Description

Installation completes fine - get to database schema stage and the system returns an error

no Mysql password added
separate DHCP Server (worked fine with my last FogServer)

[craigcoulson]

nevermind all - i rebuilt the server with only minimal packages and re-ran the svn install of Fog and it worked fine - go figure.

Please, what is the output of lsb_release -a ?
Debian 8.7 installs FOG 1.3.4 just fine, I tested this recently: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/8730/fog-installer-distro-check/19

Check your apache error logs. Check that there is a fog database made or not with mysql -D fog and check if it makes a difference if you access it with local loopback or with localhost: mysql -u localhost -D fog or mysql -u 127.0.0.1 -D fog

For troubleshooting purposes - If you have a firewall configured, turn it all off. If you have antivirus installed, turn that off too. you can turn these things back on and configure them to your hearts desire after you get fog working.

Thanks for your response - you guys rock !

Hopefully the picture will answer yr questions - no AV installed

@craigcoulson What’s the output of:

mysql -u root

Does it allow you to connect? I’ve seen one other time where, for whatever reason, the root user doesn’t get created when mysql is installed. I’m just guessing that this is a “fresh” install? If it is please run:

sudo apt-get purge mysql mysql-server mysql-client
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/mysql
sudo apt-get install mysql mysql-server

I don’t know all the “packages” and layouts Debian is looking for so it may be slightly simpler, and you may need to adjust the install/erase commands. Essentially all I’m wanting to see:

If you cannot get root access with the mysql -u root remove mysql entirely, re-install it.

Thanks Tom - i made sure mysql was installed - i have installed webmin so i have a better control over the server and i can access mysql using that - not sure what to try now ?

Try exactly what Tom asked you to try.

@Wayne-Workman

Glad to hear you got it working
