Unable to install Fog on RHEL7 / CentOS7

dwithandelmo

I am getting an error below while installing Fog…

Checking package: mysql…OK
Checking package: mysql-server…Failed!

Can anyone help? Thank you.

Wayne Workman

Wherever you put the fogproject repo, go into bin/error_log and you’ll find a file with the version number on it. This is all the redirected output from the installer. Please post the last 30 or so lines from that file here.

Also, can you clarify what version of FOG you’re trying to install? And is this RHEL7 or CentOS 7?

FOG now has everything it needs to setup your server, but please
understand that this script will overwrite any setting you may
have setup for services like DHCP, apache, pxe, tftp, and NFS.

It is not recommended that you install this on a production system
as this script modifies many of your system settings.

This script should be run by the root user on Redhat or with sudo on Ubuntu.

** Notice ** Redhat users will need to disable SELinux and iptables in
order to use FOG
Please see our wiki for more information at http://www.fogproject.org/wiki

Here are the settings FOG will use:
Base Linux: Redhat
Detected Linux Distribution: \S
Installation Type: Normal Server
Server IP Address: 10.10.13.2
DHCP router Address:
DHCP DNS Address:
Interface: eno33554984
Using FOG DHCP: 0
Internationalization: 0
Donate: 0

     DHCP will NOT be setup but you must setup your
     current DHCP server to use FOG for PXE services.

     On a Linux DHCP server you must set:
         next-server

     On a Windows DHCP server you must set:
         option 066 & 067

	   Option 066 is the IP of the FOG Server: (e.g. 10.10.13.2)
	   Option 067 is the undionly.kpxe file: (e.g. undionly.kpxe)

I guess two things come to mind

Does you rhel computer have Internet access? If so is it by a proxy server?
I would suggest that you install fog 1.30-rc6 instead of 1.2.0. 1.2.0 came out before rhel 7 was released. I might suspect some installer errors.

On your rhel server, on the command line, what happens when you key in: yum install mysql mysql-server -y

Do you get a more intellegent error?

dwithandelmo

@george1421

yum install mysql tries to install mariadb but it’s already installed
yum installmysql-server gives no package available

Where can I download 1.30-rc6?

@dwithandelmo So now you didn’t get as far as before, very strange.

Let me spin up a new centos 7 vm and see if I get the same results.

Wayne Workman

@dwithandelmo Do you have SELinux set to permissive?

george1421

@george1421 I went through a complete install on cento7 without error.

I did change selinux to disable and firewalld to disabled. Other than installing subversion and downloading rc7, and running the fog installer that is all I did. FOG installed correctly without error.

dwithandelmo

Thanks both of you for the help!

I’ve just downloaded CentOS7 (3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64) and installed FOG 1.30 RC7 successfully without errors. I did tried to first install 1.20 on it and got the same error as on the RHEL, fyi

george1421

@dwithandelmo Great job, it would be interesting to know why RHEL7 is different then Cento7. But at the end of the day, as long as you have fog up and running with the least amount of extra headache then we’re good.

As for 1.2.0 acting the same way on Centos7 I can kind of expect that too.
