Fogupdater.sh "Attempting Download Failed" for all mirrors

[Quazz]

@lmioperations installfog.sh takes into account current installations and simply updates to the newest version without changing any settings or the like.

You can substitute dev-branch for master

Thanks for the info Tom. Can you confirm answers for the questions that I asked Quazz?

@lmioperations As @quazz stated, the only thing the “updater script” does different from the installfog.sh from a repository is download the data, extract it, cd into it, and run the installfog.sh

FOG automatically updates itself if it’s already been installed. Nothing will be “blown away”

[lmioperations]

Thanks for the info guys - I didn’t see Quazz’s reply before I asked; sorry 'bout that :-S

I don’t have a “fogproject” folder under “/root”. Am I supposed to create it? The wiki doesn’t specifically say…

@lmioperations If you are following the wiki when you run the git command that directory will be created for you.

[lmioperations]

Ah, my bad. I thought that, since I already have FOG installed, I was supposed to skip to the section called “Update to the latest”. I didn’t realize I still have to do the initial checkout and installation. Thanks for confirming George!

Prior to starting this thread, I was nervous about the install (based on the horror stories I was seeing in various communities online; including this one).

Thanks again for the quick responses and info guys! The update went real smooth and everything is functioning exactly as expected!

This thread can be marked as “solved” : )

@lmioperations Well now you are set for the next update (lurking around the corner very soon). You will now return to the /root/fogproject and do a git pull and then run the installer again to freshen your installed image.

Well that concerns me a bit there are negative posts out there. Yes there can be problems (especially when the linux distro changes stuff without notice), but that is why we are here in the fog project to help IT admins deploy FOG and help identify issues when they come up. FOG IS insanely complex using multiple other open source technologies. Its a delicate dance to keep everything in step.

Glad you have it going
