Hello,

i have to upgrade a FOG 1.2 to the latest version (1.4.x) on ubuntu 15.10

When i do the ./installfog.sh i got an error, at the end:

“stopping web service……Failed!”

I saw the other posts about this problems but i didnt really understand what was the solution. What i understand is that i need php7 but ubuntu15.10 can’t delivery this package, so i’m stuck.

What’s the solution ? Upgrade to 16.04 ?

Thanks

Yes. Upgrade to 16.04, or even downgrade. PHP that needs to be installed only works with “LTS” versions of Ubuntu. I believe ondrej even supports the most current Ubuntu version when the repo is setup for this, but LTS is where things remain operational .

Ok,

Since i don’t really know how work the downgrade or the upgrade of ubuntu (lost of the data etc…), i think i will just export the database, group, host, ImageManagement and /images and do a fresh install on an other distribution.

Is it possible to import fog1.2 database to a fog 1.4.x ?

Thanks

It is, fog will update the db to current. you will need to adjust some settings afterwards. Such as ip, and passwords. Details on these are at the bottom of this article: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Migrate_FOG
