FOG Client 0.11.3 - no config.json file

[Wayne Workman]

@Joe-Schmitt at work, 64 bit. It has 4 cores assigned, running Fedora 21.

[Tom Elliott]

@Wayne-Workman I suspect this is a filesize issue, though I don’t know for sure.

I’ve updated the codebase to be more agnostic toward architecture but I don’t know if this will help for this particular issue.

It certains does seem odd of a problem. Maybe you can try to download the file the same way the client attempts? Does require a bit of work to get right but should work once we get done.

[Wayne Workman]

@Tom-Elliott I would just use the link in the log right? I guess the ID would need added by 1 after a failed deployment and redeployment, with the client turned off.

[Wayne Workman]

Figured out why there was no spike in network traffic, the file was zero size.
FYI, I ran this ls command AFTER I went into the smart notebook snapin, clicked delete, and checked the box to delete files as well. So FOG 1.3.0 RC1 isn’t deleting snapins. I don’t see anything relevant in the apache error logs.

I wonder if it’s due to the space in the filename?

[Wayne Workman]

I’m attempting to re-do the snapin now.

[Tom Elliott]

Don’t lie.

I just tested running 1.3.0-RC-1 deleting snapins works fine to remove files.

[Wayne Workman]

@Tom-Elliott It didn’t delete it. Note the space in the file name.

[Wayne Workman]

Well, this is highly interesting. I just re-built the snapin pack to use the new format, set it up in the GUI, and clicked add. I watched the percent count up in the bottom left of Chrome for the upload. After it got done, this is all that appears in /opt/fog/snapins

Just confirmed that my server, Fedora 21, is 64 bit:

Found some ftp logs in /var/log, they also show the 0 file size. Still digging…

i had an issue similar if not identical a while back. it went away after updating to a newer build, so i assumed it was a bug that was fixed. creating a snapin would create a 0 length file with the name, but obviously didn’t actually upload the file to the server. i don’t remember much more details than that, it was a week or two ago.

[Wayne Workman]

I guess now, I need to test a 1.5 GB snapin pack… I’m just going to throw crap in a file until it’s about that size, don’t care about functionality at this point, This is related to file size.

[Tom Elliott]

@Junkhacker I can only guess that the post_max_filesize and upload_max_size (or whatever they are) are not set to the value of the file that’s being uploaded currently?

Just a guess of course.

WTH do I know though?

Can you check your server’s php.ini settings for these two things @Wayne-Workman

[Wayne Workman]

@Tom-Elliott Those two things are already set to 10000M. They are upload_max_filesize and post_max_size inside php.ini, On my server, it was /etc/php.ini

[Junkhacker]

@Tom-Elliott when i had the problem (and it may be unrelated to his problem) it wasn’t a filesize issue. my snapins were less than 1MB in size. i have not had the problem with 1.3.0-RC-1. perhaps it is worth noting that the file owner details are different now, though. owner of older snapin files are fog:www-data new snapins are fog:fog

[Wayne Workman]

The snapin is approx. 2.11GB, I have enough space on / to hold it, I was reading online that not enough space can cause it.

[Tom Elliott]

@Wayne-Workman I’m not asking for disk size available. I’m asking about the /etc/php/php.ini (or whereever it’s located).

[Wayne Workman]

@Junkhacker said in FOG Client 0.11.3 - no config.json file:

perhaps it is worth noting that the file owner details are different now, though. owner of older snapin files are fog:www-data new snapins are fog:fog

Mine are fog:apache for the snapins folder… I’ll try fog:fog and see what happens.

—EDIT—

I set permissions recursively on the snapins folder, then re-created the snapin in the gui. Didn’t seem to affect the zero file size.

[Wayne Workman]

I also just gave the server a reboot, and then re-tried. No luck.

At this point - I’m going to just manually place the file in the right spot and set permissions, and hope that works.

[Wayne Workman]

Well of course, placing the file manually didn’t work because there was no hash created for it.

Guess I’m doing this deployment with a batch file snapin.
