Apache problems

Kevin

what OS are you trying to install FOG on? Also, you could try to chmod 644 the /usr/sbin/sysv-rc-conf file since it’s a permission issue and see if that improves the install. What it sounds like is a corrupt Apache install though. Hopefully chmodding the file will help push you past that file.

Adam Kohnert

I am installing on ubuntu 11.10 and if you could, please help me with the line for chmod, never seen that before, sorry for my illiteracy

Kevin

not a problem, and nothing to be sorry about. All you would need to do is type:

[CODE]sudo chmod 644 /usr/sbin/sysv-rc-conf[/CODE]

that will for the permissions to change on the file

Adam Kohnert

Thanks for the help on that, I ran it and now i get to the same point and get this

" * Setting up and starting Apache Web Server…/lib/ubuntu/functions.sh: line 391: /usr/sbin/sysv-rc-conf: Permission denied
…Failed! "

Kevin

I would try the chmod command again with 777 this time and see if that makes a difference

Adam Kohnert

It doesn’t, now it is back to the previous error. I have installed fog previously and this time was different as i had to sudo almost every pack such as tftpd-hpa to get it to this point, i don’t know if that is part of this issue?

Kevin

i’ve run into that once or twice before, each time I just re-installed the OS and gave it another go. Not sure what causes that to happen from time to time.

Adam Kohnert

Okay i will do that, what is the OS that you currently see to work best?

Kevin

It comes down to personal preference. I personally build all my servers on the latest LTS (Long Term Support) versions of Ubuntu. So my servers are all being built on 12.04 LTS. Being that it’s a dedicated server, I don’t always need the latest, greatest features, so the LTS works for my needs. However, you will find a lot of people here like CentOS. I want to say that this is supported by Red Hat, but is the free version of the enterprise OS. Personally, i’ve tried it, but i’m used to Ubuntu, so that’s what I stick with. I also have a lot of other tools not related to FOG that i’ve compiled and know to work well with Ubuntu which is another reason I pick it. So personally, you could ask 20 people what they use, and you might get 20 different answers. The best answer is, use what you are comfortable with and with what you like. If you are relatively new to Linux however, I would recommend Ubuntu, Fedora, or CentOS for installing FOG.

Adam Kohnert

I completely wiped out my computer, installed ubuntu 12.04, installed updates, ran the fog install, and I get to the point where I have to manually install every package by running sudo apt-get php5 and so on down the list for every package, I have never experienced this before and don’t know what the problem could be at this point

Kevin

you shouldn’t have to install anything when you’re installing FOG. It should install everything it needs. Just to verify, are you running the installfog.sh with the sudo command?

I installed FOG 0.32 on Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS and it worked at the first try without any problems. You may try that one.

Adam Kohnert

it Bash’s with the sudo,

Adam Kohnert

Here is what we did:

Reformatted our computer with Ubuntu 11.04 and downloaded FOG 0.32
Then
Attemped to install FOG, and ran into several “fails”. Such as apache errors, php2 errors and several others.

Then:
Formatted the computer with 12.04 and downloaded FOG 0.32
Then
Attempted to install FOG, and still ran into several “fails”. All of which were the same errors as before.

Could it be possible that the version of FOG that we have been downloading is bad or missing files? We did have it working at one time, but we ran into some errors with DHCP. We now have a computer just for DHCP, meaning that the only thing on it is Windows Server 2008 and a separate computer just for FOG.

Any help at this point would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

Adam & Kyle

Can you run an MD5 check on the fog_0.32.tar.gz file? This will tell you instantly if you have a bad copy of FOG.

The MD5 should be: 45b323d4150690b9c1aa8288c33830c9

to do this type: [B]sudo apt-get install md5deep[/B]

Then just enter: [B]md5deep /path to your fog_0.32.tar.gz file [/B]If even off by 1 byte, that number will be completely different.

Adam Kohnert

Well I did what you said and here was the result:

fogclone@fogclone-OptiPlex-GX520:~$ md5deep /home/fogclone/Desktop/fog_0.32.tar.gz
45b323d4150690b9c1aa8288c33830c9 /home/fogclone/Desktop/fog_0.32.tar.gz

Then I tried installing FOG and this is what it shows:

it still looks like it’s not liking the user account that you are running, that you don’t have elevated privileges. Also, are you installing/upgrading software when trying to install FOG?

E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)

That makes me think that something in Ubuntu is trying to update files as well at the same time, and Ubuntu definitely does not like that. But that could also point to a permission issue.

Do you receive the exact same errors from above when you run the command [B]sudo ./installfog.sh[/B]? Or do you still receive the same errors? i.e.

(
This installation script should be run as
user “root”. You are currenly running
as fogclone.

E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?

)

If any of those are different if the command is running as sudo, it may give me a better idea of what’s breaking. If you are running it as sudo, then we may have to change the root password, just to try and see if something got messed up with that account.

Adam Kohnert

We are up and running, it seems i’m a little lack on reading directions… I ran it in “root” like it says to and it ran perfectly

Adam Kohnert

THANKS for all of the help, you people are life savers!!!

Kevin

Glad to hear you got it working.
