Changing fog server IP address problems

Your posting here:
http:////fog//maintenance/backup_db.php: Invalid host name.

Notice how there’s no hostname?

You should have an ipaddress in your /opt/fog/.fogsettings file. Is this defined for your machine?

Great eyes, I just saw that too. That is the key to why it’s not working.

@xcvtop said in Changing fog server IP address problems:

• Server IP Address:
• Server Subnet Mask:
• Interface: eth0

And I still think ipaddress is blank in /opt/fog/.fogsettings

@tom-elliott
IP address is there

## Created by the FOG Installer
## Version: 1.3.5
## Install time: Thu 10 Mar 2016 15:28:32 GMT

Ipaddress='10.160.240.60'
interface='eth0'
routeraddress='# option routers x.x.x.x;'
plainrouter=''
dnsaddress='option domain-name-servers 127.0.1.1;'
dnsbootimage='127.0.1.1'

@xcvtop I wrote a tool that updates the IP: https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-community-scripts/tree/master/updateIP

@xcvtop Change Ipaddress to ipaddress

[Tom Elliott]

@wayne-workman His ipaddress variable is incorrect. I don’t know if your script would fix that.

[Wayne Workman]

@tom-elliott It would. My script only needs the system IP address to already be correct. It makes fog use whatever is set.
