Apache problems

[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?

[madeyem]

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:
Version: 0.32 Installer/Updater

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

[Kevin]

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

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.

[Adam Kohnert]

Well we ran into a problem!

It worked when I was in my office, then we moved to the LMC and attempted to grab an image from a computer and this is what we get:

It looks like you pointed FOG to use another DHCP server other than itself, at least from the config above. Is that correct? If you did, you need to specify options 66 and 67 in the DHCP scope of a Windows server. If you use a Linux server, you need to specify the next-server. If you receive a PXE-E32, it’s usually due to your machine not being able to contact the TFTP server due to it not being specified correctly on the DHCP server.

[Adam Kohnert]

I thought I set it up correctly

That all looks to be right. Try restarting the TFTP service on FOG [B]sudo service tftpd-hpa restart [/B]

[Adam Kohnert]

WOAH!!! LOOK!!![ATTACH=full]240[/ATTACH]

[Kevin]

Glad to see you got the imaging working. Did restarting the service solve this issue, or did you need to change something else?

[Adam Kohnert]

Restarting the service worked perfect! Thanks for all the help
