      Hi all,

      I have a new FOG installation: it has 1 host configured: the host correctly
      boots from FOG tftpboot.

      From the fog WebUI I correctly see my host as green (I imagine it means that
      host server can ping my client).

      When I go to Host management, list hosts, click on my host,
      go in basic action an click on Upload (I want upload an host image)
      I’m shown a page with title “Task management” and a white page.
      If I go to task management, active task, no tasks are shown.

      Obviously, if I reboot my host, it just boots with pxe, no image upload.

      I think the task is not activated: how can I find the reason?
      any log file to look at?

      thanks
      giammy

        Have you gone through and updated your TFTP password and default storage password after you installed FOG?

        What OS flavor are you running FOG on.

          hi,

          and thanks for the reply!

          I’m working on a Debian GNU/Linux wheezy/sid
          root@foggy:# uname -a
          Linux foggy 3.2.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Apr 15 16:47:38 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux

          I installed on the vanilla debian (netinstall) the fog_0.32.tar.gz package.

          The configuration I used is:

          Distro: Ubuntu
          Installation Type: Normal Server
          Server IP Address: x.x.35.223
          DHCP router Address: x.x.35.225
          DHCP DNS Address: x.x.35.1
          Interface: eth0
          Using FOG DHCP: 0
          Internationalization: 0

          I have a single machine with web UI, tftp and storage, while DNS and DHCP
          are on different machines.

          The fox machine has 1 user fog with password mypass,
          and I can connect to it via ssh or ftp.

          I setted mypass in the database as:

          sudo mysql -p’password’
          use fog;
          UPDATE users SET uPass = MD5(‘mypass’) WHERE uName = ‘fog’;
          exit;

          in the file /var/www/fog/commons/config.php I have:

          define( “TFTP_FTP_USERNAME”, “fog” );
          define( “TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD”, “mypass” );
          …
          define( “STORAGE_FTP_USERNAME”, “fog” );
          define( “STORAGE_FTP_PASSWORD”, “mypass” );

          define( “MYSQL_HOST”, “localhost” );
          define( “MYSQL_DATABASE”, “fog” );
          define( “MYSQL_USERNAME”, “root” );
          define( “MYSQL_PASSWORD”, “mypass” );

          I think I setted all the password to mypass.

          in the web UI -> Fog Settings, I see, as password:

          FOG Storage Nodes
          FOG_STORAGENODE_MYSQLUSERfogstorage
          FOG_STORAGENODE_MYSQLPASSmypass

          TFTP server
          FOG_TFTP_FTP_USERNAMEfog
          FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORDmypass

          Am I missing other passwords?

          Have you gone through and updated your TFTP password and default storage password after you installed FOG?

          I can correctly access to TFTP (no password), and ftp (using mypass).

          The default storage password how cam be setted? where is used?

          thanks again
          giammy

            If you haven’t yet, make sure you click on the storage nodes icon in the web ui (at the main ui page) and go update the password there.

              hi,

              in storage management, all storage nodes, default member, I have:

              Management Username fog
              Management Password mypass

              I must I I do not have a very clear understanding of the use of this password:
              from what I understand, the linux box has 1 user and 1 mypass to access
              both via ssh and ftp: the linux box needs to have other access types?

              thanks
              giammy

                  hi,

                  looking at the webserver logs, when I click on “Upload Image”
                  (and got a blank page) I see various errors.

                  Can this problem be caused by a wrong php version?
                  i installed debian testing netinstall, and run the fog
                  installation script which installed the needed software.

                  The php version I have now is php5 5.4.0-3.

                  Can this be a problem?
                  Is there a php reccomended version?

                  thanks
                  giammy

                    You should be seeing a similar page to the one attached.
                    If not there could be a problem with you FOG install.

                        When I set up FOG I let the installer download & install the packages that it required, did you do this?

                          Hi,

                          I found out the problem: it was the PHP version.

                          I install fog letting the installer to download all it needs, but the first installation
                          was debian testing, which install php5.4, which is NOT compatible with FOG.

                          I reinstalled all the PC with a debian 6.04 (the last stable), which comes with
                          php 5.3 and everything go up and works!

                          thanks for the help
                          giammy

                            Glad you got it working & good to know that PHP5.4 isn’t supported yet. I assume it will be in the next release.

                              This is still an issue. When will PHP 5.4 be supported? What is the best way to force Debian 7 to run PHP 5.3 instead of 5.4?

                                I’m pretty sure when the next version of FOG comes out, this will be fixed because it’s a pretty big code rewrite. For now, just change the code and replace the calls to the functions that are using referenced variables. There are several posts showing what to change and out. I think what you’re looking for is &$tmp
