Problem with Fog 1.3.5 install-- Setting up and Starting MySql...........FAILED! :(

[Tom Elliott]

@safari2010 Forgive me for being obstinate, but knowing the full information is far more useful than partial bits.

Know that i know this, I’d suggest as @george1421 is suggesting. Also, getting us the installer’s error log would be very useful.

@george1421 Hi I tried this solution… I hit the same issue.

@safari2010 woudl you mind installing the working branch now?

I added Mint to the “ubuntu” lists, and this hopefully will mean things will work for you natively now.

git checkout working
git pull
cd bin
./installfog.sh -y

[Tom Elliott]

So not really a “bug” as Mint wasn’t natively supported. However, I have now incorporated Linux Mint support to the installers.

@Wayne-Workman If you wanted to create a linux mint installer to your automated tests we should be able to do so now. It works alongside of Ubuntu so shouldn’t be too hard to integrate.

[Wayne Workman]

@Tom-Elliott I grabbed a copy of their Xfce, I’ll get it worked in.

[safari2010]

Aloha and Mahalo Tom and George1421!

Your instructions worked and now we are able to use fog here in Hawaii!

Commands I used for those having issues:

sudo -i

sudo apt-get update && apt-get install git

git clone https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject.git /opt/fogproject
cd /opt/fogproject

git checkout working
git pull
cd bin
./installfog.sh

[george1421]

@safari2010 If you send the plane tickets, I will personally come out and inspect your FOG setup if you like

Just be aware that this command will install the working branch (think of it as alpha code). You probably only want to use this branch if instructed by one of the developers.
git checkout working

And this command will get the latests Release Candidate (RC) release
git checkout dev-branch

And finally this one is for the stable releases
git checkout master

Just be aware that FOG 1.4.0 (stable) was released over this past weekend

[Tom Elliott]

@george1421 ME TOO? lol.

[safari2010]

@Tom-Elliott and @george1421 — perhaps if we get some extra funding That said, if you come to hawaii for a conference. Hit me up and i will be happy to show you the beautiful Big Island!!!

Again, Thank you for all you do!

[safari2010]

@george1421 @Tom-Elliott

So sorry, I thought this was done- but using the git checkout master or git checkout working im getting fail on PHP5.

OS is Linux 18.1 32 bit.

At this point I will try using UBUNTU. I’m thinking this maybe a Mint issue

How do I post an error log here? It says there is character limit so I can paste it there.

Thank You.

[Tom Elliott]

@safari2010 It should work.

You can just get the last few lines of the error logs to post here as that’s where the error most likely occurs.

I assure you, however, it does work and installs properly according to our nightly tests.

Moving to Ubuntu will work, but if you’re willing to make the move, I’d suggest using Debian, CentOS, or Fedora as the base os for the server. Ubuntu has its own set of problems that will seemingly come from you doing nothing.

[safari2010]

Thanks Tom. OK I will use Fedora. Ive attached some screenshots, is this typical? This is with ubuntu (i will change to fedora after this)

Im seeing this in other OS but this is a clean install using a empty VM, so Im not sure what its referring too about apache2. I dont recall seeing this error before. I did manage to get it running just once.

Thanks,
Francis

[safari2010]

@Tom-Elliott

So Im getting this now when I install, this is under master and working checkouts’

Somehow the install fails.

Last few lines from the past failures-- looks like its pointing to PHP.
