Image task not going through

@tom-elliott

Change interface from n to enp5s0 on storage management?

[Tom Elliott]

@jackiejack You can though that should only impact the fog services and multicast (more particularly).

[JackieJack]

@tom-elliott what about that php file line 1046 error? I don’t think I saw those before I did george passwd reset.

[Tom Elliott]

@jackiejack The only thing I can think of here is the 1046 error you’re seeing is in regards to FTP. The line your file is referencing is literally:

            if ($fields[3]) {

What this tells me is the field it’s working on isn’t defined, so it’s more a warning than an error. If I had to guess, however, your password for the storage node is not accurate and you should really be seeing something to the tune of “Unable to authenticate.” I base this on the fact that it’s showing the host/username but failing to show the password.

I suppose it’s also possible the /home/fog folder is missing?

[JackieJack]

@tom-elliott /home/fog is there and empty.

I went to storage management and then on DefaultMember and pasted the password from the .fogconfig file twice. The second time using private browsing. I am thinking to do over george’s stuff again but change the password on the .fogconfig to something really stupidly simple.

[JackieJack]

but interface is enp5s0

is that okay? click y (I changed the password to something simple.)

[Tom Elliott]

@jackiejack Change the interface setting in the /opt/fog/.fogsettings file to match that of the interface for your device.

[JackieJack]

@tom-elliott ooookay so what I did was hit N for no, then changed .fogsettings to enp5s0
re ran installer, now went to
http://192.168.26.110/fog/management
to update database

nothing there, so came back to terminal and keep hitting enter but nothing is happening. It’s hanging right there.

[Tom Elliott]

@jackiejack Click in the terminal, then press enter.

When you see the button right Rectangle that’s not all black, it means the window is currently not focused, at least not directly.

[JackieJack]

@tom-elliott sir it’s black, that screenshot not focused. Hit enter how many times no work

[Tom Elliott]

@jackiejack What changed between when you ran it before to now? It seems maybe you could close the terminal, and open a new one? Then try? I’m only guessing. Nothing from fog’s installer perspective has changed.

[JackieJack]

@tom-elliott yes it worked. Running next clone fresh win 10 no smart installer

Thank you for your patience.

[JackieJack]

Have a single disk but no mulitple partitions
Choose multiple partition single disk not resizable?

[JackieJack]

Same error could not complete tasking /bin/fog.upload

[JackieJack]

I set up my centos server like this don’t know if it will cause error

[Sebastian Roth]

@JackieJack I am sorry but what you tell is mostly very short and therefore unclear or possibly misleading.

Have a single disk but no mulitple partitions
Choose multiple partition single disk not resizable?

and

yes it worked. Running next clone fresh win 10 no smart installer

This is a great example. What the he** do you mean by that? I’d really like to help you and I am sure others would say the same but how on earth should we know what you mean if don’t use more words to explain.

I really don’t mean to offend. Hope you don’t mind.

[JackieJack]

@sebastian-roth The nerve of your…
Okay, when creating the image definition, I choose “multiple partition single disk not resizable”, even though I have a single disk single partition. I did not choose single partition option as that has resizable in it. I am of the understanding that resizable is a no no. It is not as safe a bet as non resizable.

I was asking for confirmation if I can choose multiple partition, in image def, even though I don’t have multiple partitions.

The ‘yes it worked’ was Tom’s advice to continue my ./installfog.sh. When I changed the password to something simple in .fogsettings, and changed it everywhere else - fog account, storage managment node - I reran ./installfog.sh to “realign the remaining bits” as george put it. When it asked to update database schema, and hit enter, the enter button stopped working so to speak. It was not registering. So, I opened a new terminal (as Tom suggested) and ran ./installfog.sh and this time the everything went through. Hit enter button at mysql update.

But, still getting the same
could not complete tasking /bin/fog.upload

As a matter of fact, I’m thinking about installing fog tomorrow in the lab - on ubuntu

[JackieJack]

I’m thinking, should I put a password for mysql? It does say reattempting to update database - on the host screen just after cloning is done

[Sebastian Roth]

@JackieJack Thanks for the detailed information. Things start to make sense again. Don’t have enough time for a full answer right now. So this is just a quick one for now, more later.

The update database retry sounds like a mysql password/login issue. Search for our mysql troubleshoting article in the wiki and for “ubuntu enemy” in the forum. That should help you fix that issue.

Sure a clearer install will always help but learning how to debug, find and fix issues is worth the time spend…

[Tom Elliott]

The message is failing to update the database because of the error it’s showing (Undefined index), though it seems more related to the update itself. Can you please provide the apache error logs in regards to the now “undefined” index you’re seeing? It may help us pinpoint exactly where the issue is. This, also, with the apache access logs so we know exactly what url is being called. The fact that the error is showing for fogcontroller.class.php is semi-irrelevant as all base classes route through the fogcontroller class.
