@george1421 And this is from Master branch I take it? As this is what shows up, now, for the dev-branch and working-1.6

"DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE user='$fogstoragenodeuser'",
"CREATE USER '$fogstoragenodeuser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '$fogstoragenodepass'",
"GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `" . DATABASE_NAME . "`.* TO '$fogstoragenodeuser'@'%'",

Master is not as far forward as dev-branch is.

[george1421]

@Tom-Elliott I’m still pecking at it. But this is what I know so far.
This is failing

GRANT USAGE ON 'fog'.* TO 'fogstorage'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'fs55548845957';

But I can get the same results with.

create user 'fogstorage'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'fs55548845957';
grant all on fog.* to 'fogstorage'@'%';

It was throwing an error on the grant all with single quotes around fog in fog.*

[Tom Elliott]

@george1421 Probably need to delete the user entirely.

[george1421]

@Tom-Elliott I switched to working is that not the right one?

[Tom Elliott]

@george1421 working-1.6 or dev-branch are the branches you should be on. I don’t think we have a branch named just working anymore.

@Tom-Elliott said in Blank Install Page:

SHOW GRANTS FOR fogstorage;

in catching up I got the same SQL errors

Running the show grants does this

mysql> SHOW GRANTS FOR fogstorage;
ERROR 1141 (42000): There is no such grant defined for user 'fogstorage' on host '%'

in trying to re run the command in the browser
GRANT ALL ON `fog`.* TO 'fogstorage'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'fs94543688031'

I get this

@dsoden hold on, we found something and fixed something else. Tom and I are chatting at the moment. The 1.6 beta installs (almost) correctly on centos 8 1905

[Tom Elliott]

@dsoden Mind ensuring your running on dev-branch?

The IDENTIFIED BY line has been moved from the GRANT line to it’s own line due to CentOS 8 having a version of Mysql that’s’ newer. We have to separate the generation of the user.

@george1421 and I are chatting in the background, we haven’t just left things alone, just need realtime assist.

[dsoden]

@Tom-Elliott @george1421 all good then Ill check back after a period of time.
I’m using the public download version again because nothing was working.
kinda getting lost where I’m suppose to be. Once you have things sorted let me know and Ill run a full clean test on my side - thanks!

[george1421]

@dsoden Where you are at right now exit out of the installer and open mysql -u root -p

Then clean up the residue.

DROP USER IF EXISTS 'fogstorage'@'%';
DROP DATABASE fog;

Then switch back to the root of the fogproject that was downloaded.
and issue this command git checkout working-1.6

then change back to bin
and rerun the fog installer. You will see an error message about the firewall, but just go past that for the moment.

[Tom Elliott]

The public download is meant to be stable, but please remember that 1.5.7 was released a few months ago (before CentOS 8|RH was even available.

If you can do git please run:

git clone https://github.com/fogproject/fogproject.git /opt/fogprojectgit
cd fogprojectgit
git checkout dev-branch
git pull
cd bin
./installfog.sh

You will be able to pull the fixes we put in by simply:

cd /opt/fogprojectgit
git pull # this pulls in any updates pushed out
cd bin
./installfog.sh -y

[dsoden]

@Tom-Elliott - sorry it took so long to get back to you.

I did a new fresh install of centos server no gui (my default) - up till now for installing this product I used server the GUI just in case I needed it.

here are my observations and steps.

• yum git install
• git clone https://github.com/fogproject/fogproject.git /opt/fogprojectgit
• /opt/fogprojectgit/bin/installfog.sh (no switch as its a new install for this new OS install)

obs: the reason my previous install had installed a bridge is because when installed the OS I forgot in virturalbox to change the network to bridged from NAT. I assume when set to NAT CentOS installs the bridge. With that being said I no longer had 2 interfaces to choose from. The installer still asked but when I said NO it went on as expected. not sure if something is actually fixed here or if simply eliminating 2 potential IO choices fixed the issue meaning there could still be issues here.

Rest of install went smooth - however a new issue and here is how I found it. I reached the point for the schema web based install and the page never loaded - same 500 error, so ran the command you posted earlier

ls: cannot access '/var/log/php-fpm/www-error.log': No such file or directory
[root@fogserver ~]# ls  /var/log/php-fpm
error.log
[root@fogserver ~]# cat /var/log/php-fpm/error.log

[02-Nov-2019 10:48:03] NOTICE: ready to handle connections
[02-Nov-2019 10:48:03] NOTICE: systemd monitor interval set to 10000ms

the error log file name changed - however no error - happy about that but baffled too.
next I ran on the server (remember no GUI) wget and the URL and I got the index.html page and ran cat on it. Looks promising so why in the hell can I not see it on my PC?

Then it dawned on me the installer detected and asked to dissable SELinux but never asked about the firewall and systemctl status firewalld showed Active: active (running). systemctl stop firewalld and re ran the status and it off. BAM! now I can hit the web page to run the installation.

back to the same issues (not knowing what code was fixed or tweaked - was not sure what to expect)

So that’s where I am at and whats happened - not sure what else I was suppose to do or test.

[dsoden]

@Tom-Elliott als for got to mention before I ran wget on the server to get to the install web page I ran

dnf -y install php-json

I was not sure if this fix was in the release from git - when I saw no change I then went on to realize it was a firewall issue. however it could still have needed this command too I do not know as I did not know about the firewall issue. Ideally I would have dissabled and only run the above if it was still failing or there was errors in the log - which never got a chance to log anything due to the firewall (chicken and the egg

[george1421]

@dsoden With the error you received you missed a command in both Tom’s and my post to switch from the main branch (that came out before centos 8 was released) to the 1.6. dev branch (which was last updated just a few days ago) by issuing this command between the git clone and the installfog.sh

git checkout dev-branch

With out that command the fog installer will in stall 1.5.7 and that error will be generated. That is the same mistake I made when I setup the test install of Centos 8 in my environment.

[dsoden]

@george1421 restored base install snap and red-ownloaded then switched to the dev-branch. confirmed by

cat .git/HEAD
ref: refs/heads/dev-branch

re-ran installer

• firewall still not being detected after detection of SELinux and prompt to disable, which later causes problems non locally.
• install seams to be taking considerably longer (~double the original time - not that I care as it’s working) just bring it up in case there is value in it.

I tried to hit the page and could not but once I stopped the firewall it works externally as expected and the install finished as expected - no need to manually run the below either - YEA!

dnf -y install php-json

[Tom Elliott]

@dsoden the dev-branch and working-1.6 already adds PHP-Json for OSVersion > 7. May need a bit more refining to ensure all is well with our fedora users. The error you presented was due to CentOS 8 moving to have php-json as a module separate from php-common as was done in the past. (The json error you saw.). Once that was fixed I knew you pulled master as the GRANT ALL in dev-branch and working-1.6 does not have the IDENTIFIED BY in the same line anymore, specifically because of there error you saw in trying to install it.

I haven’t nailed down the firewalld issue as we do have a command trying to disable this already, but it seems to be failing.

[george1421]

@dsoden said in Blank Install Page:

firewall still not being detected after detection of SELinux and prompt to disable, which later causes problems non locally.

I ran into the same issue the second time I setup a centos 8 server, but I know from the fog install prerequisites that selinux needs to be set to permissive and firewalld needs to be stopped before FOG is installed. So when it got to that point in the installer I noted it, but it continued without complaints. When I have time I was going to reverse engineer why the firewall’s state wasn’t being detected in centos 8, but decided to spend my weekend not hovering around my computer (til now).
