Updating database Failed Error returned: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC .... 503 Service unavailable ....

Hi there!
Sorry to bother you with a problem that you have already solved for others a couple of times, but it seems that the solutions don’t work for my just installed fog server. I did set up a IBM X3650 with the newest CEntOS 7.6 version following the instructions offered by the FOG project site https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=CentOS_7#Configuring_partitions_for_FOG
The only differenz is that I disabled the internal firewall and I am not using SELinux .
The installation of the fog software was successfull and the first test went well untill it said: Image captured … done
Stopping FOG Status Reporter …done
Task Complete
Updating Database … failed
Error returned: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC*_/…
<html><head>
<title> 503 Service Unavailable </title>
uswThe first tests failed with could not complete tasking because the files /bin/fog.download and /bin fog.upload were not found.
So I searched for them on another fog server we already had in use and created them as well along with the path where they were found at the other server
/root/git/fogproject/src/buildroot/package/fog/scripts/bin/fog.upload
/root/fog_1.2.0/src/buildroot/package/fog/scripts/bin/fog.uploadand as this did not solve the problem as well directly under /bin .
The other server was recently updated from fog 1.2.0 to 1.5.4 .Creating those files helped to get further in the process of the test but
now the update f the database always fails. I observed that the image apears in /images/dev and is moved to /images and is even renamed as it should be but after the updating of the database fails the image disapears from /images again and no trace of it could be found in /images/dev eather !Ain’t that strange???
I searched the internet for related postings and found some
for example …
Wayne Workman Feb 11, 2016, 5:40 PMProblem and solution documented in the Wiki here: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshoot_FTP#Updating_Database...Failed
went through the different points and checked everything as proposed but was not able to solve the problem.
One thing I noticed was that there was a very long encrypted “password” in the .fogsettings file which was a lot shorter in the .fogsettings of the other fog server which in fact has the same password for fog. I made sure that the password is the same for the “web gui user” fog the storage default fog user and the linux fog user.
As I found a hint in the internet related to the password in the tftpd section I checked that too and found out that this was still “password”. I changed it to be the same as the other password in use but that did not help eather and comparing with the other node I saw that it was “password” too in the tftpd section. So I decided to set it back to “password”. I even tried to enter the password that I use for all fog users in plane text in the .fogsettings for"password=xxxxxxxx"
because some other guy was adviced ot take the password from the .fogsettings file and use it somewhere else to reset the password - what I did not quite understand as it is encrypted in my .fogsettings - but that made me hope that it might work the otherway round too but it did not.
I will leave office soon for today but would appreciate your support tomorrow if possible. Please let me know which config files or logs you need to analyse my little problem here. Or maybe tell me were I did something wrong according to my description here.
Kind regardsmegaadm

I am not using SELinux .
FWIW on centos selinux is enabled by default. Be sure its set to permissive mode.
The updating database error is typically related to someone changing the linux user
fog’s password so that its different than what the FOG webui has been setup for. Just as a double check run through this tutorial to ensure that the password hadn’t been tweaked. https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11203/resyncing-fog-s-service-account-passwordAlso if you connect to the fog server over FTP using the user id of
fogand the password found in the /opt/fog/.fogsettings file, then we can rule out the common problems.I assume you can still access the fog webui when it throws that error?
First check selinux status, then ensure that the linux user
fog’s password is set correctly, and then come back for the next steps. -
Hi george1421,
first 'd like to thank you very much for your quick reaction.
Your effort to help me solve my problem is highly appreciated!
Regrettably this didn’t solve my problem.
I still have the same issue the update of the mariadb still fails.
The Selinux is in permissive mode now and a check of the DB proved that the DB itself is not
showing any problem:[root@myserver ~]# mysqlcheck --all-databases fog.clientUpdates OK fog.dirCleaner OK fog.globalSettings OK fog.greenFog OK fog.groupMembers OK fog.groups OK fog.history OK fog.hookEvents OK fog.hostAutoLogOut OK fog.hostMAC OK fog.hostScreenSettings OK fog.hosts OK fog.imageGroupAssoc OK fog.imagePartitionTypes OK fog.imageTypes OK fog.images OK fog.imagingLog OK fog.inventory OK fog.ipxeTable OK fog.keySequence OK fog.moduleStatusByHost OK fog.modules OK fog.multicastSessions OK fog.multicastSessionsAssoc OK fog.nfsFailures OK fog.nfsGroupMembers OK fog.nfsGroups OK fog.notifyEvents OK fog.os OK fog.oui OK fog.plugins OK fog.powerManagement OK fog.printerAssoc OK fog.printers OK fog.pxeMenu OK fog.scheduledTasks OK fog.schemaVersion OK fog.snapinAssoc OK fog.snapinGroupAssoc OK fog.snapinJobs OK fog.snapinTasks OK fog.snapins OK fog.supportedOS OK fog.taskLog OK fog.taskStates OK fog.taskTypes OK fog.tasks OK fog.userCleanup OK fog.userTracking OK fog.users OK fog.virus OK mysql.columns_priv OK mysql.db OK mysql.event OK mysql.func OK mysql.help_category OK mysql.help_keyword OK mysql.help_relation OK mysql.help_topic OK mysql.host OK mysql.ndb_binlog_index OK mysql.plugin OK mysql.proc OK mysql.procs_priv OK mysql.proxies_priv OK mysql.servers OK mysql.tables_priv OK mysql.time_zone OK mysql.time_zone_leap_second OK mysql.time_zone_name OK mysql.time_zone_transition OK mysql.time_zone_transition_type OK mysql.user OK[root@myserver ~]#getenforce PermissiveThe ftp connection with the fog user and the fog password that I did choose for the Linux user,
the web GUI user and the storage default in the web GUI was rechecked and worked in every case.
Login to the web GUI works , ftp connection is successfull, Linux login is working .
The password in the tftpd section was set back to “password” but that doesn’t seem to make any difference.
As an additional information I add the .fogsettings for you to check (IP addresses hidden for security reasons):[root@myserver fog]# cat .fogsettings ## Start of FOG Settings ## Created by the FOG Installer ## Find more information about this file in the FOG Project wiki: ## https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=.fogsettings ## Version: 1.5.4 ## Install time: Mi 27 Mär 2019 08:36:26 CET ipaddress='X.X.X.X' copybackold='0' interface='enp3s0' submask='255.255.255.0' routeraddress='# option routers x.x.x.x;';' plainrouter='' dnsaddress='# option domain-name-servers x.x.x.x; '; username='fog' password='+7351TPXMaVv5C+geraboer3gNVVGYbJEkyusfIbmlA=' osid='1' osname='Redhat' dodhcp='y' bldhcp='1' dhcpd='dhcpd' blexports='1' installtype='N' snmysqluser='root' snmysqlpass='' snmysqlhost='localhost' installlang='0' storageLocation='/images' fogupdateloaded=1 docroot='/var/www/html/' webroot='/fog/' caCreated='yes' httpproto='http' startrange='X.X.X.X' endrange='X.X.X.X' bootfilename='undionly.kpxe' DHCP-Boot='undionly.kpxe=,X.X.X.X' packages='bc curl dhcp gcc gcc-c++ genisoimage gzip httpd lftp m4 make mariadb mariadb-server mod_ssl mtools net-tools nfs-utils php php-bcmath php-cli php-common php-fpm php-gd php-ldap php-mbstring php-mcrypt php-mysqlnd php-process syslinux tar tftp-server unzip vsftpd wget xinetd xz-devel ' noTftpBuild='' notpxedefaultfile='' sslpath='/opt/fog/snapins/ssl/' backupPath='/home/' php_ver='' php_verAdds='' sslprivkey='/opt/fog/snapins/ssl//.srvprivate.key' ## End of FOG Settings [root@myserver fog]#Any other ideas or proposals?

fogLinux user account. This is not to be fiddled with. It’s the FOG service account and it will break things if you change the password!! This account/password is different to the one you use to login to the web UI!!https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Password_Central#Local_.22fog.22_user
It’s interesting you see the “503 Service unavailable” error. Please check the apache and php-fpm logs and post here. See my signature on where to find the logs.
The other server was recently updated from fog 1.2.0 to 1.5.4 .
Please tell us which FOG version you run on this particular server you have the error with.

Good day.
Did you get any resolution for this problem?
I have Fog 1.5.7 on CentOS 7 with the specified partition sizes. All other settings as default, firewall and SELinux are disabled. My image name is W10E.
I get the same results as you did, also with the image files appearing in the /images/dev folder, then in /images/W10E and then disappearing again.
I sort of got around it by copying the /W10E folder to /W10E (copy), wait for /W10E to disappear and then rename the copy as /W10E. And I can deploy this image, absolutely no problem.
Many thanks
