database created problem

@lsdingo said in database created problem:

centos 6.10

Are you SURE its 6.10? If so that’s not supported by FOG as well as Red Hat. One might hope that you are using 7.x over 6.x.

Please run this command cat /etc/redhat-release and post the results.

@lsdingo While George is absolutely right about the version information you might want to try to fix your database. Seems like it got somehow corrupted when doing an upgrade. Run mysql_upgrade -uroot -p and if that doesn’t help try mysql_upgrade --force -uroot -p (ref)

Hey I actually tried installing it on a different machine (Ubuntu 16.04) this time
which obviously works better but I’m still having what I believe issues that related to the database (not really sure though)

I get: db cant open /etc/target
and also could not find partitions /bin/fog.upload

also some /var/log/syslog from the fog server:

I’ve checked in google and saw that just changing the path in the configuration files should maybe do it but none said which conf file I should edit.
could you please advise ?
fond regards,
Tal

This is just a warning, not an error!

and also could not find partitions /bin/fog.upload

From my point of view this is not pointing to a database error. It means that FOG cannot find your disk in the client machine. Create a new upload task but check the box for debug. Boot the client and when you get to the shell type lsblk -> take a picture and post here.

Which version of FOG did you install???

[lsdingo]

@Sebastian-Roth Hey,
how would I check which version I have? I installed the latest stable version.
also I don’t have the option for debugging

@lsdingo Log into the web UI and you’ll see the version number in the bottom right corner. On the other hand, if you see a light blue colored cloud on the FOG web UI login screen that would mean you have FOG 1.2.0 which is very very old.

Anyhow, all the version had the debug option. See here:

@Sebastian-Roth
its Version 1.5.5
and I don’t have these options. I went to fog settings and expended all.
I ticked ‘TASKING ADV DEBUG ENABLED’ but I think this is not it.

please advise mate
regards

[Sebastian Roth]

@lsdingo The setting is when you create a new task!

[lsdingo]

@Sebastian-Roth Okay, managed to find it

[Sebastian Roth]

@lsdingo Well, there is your answer. There are no partitions on this disk. There is nothing FOG can upload/capture.

Should an OS be installed on this (VM) disk? From my point of view it’s not!
