Fog Upgraded to 1.3.0 RC 11 - Snapins not deploying - 'Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject'.

[Joe Schmitt]

@Tom-Elliott "snapinclient":[] server is not following the client’s data contracts.

[Duncan]

@Joe-Schmitt

How would i fix that it does follow?

Thanks

[Joe Schmitt]

@Duncan I pointed it out to Tom, and it’ll be fixed in the next RC. This issue only occurs when there are no snapins. So while it’s not pretty in the logs, it won’t harm day-to-day operations and snapins will function properly.

@Joe-Schmitt

Iv just noticed the public.crt file has the incorrect ip of my server. Might thisbe the issue?

my snapins dont deploy though.

I have just rebuilt a few computers and nothing installs.

[Tom Elliott]

Can you please try this:

wget -O /var/www/fog/lib/client/snapinclient.class.php https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FOGProject/fogproject/9db352baf5520283bd8c8fa9ff8d70d2bf1e9ed8/packages/web/lib/client/snapinclient.class.php

See if you’re still seeing the same issue?

@Tom-Elliott

client folder wasnt there, created and ran command. rebooted server, but the error is still there for snapin client.

Thanks

[Tom Elliott]

@Duncan What do you mean the folder wasn’t there?

[Duncan]

@Tom-Elliott

/var/www/fog/lib/client/

The client directory was not there

[Tom Elliott]

@Duncan Mind running:

rm -rf /var/www/fog /var/www/html/fog

Then rerun the installer, then run that command?

If you have ISO’s in the fog directory back them up first (of course).

[Duncan]

@Tom-Elliott

Will try tomorrow am. Will let you know how I get on.

Cheers Tom

@Tom-Elliott

Tried that, started to get authentication errors and fog log wouldn’t get to the snap in client.

Had some pressure to get FOG back up and running so i just had to snap shot it back to yesterday morning.

Going to try the upgrade again next week when it will be quieter in the office.

Many thanks for all the help yesterday.

Hopefully issues will be fixed in the next RC.

Cheers

@Duncan could you please perform the following steps:

1. Stop the fog service on this machine (net stop fogservice)
2. Download https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-client/releases/download/0.11.5/Debugger.exe to this machine
3. Go to your FOG Server’s web portal, pull up this host and hit Reset Encryption Data
4. Run Debugger.exe
5. Type middleware configuration server http://FOG-SERVER/fog (replace FOG-SERVER with your server’s IP)
6. Type middleware authentication handshake
7. Type dump cycle save

It will generate FOGCycle.txt in the same directory as Debugger.exe. Please open up this file, remove your active directory account information (your ad password will be in plain text), and then upload that file here. Once done, go to the host in the FOG web server again and hit Reset Encryption Data once more. You can then start the service back up.

This is #wiki worthy for the FOG Client article - for troubleshooting.
