Moving to FOG 1.5.10

Sebastian Roth

@Kureebow Please run the commands ls -al and pwd in that directory to make sure we know what this is. Post output here.

Here are the results for ls - al

@Kureebow There is no FOG installer at all. Try this:

cd /root
ls -al fogproject

If you see “No file or directory” then:

git clone https://github.com/FOGproject/fogproject
cd fogproject/bin
./installfog.sh

BUT if you see files and directories listed from the first block of commands then post the output here and wait for our reply.

Kureebow

@Sebastian-Roth So I am alittle bit confused as I know fog is installed on this server as we have used it to image for about 2 years now. If I follow your second string of commands what issues will I encounter with what is working now? Just so I can let my supervisors know what is happening.

Thanks

Kureebow

@Sebastian-Roth I did get a “No file or directory” return from the first command.

Sebastian Roth

@Kureebow Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying FOG is not installed. We just have not found the installer folder that was used. This is not a problem! You can freshly download the installer and go ahead. But on the other hand I find it wise to try and find out if there is an old one sitting somewhere.

There is one more place often used you can check just to see if the FOG installer is there: ls -al /opt/fogproject

The FOG installer usually takes care of everything and things will work fine after running it. BUT I cannot guarantee for that!! There is always a chance of anything breaking as we don’t know all the custom changes someone might have done to the system.

In case anything goes wrong you just post here and we are happy to assist getting it fixed.

Kureebow

@Kureebow From the GUI I can see a folder following the file path /home/admin/fogproject-1.5.9 if this is of any value.

The command you listed returned “No such file or directory”

Sebastian Roth

@Kureebow Well, that might be it then: ls -al /home/admin/fogproject-1.5.9

@Kureebow Ok, this is an installer extracted from a tar archive. I suggest we just leave that for the moment and pull the fresh one via git. Run the following commands as root:

cd /root
git clone https://github.com/FOGproject/fogproject
cd fogproject/bin
./installfog.sh

Make sure there is no task running at the moment beforehand!

Kureebow

@Sebastian-Roth I may know the issue. I completely looked over your comment about making sure there were no tasks. I have copied the error logs for your confirmation. If that is the case I apologize moving too fast this morning.

fog_error_1.5.10.log

Sebastian Roth

@Kureebow I don’t think a running task can cause this issue! Let’s first check the disk is not full: df -h

Then check the DB status and log:

systemctl status mariadb.service
tail -n20 /var/log/mysql/*log*

The second command returned the following

tail: cannot open ‘/var/log/mysql/log’ for reading: No such file

Sebastian Roth

@Kureebow You missed the * on the tail command. Well let’s check the log file exists first.

ls - al /var/log/mysql

Disk space is fine.

Kureebow

@Sebastian-Roth No such file or directory

Sebastian Roth

@Kureebow Try this:

ls -al  /var/lib/mysql/
ls -al /var/log/mysql*
ps ax | grep -i -e mysql -e maria

Sebastian Roth

@Kureebow So there is no database running at the moment as seen from the last command, strange thing.

Try starting it: systemctl start mariadb.service

Kureebow

@Sebastian-Roth Didn’t get a return from that command but no error. I assume it worked.

root@localhost ~]# systemctl start mariadb.service
[root@localhost ~]#
