      I will be building a new server as I think I am now really pushing the edges with Ubuntu 16.04.6. Would you know how easy is it to copy over the settings from the old fog server to the new one bearing in mind that they will be the same version. Or is better just to start again? I have lots of settings and groups etc etc.

        Take a backup of the database (mysqldump) as well as all everything you find in /images and /opt/fog and you are good to go. With that in hand you can get FOG up and ready for production again in no time.

        Actually you can already start the fresh install on a different IP address. Check to see if everything works. Then on migration day re-sync the files to the new server, ex/import the latest state of the DB, shutdown the old server, change the IP (find instructions on this in the docs or forums) of the new server to the one the old had and reboot.

        Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

          There’s a wiki article that walks you through migration:
