Downloading binaries needed..... Failed!

nvdp2002

Hi All,

I am trying to install fog on UBUNTU server 18.04.02 and everything seems to be running fine until the last line.

“Downloading Binaries needed … Failed!”

I followed some instructions about checking the proxy and changing the Mysql password.

The fog version im using 1.5.5

Any help or prod in the right direction will be much appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Nasser

@nvdp2002 Did you setup your linux console command line parameters to use a proxy server? These are typically added to your profile bash script, or executed manually in each session.

export http_proxy=http://<proxy_server_ip>:<proxy_server_port>
export https_proxy=http://<proxy_server_ip>:<proxy_server_port>
export ftp_proxy=http://<proxy_server_ip>:<proxy_server_port>
export no_proxy=<fog_server_ip>

@nvdp2002 Do you have a direct Internet connection or going through a proxy?

nvdp2002

Hi,

Thanks for the help.

Its going through a proxy.

Kind Regards,

@george1421 Hi thanks. No not that. I’ve only added proxy details through the UI. Sounds like what you are saying is i need to invoke those setting in the terminal session as well.
Ive run the export command now before running the install.
Its in the process now. Ill let you know how it turns out.

Hi George,

So i ran export command for “http_proxy” and “no_proxy”. We dont have a proxy for ftp specifically.
I still ended up with the “failed” line at the end.

@nvdp2002 You may also need the https line. If you key those in per session (instead of adding them to the profile) you will need to key them in for each session.

Does your proxy server require authentication or is it a straight proxy?

You can test if the proxy settings work correctly by issuing this command (assuming that wget is installed in your linux OS)
wget https://fogproject.org/kernels/Kernel.TomElliott.4.19.6.64

That will download the latest kernel to the current directory on your fog server. You don’t need the file, its just to test to ensure the proxy connection is working correctly

@george1421 Its a straight proxy. No authentication.
So i tried 2 ways. one with the https and one without.
the result without is :

–2019-04-26 10:09:19-- https://fpgproject.org/kernels/kernel.TomElliot.4.19.6.64
Resolving fpgproject.org (fpgproject.org)… failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address ‘fpgproject.org’

The one with https is:

–2019-04-26 10:14:51-- https://fpgproject.org/kernels/kernel.TomElliot.4.19.6.64
Resolving e.e.mcorp.com (e.e.mcorp.com)… failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address ‘e.e.mcorp.com’

So i went and entered the http proxy directly into the settings and got a bit further.

What i get now is :
wget https://fogproject.org/kernels/kernel.TomElliot.4.19.6.64
–2019-04-26 15:58:03-- https://fogproject.org/kernels/kernel.TomElliot.4.19.6.64

Retrying.

That mean anything to you?

@nvdp2002 You keep having typos in the URLs! Try copy&paste this one: wget https://fogproject.org/kernels/Kernel.TomElliott.4.19.6.64

It’s “Elliott” (with two t’s) and “Kernel.” (with uppercase k)…

nvdp2002

@Sebastian-Roth well that’s embarrassing…
Sorry.
I copied and pasted now and this is the result.

wget https://fogproject.org/kernels/Kernel.TomElliott.4.19.6.64

@nvdp2002 in this same session you keyed in the wget command

set | grep proxy

It almost appears to not be using the proxy variables.

It has to work because our fog server is behind a proxy too and I don’t have issues.

nvdp2002

@Sebastian-Roth Just wanted to add that after the last test i tried to put the address direct into the browser and it downloaded without issues.

nvdp2002

@george1421 Just wanted to let you know it can connect now. The HTTPS proxy was nonstandard. Thanks for taking the time to help with this. Ill let you know if the install completes this time. Thank you very much.

nvdp2002

@Sebastian-Roth Hi. Seems to be working now. Thanks for your time. Its very much appreciated. Ill let you know how the install goes this time round.

nvdp2002

@george1421 Hi.
So your file come through fine
$ wget https://fogproject.org/kernels/Kernel.TomElliott.4.19.6.64

But i still get the binaries failed line when running the install.

So close…

@nvdp2002 The installer uses curl instead of wget but both usually make use of the same environment variables. Please try this:

curl -ko /tmp/Kernel.TomElliott.4.19.6.64 https://fogproject.org/kernels/Kernel.TomElliott.4.19.6.64

nvdp2002

@Sebastian-Roth Hi, That worked aswell.

$ curl -ko /tmp/Kernel.TomElliott.4.19.6.64 https://fogproject.org/kernels/Kernel.TomElliott.4.19.6.64

george1421

@nvdp2002 So if curl is working then so should the fog installer. It is still failing?

nvdp2002

@george1421 Yes still failing.
This was the last line in the log file:
Apr 29 12:33:54 vmubuntu systemd[1]: Starting MySQL Community Server…
Apr 29 12:33:55 vmubuntu systemd[1]: Started MySQL Community Server.
ERROR 1396 (HY000) at line 1: Operation ALTER USER failed for ‘root’@‘127.0.0.1’

Does that help ?

george1421

@nvdp2002 well now that tells us you got passed the downloading issue and now for some reason mysql is giving you a problem.

Since you are running on ubuntu, I guess we can assume that this issue is coming into play. https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10006/ubuntu-is-fog-s-enemy

The issue is fog assumes that the root user shouldn’t have a password where if it does the mysql commands will fail. Ubuntu is changing the default when an update is applied so fog is now out of sync with what ubuntu installed.
