1.4.1 Unable to register host (/bin/fog.man.reg)

[Tom Elliott]

It doesn’t appear you have two installs of FOG. I purposely make a link from /var/www/fog to /var/www/html/fog, but in some older system cases the link was unable to be used. So some instances would work from /var/www/fog and /var/www/html/fog. If the link didn’t exist, it was possible to have two links together.

Can you try:

sudo -i #enter logged in user's password if needed
rm /var/www/html/fog #confirm as needed)
mv /var/www/{,html/}fog
ln -s /var/www/{html/,}fog

@Tom-Elliott Commands went through successfully.

I’m still getting the same error and automatic computer reboot though.

Edit: If I add the host manually into FOG, I get repeated messages saying “failed to check in” on the host. This does not stop until you hold the power button.

@Tom-Elliott I ran those commands and tried to re-register, but no change in the result.

Quick fix:

FOG Configuration Page->FOG Settings->Web Server->FOG_WEB_ROOT please set to /fog/ and update.

This should fix the problem for you.

I’ll try to get a fix pushed for fresh installs.

@Tom-Elliott

Fixed for my fresh install!

Please like all of @george1421. His testing helped me see the error directly. Sorry it was hard to see it.

The quick fix is only intended for those who fresh installed. In 1.4.2 it should not happen anymore.

Can confirm as well that worked. Thank you!
