@dpotesta50 Just delete that directory and re-clone fog. Here are steps: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Getting_FOG
-
@wayne-workman I really don’t want to do that. I did not set this up. The engineering before me did and it works for existing images. I just cant get new images uploaded to it. I’m afraid with my extreme lack of knowledge, deleting the directory will be catastrophic.
-
@dpotesta50 Well my advice is solid, and all I can really do here is give you advice. Here’s the command to delete that directory:
sudo rm -rf /root/fogproject_git
After that, follow along with the “Getting FOG” article. -
@wayne-workman oh I don’t deny your advice at all and are grateful for your help. Believe me. VERY grateful. Is what your instructing me to do just deleting the installation folder to rebuild it, or the actual installed application?
-
@wayne-workman The FOG program I have installed needs updating. Will doing this do the same as a re-installation would?
-
@dpotesta50 said in Resyncing FOG’s service account password:
The FOG program I have installed needs updating
What do you mean by that?
-
@sebastian-roth The program itself is saying there is a newer version available for download. If I updated the FOG program to the latest version, will it resolve my password issues?

This is just the installation files. the actual FOG installation is literally all over the OS in lots of other places.
-
@wayne-workman If the app I’m running is an older version, will this install the latest version of the installation files?

Yes, but ‘latest version’ lacks context here. Fog has branches, which is explained in the ‘Getting FOG’ article. The master branch has the latest stable version, which is 1.4.4 as of December 2017.

Yep.
-
@wayne-workman We’re running 1.5.0.RC-8
-
@dpotesta50 said in Resyncing FOG’s service account password:
We’re running 1.5.0.RC-8
Then in the ‘Getting FOG’ instructions, you need to use the dev-branch. dev-branch is currently 1.5 rc10.
-
@wayne-workman I need to figure something else out. I just do NOT understand FOG or Linux at all.
