Redirect /fog/management to root X.X.X.X

[george1421]

@bluesky Yeah, you should be using Wayne’s post. The index.html should work, but there may be some apache configs that need to happen. I was just shooting from where I know. The php solution that wayne posted does the same exact thing but via a php page.

@Wayne-Workman this fails chown root:apache /var/www/html/index.php invalid group. should this be www-data?

[Wayne Workman]

@bluesky said in Redirect /fog/management to root X.X.X.X:

this fails chown root:apache /var/www/html/index.php invalid group. should this be www-data?

Yep. In Ubuntu/Debian it’s www-data

I updated the wiki to reflect this.

@george1421 Thanks I have tried both your suggestions, but if you know this works, then I suspect I have issues with my apache2 service

[Wayne Workman]

@bluesky It’s not working?

[bluesky]

@Wayne-Workman No its not working, typing "X.X.X.X "into the browser takes me to the index of / page. interestingly enough if i type local host, it takes me to the Apache Debian default page then redirects me to the fog web console

[bluesky]

@Wayne-Workman I think I am going to start all over with fresh install. I am using virtual box so I can destroy and start over easily. I suspect I have touched to many files made to many config changes.

[Wayne Workman]

@bluesky I can assure you that the wiki article I posted does work. Others and myself have used it many times on many different OSs. Starting over is probably best since you’re just playing around with fog.

[bluesky]

@Wayne-Workman Ok Thanks thats what I will do. Thanks for all your help. So far, I have FOG up and running in a school district…just now trying to tweak a few things

[bluesky]

@Wayne-Workman Hi Wayne - I just cant seem to get this to work following the instructions on wiki.
I have started with fresh install of Ubuntu 16 and FOG . I dont want to waste your time but thought I would provide the update.

1.) ls -l /var/www/html/index.php
-rwxr–r-- 1 root www-data 78 Feb 16 09:24 /var/www/html/index.php

2.) Contents of above file:
<?php
header(‘Location: http://10.0.2.15/fog/management/index.php’);
exit;
?>

3.)
Latest Version: 1.3.4
Latest Development Version: 1.3.5-RC-7
Latest SVN Version: 6065

4.) Server Version: Apache/2.4.25 (Ubuntu) OpenSSL/1.0.2k

create a index.html in /var/www with the following content:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=/fog">

[bluesky]

@x23piracy Thanks, this worked!

[Wayne Workman]

@bluesky I just tried the steps in the wiki verbatim and they work fine. I’m not sure what is wrong, are you replacing the x.x.x.x with the server IP address?

[bluesky]

@Wayne-Workman Please see my previous reply to you, you can see exactly what I did including the contents of the php file.

[Wayne Workman]

@bluesky sorry about that.

Apache must be configured by default on Ubuntu to not look for an index.php ? That’s the only thing I can think of. I’m going to have to try it on Ubuntu 16 now and see.

Glad you got something working though. Linux is all about possibilities and freedom doing things your way!

[bluesky]

@Wayne-Workman No worries, ya I am going to look at apache default config

[captjoekpr]

@bluesky Running into the same issue as well on Ubuntu 16.04

Wiki seems easy enough, but it looks like apache2 just defaults to find index.html instead of index.php that was created

Any other ideas?

Thanks

@x23piracy Would it not be easier just to disable the default apache site entirely? Since they are both using Port 80, would that not auto direct traffic to the Fog site?
