      • FOG Version: 1.2.0/ 1.3.0
      • OS: Ubuntu 12.04
        I tried installing the stable update 1.3.0, I had an unable to stop web services error and upon finishing the installing which seemed to fail my apache2 completely quit working, now when trying to roll back to 1.2.0 I cannot get it to install either apache2 fails to start. If i need to provide any logs please let me know where i can easily locate them and i will do my best to provide them as soon as I can. I am not super well versed inside of Linux, more specifically the terminal side, so i may need a bit more direction than others.

      Thank you

        @dbakerwardog You’re probably going to want to upgrade your version of Ubuntu first.

        I’ve been seeing the versions (currently) below 16 not having the PHP packages available within the ondrej repository.

        Upgrading should be somewhat straightforward though.

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

        Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

          I’d even suggest building a new Ubuntu 16.04 server from scratch, then copying things over.

          Debian and CentOS generally have had better luck with FOG, just fyi.

            @Tom-Elliott Got to love how Ubuntu constantly changes their repository layout.

              What is the easiest way to create a backup of everything FOG essential, hosts, images, groups, if I don’t have access to the web side of FOG since my apache isn’t working? I am in the process of downloading a 16.04 LTS ISO to begin upgrading and want to make sure I don’t lose anything.

                @dbakerwardog You can upgrade in place.

                I think ubuntu uses do-release-upgrade

                I would say try that route first.

                If IT is having issues, then do the full backup.

                  @Tom-Elliott He seems to be on 12.04, I don’t know if they can still do-release-upgrade.

                    @dbakerwardog The easiest way to do this is actually to build the new one while the old one is still running. So, go build a new Ubuntu 16.04 server, follow these steps to get the latest fog: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Upgrade_to_trunk

                    After you have that done, via terminal, become root with sudo -i and then just do a mysqldump to a file. Like this:
                    mysqldump -D fog > fogdb.sql
                    That’ll give you a file called fogdb.sql. You can transfer this file to the new server the same way you would transfer the images.
                    https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Upgrade_to_trunk

                    An example for the db file using the old server to the new server would be:
                    scp fogdb.sql root@x.x.x.x:/root/fogdb.sql where x.x.x.x is the new server’s IP you’re sending it to.

                    Follow instructions in the link, it’s got examples on how to send all your image files at once.

                    On the new server, to import the db file (after you get it there) it’s just this:
                    mysql < fogdb.sql

                    Then after importing the DB, you’ll need to change spots in the web interface that will have the old fog server’s IP (because you imported the old DB). This is easy, here are all the places:
                    https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Change_FOG_Server_IP_Address

                      Just letting people know I edited the below post - and those instructions are only valid for 1.2.0 migration to 1.3.0. If you were migrating 1.3.0 to 1.3.0 there would be one extra step, moving over certificates. Those steps are detailed here, under “Maintain control of hosts when building new server” https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=FOG_Client

                        I did go ahead and do an upgrade in place from 12.04 to 14.04 then to 16.04
                        After that i reran the installation for FOG 1.3.0 and SUCCESS!!!
                        Thank you so much for the helpful advice from this board. Also wow FOG loads so much faster for me inside the web GUI, its like a whole new program.

                            Some things I found trying to follow the wiki -> at least on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04.1 server.

                            Mounting should read: (got error “bash: x.x.x.x:/images/test.txt: No such file or directory”)

                            mkdir /new 
                            mount x.x.x.x:/images/dev /new
                            

                            Export DB should read: (kept getting error “mysqldump: unknown option ‘-D’”

                            #No password.
                            mysqldump -B fog > /new/fogdb.sql
                            
                            #Password with root user.
                            mysqldump -B fog -u root -p > /new/fogdb.sql
                            
                            #No password, localhost.
                            mysqldump -B fog -h localhost > /new/fogdb.sql
                            
                            #No password, local loopback.
                            mysqldump -B fog -h 127.0.0.1 > /new/fogdb.sql
                            
                            #Password with localhost.
                            mysqldump -B fog -h localhost -u root -p > /new/fogdb.sql
                            
                            #Password with local loopback.
                            mysqldump -B fog -h 127.0.0.1 -u root -p > /new/fogdb.sql
                            

                            Export Images should be: (got error: “no command ‘copy’ found”)

                            cp -r /images/* /new
                            

                            This might help if people are getting similar errors…

                              @RoweAdmin Thanks for the feedback, I’ll get those items changed. I have no idea why I wrote ‘copy’ or wrote the mounting command backwards. Guess I was pretty tired. Never-the-less, thank you for your feedback. It’s very appreciated.
