Hi, please check the error log in bin/error_logs

Look for the most recent version log (will have RC8 in it) and upload/post it here please.

@Quazz I tried
dnf install http://rpms.remirepo.net/fedora/remi-release-23.rpm
But the install still fails in the same spot.

Quazz

@mclapper68 Are you currently on Fedora 23 or 24?

mclapper68

@Quazz Fedora 24 server

Quazz

@mclapper68 You need to install the correct rpm for your version. For your version it’s probably http://rpms.remirepo.net/fedora/remi-release-24.rpm

Fedora 24 wiki article

I’m not overly familiar with Fedora, but I think the complete error log might be more useful.

What happens if you do a simple dnf update -y ?

mclapper68

@Quazz Sorry my mistake that is the what I have installed.
dnf install http://rpms.remirepo.net/fedora/remi-release-24.rpm
Last metadata expiration check: 2:18:38 ago on Wed Aug 17 06:50:56 2016.
Package remi-release-24-2.fc24.remi.noarch is already installed, skipping.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

I already did dnf update -y. There is no new updates. I will post my complete error log in a separate reply. Thank you for your help.

@mclapper68 Try to uninstall the remi repo, and then re-install it.

mclapper68

@Wayne-Workman
I did a uninstall and reinstall of remi, no change.

mclapper68

@Wayne-Workman
After I ran:
dnf --enablerepo=remi --enablerepo=remi-php70 install php-fpm php-common
The install goes further and stops at

Restarting Apache2 for fog vhost…Failed!

@mclapper68 said in Fedora Fog Storage Node Fails:

Restarting Apache2 for fog vhost…Failed!

That’s interesting… apache2 is a Ubuntu/Debian service… in RHEL land, it’s httpd.

@Wayne-Workman
I am going to do another fresh install of Fedora 24 Server and run the
dnf --enablerepo=remi --enablerepo=remi-php70 install php-fpm php-common
command then try to do another install of the fog storage node. I will let you know how it goes.

Thank you.

@mclapper68 If you are going to do another fresh OS install why don’t you just use centos 7, then there is no monkeying around. It just installs. Or use ubuntu 14.04 either will install clean.

Wayne Workman

We have solid tutorials in the wiki for Fedora and CentOS 7.

If you’re not Linux savvy - go with CentOS 7. If you are going to run the server for years and years and years, go with CentOS 7.

Most of our sites at work are using CentOS 7 - with me being the exception. I use Fedora Server at work and home lol.

And I’d recommend Debian over Ubuntu. Debian is more stable - and the developers don’t make radical changes every release. Since Debian is up-stream from Ubuntu, that alone should be reason enough to use Debian instead of Ubuntu. Plus, Debian is regarded by many to be the “most free” of all Linux distributions.

mclapper68

While I did try a fresh install again. No luck. I am going to install CentOS 7 now. I will let you know how it goes.

mclapper68

All that time wasted with Fedora. CentOS 7 works super smooth no errors no problems. Thank you to everybody. I think Fog should put CentOS as there preferred OS just my humble opinion.

Wayne Workman

@mclapper68 I’m testing Fedora as I type.

Wayne Workman

I had exactly verbatim the same experience with a fresh Fedora 24 VM that you described.

Remi repo for Fedora 24 is broken.

And… I can’t tell them about it because their forums won’t let me register, because they think my IP is associated with spammers lol.
