-Workman Installing it I ran into an issue that said libapache2-mod-php5 Failed! I followed the link on updating apache2 and php5 and then the install was going. I restarted my machine because the apache2 server was not working so I couldn’t get into the web server to update the database and now I cannot get logged in with my username and password to the machine.

libapache2-mod-php5

What version of Ubuntu/Debian are you running?

[Atton]

@Wayne-Workman ubuntu 12.0.4

[Wayne Workman]

@Atton

sudo apt-get install aptitude -y
sudo aptitude reinstall libapache2-mod-php5 libapache2-mod-php5filter php5-cgi php5-fpm php5 -y

[Atton]

@Wayne-Workman I can’t. The password I used to get into the machine is no longer working. I did not change it

[Wayne Workman]

@Atton can you access the /opt/fog/.fogsettings file? The password is in there.
cat /opt/fog/.fogsettings

[Atton]

@Wayne-Workman It says my password is the same one I have always been using but it’s no longer working.

[Wayne Workman]

@Atton What says that?

[Atton]

@Wayne-Workman My password problem is fixed. Before I restarted I updated apache2 and php5 and there was a compatibility problem between the 2 and apache2 will not run.

[Tom Elliott]

@Atton I don’t know if you ahve any custom setups, but please try this:

sudo -i
rm -rf /etc/php5 /etc/apache2;
apt-get clean all
apt-get update
apt-get purge apache2 lib*mod*php5 php5*
apt-get clean all
rm -rf /var/www

Then retry installing. This should fix most of those issues.

[Atton]

@Tom-Elliott That fixed the apache2 issue, now when updating it says “Stopping Web Service… Failed!” and stops there.

[Tom Elliott]

@Atton What’s in the apache error log? What’s in the bin/error_logs/fog_error_${version}.log (where version is the version you’re installing?
