Storage Management not showing my images

[michaeloberg]

@george1421 Again I know little about Linux so maybe I am just not familiar with the syntax to open/edit the .fogsettings
Sorry and thanks for your help, I am loosing sleep over this.

@michaeloberg the . before a file makes the file “hidden”.

To view the file you would use the command ls -a I would think. Most commonly people use ls -la

@michaeloberg I just sent you a IM look for the little talk bubble on the forum tool tray.

to edit you can use vi (only if you are a crazy old guy like me) or gedit if you are using the graphical front end for linux.

@michaeloberg This is resolved!
Thanks @george1421

@george1421 The short answer was the fog (linux) user and .fogsettings were consistent but the ftp password in the storage node configuration in the GUI was incorrect. We resyn’d everything and tested to ensure that fog could log in with a new putty session to the FOG server.

@george1421 Could you send me the syntax we used today to look @ the .fogsettings as again I am a Linux novice, I am going to make note of this.
Thanks again!
Mike

@michaeloberg well if you just want to look at it more < /opt/fog/.fogsettings

Old guys like me like to use vi vi /opt/fog/.fogsettings but you have to be a bit insane to use vi if you are a linux novice. (hint: esc : q to exit vi)

FWIW in linux terms any file name that starts with a dot ( . ) is a hidden file (i.e. .fogsettings). You can list hidden files with this command in the current directory ls -la that will show you long format ( -l ) and all files ( -a )

@george1421 Thank you guys! This is the simply the best imaging solution out there!

@Tom-Elliott So my FOG server is operating correctly now, what is the upgrade path and how do I go to 1.3.5? most important is this going to mess anything up now that I have everything running?

[george1421]

@michaeloberg use the Git method here to upgrade: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_to_trunk
No it shouldn’t mess up your current installation. If you want it to break your current setup, just let me know and I will show you how.
