IT might, There is a thread around where someone made a new server and migrated the data over. I would go that route if you have the time. Let me see if I can find it.

@Tim-Reynolds I’d highly recommend upgrading to at least Ubuntu 14.04, then running the update.
-
@Tom-Elliott OK. Will do. You’re talking about the SVN update after the 14.04 update, correct?
-
@Tim-Reynolds yes.
-
@Tom-Elliott My 10.04 errors when trying to upgrade. It is saying it can’t find us.archive.ubuntu.com. Should I build a new server and try to migrate everything to it?
-
@Tim-Reynolds I would with that big of a jump there are to many variables to worry about.
-
@Psycholiquid Is it hard migrating all Fog data to the new server?
-
@Tim-Reynolds Not real sure never done it, I cant see it being to hard. But with the version switching you are doing I cant be certain.

I would not recommend upgrading a Linux distribution to a newer one. I’ve gone through it before and am less than impressed. I personally would always build a new server from scratch. But, to each their own.
Migrating data from fog isn’t overly difficult. There are a lot of places where the IP is stored, and where usernames and passwords are stored. You’d just need to hunt through all the settings and change all those. Here’s a guide:

I am having the same issue but this thread seems to have gone from hostname changing to reinstalling fog and ubuntu.

@John-Johnson Because the OP was on Ubuntu 10… Can you start a new thread?
