FOG Node setup failed

[FuriousGamer065]

I can currently creating a FOG Node for my fog server, but I can’t even get pass the setup, I am currently running on FOG 1.5.8, due to the lack of boot files for PXE boot, My FOG Node also runs 1.5.8 but the downside is, it won’t pass the setup, everything installs fine, till it gets to the point where it needs to check the connection to the fog server, it always fails. I think it’s a mysql error, but I’m not very sure. Some please help?

@FuriousGamer065 I guess you know the IP and database credentials you need to use to connect to the master node? Take a look at the FOG web UI on your master node -> FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> FOG Storage Nodes.

If you have the correct IP and credentials I can imagine a firewall might block the TCP connection on the master node.

In that directory where you run the installer (/home/fognode/Downloads/fogproject-1.5.8/bin) you find a directory “error_logs” with log files you can take a look as well. That might tell you if it’s a connection timeout (firewall or routing issue) or a login failed issue (credentials incorrect).

@sebastian-roth I disabled the firewall on the fog node and the fog server, I have tried to use the password that is listed in FOG Storage Nodes. Here is the error log file.fog_error_1.5.8.log

@FuriousGamer065 Unfortunately nothing in the error log that would help us. Please try a manual DB connection from your storage node to the master: mysql -h x.x.x.x -u fogstorage -p (using the master node’s IP instead of x.x.x.x)

@sebastian-roth It gives me a error.

@FuriousGamer065 Please try the same on the master node’s command line.

If that fails as well something is wrong with those credentials.

@sebastian-roth I’m just going to reinstall ubuntu
