Client 11.9 Will not Install Fails at CA Certificates

[Joe Schmitt]

@jackiegl3350n well that looks right. It’s definitely some configuration issue somewhere. I’m assuming the client wasn’t already installed on these machines? Could you also try issuing a key regeneration? (sudo installfog.sh --recreate-keys).

@Joe-Schmitt

These machines have never had the client on them before. They can also ping the server. When I tired to run your command above it says it couldn’t find it. Here’s a screenshot:

From what I can tell, you currently have two versions of fog running on the same machine. Of course I can’t be sure.

When you go to the GUI, do you see 1.2.0 in the cloud or do you see the version and datetime information to the right of the Cloud icon?

To ensure all is okay, I might suggest:

sudo mv /var/www/fog{,_back}
sudo mv /var/www/html/fog{,_back}

Then rerun the installer:

(You should be able to use recreate-keys as well if you deem it necessary).

./installfog.sh -y --recreate-keys

@Tom-Elliott

The 1.2.0 was at a previous company, this is the only FOG server here. The info is to the right of the cloud as it should be.

Also, forgot to put ./ in front of installfog.sh, so that’s my bad, sorry.

I was able to run the recreate keys command and still no luck.

Ran the command with the -y parameter and still nothing.

@jackiegl3350n Is there any logs with any further information?

I don’t know where, but I would think the C:\fog.log or even “zazzles.log (of which I don’t know where that would be at the moment)” that might have more useful information?

I’ve seen error’s like this occur due to timing as well.

For example, the FOG Server is set to local time, but the machine is set to pacific when it should be new york?

This would cause a failure because the times don’t match one another. Essentially, it would make the client machine think the certs are no longer valid as the server is “ahead”.

This can happen in reverse too I suppose.

@Tom-Elliott

Both client and server are set to Eastern time and show exactly the same time right down to the second.

I can’t find any log files on the client after running the installer.

[Tom Elliott]

Trying to hit up on chat, in hopes that I can help out.

[Tom Elliott]

All seems to be working now.

[jackiegl3350n]

For future reference, our antivirus was blocking the application from communicating with the server.

[Tom Elliott]

Well that would make a ton of sense.

More details please, which antivirus product caused it, have you added an exclusion or how did you solve it?

We have Kaspersky. Apparently the System Watcher module was blocking the client from communicating with the server. When this was disabled, the client installed. However, the Firewall module in Kaspersky also blocked tasks from the server to be executed on the client (remote shutdown for example). The bottom article might help other Kaspersky users, though we haven’t tried this yet as of this posting.
