error deploying windows 11

[robertkwild]

any news on this as all of a sudden its not working, ie i have to manually copy to /images from /images/dev

[Tom Elliott]

@robertkwild I, unfortunately, don’t have any news as I don’t quite understand why it’s creating a file instead of a folder.

If I recall, this used to be a file based system when Windows 7, and earlier were used (it’s been a long while though) and has long since been moved to folder based.

I’m not sure what answer I can say or give here.

Is there any way to know what actual version of FOG you’re currently running?

I can’t say I’ll figure out what’s wrong, but maybe somebody else has thoughts as well.

I’m 90% certain there’s something to do with the FTP statement, but unsure exactly what or why.

The other thing I think would help fix this would be to move to working-1.6 branch if you’re willing, but I realize that’s a huge ask, and may not really help fix the problem at hand.

I can say, with relative certainty at least, that if this was a completely widespread issue we’d have heard about this exactly issue many many more times. I am thinking there may be a PHP-FTP issue on your machine. Working-1.6 is setup, now, to attempt using straight SSH statements to copy and move files around, rather than FTP which should work more consistently (in theory.)

I realize the ask is large and probably overly much for the time being if this isn’t an approach you’d like to take.

@Tom-Elliott

when you say move to a working-1.6 branch what do you mean?

[Tom Elliott]

@robertkwild If you have the git installation method:

cd /opt
git clone https://github.com/fogproject/fogproject
cd fogproject
git checkout working-1.6
cd bin
sudo ./installfog.sh -y

Should do the trick.

(You don’t have to copy paste and everything, it’s just how I think of it all).

I don’t know how you installed originally or how you stay updated.

I am of the mind git is the easiest method as to get the lastest items you just have to cd to the install and run git pull

But that’s one developer’s opinion

Hope that helps?

@Tom-Elliott thanks Tom,I will try this, so how many versions are there of fog and where do I see the list of different versions please

[Tom Elliott]

@robertkwild There’s only one “stable” one “major/master” and then the one we’re working toward.

Technically there’s also “nightly” so 4 main versions:

• master branch = 1.5.10 (Currently) - Baseline for stable and current updates of the master.

• stable branch = 1.5.10.1634 (Currently) - This is considered (if you will in linux terms) LTS (we’re wanting 1.6 to come out but in the mean time we still need to keep things up and running of the stuff most people are using.)

• dev-branch branch = 1.5.10.x >= 1634 (currently) - This is where we do updates for issues found/reported/ and hopeful fixes to go into the next release of stable. This is what I would call “nightly” but it’s not quite bleeding edge either as this is just holding fixes for hte 1.5.10 and later versions.

• working-1.6 branch = 1.6. This is what some might consider alpha/beta (all working branches will be intended in this manner at least) in that it is where it’s the fully latest bleeding where we hope and want to get to with fog.

@Tom-Elliott Hi Tom, Im on stable

Latest Version:
1.5.10.1634

Latest Development Version:
1.5.10.1639

i get above on the login screen and below on the fog configuration page

You’re running the latest stable version: 1.5.10.1634

so your saying go to alpha/beta?

[robertkwild]

@Tom-Elliott sorry took my time in replying back tom my bad

in the end i updated my stable to the latest 1.5.10.1650 and now when i capture the image it saves it as a folder not a file

[Tom Elliott]

@robertkwild I’m suspecting there may have been a php module update that FTP was working similarly to a found issue in 1.6 and they finally addressed that. I apologize for not thinking of it sooner and glad it’s working. To my knowledge, we didn’t change anything regarding the Folder/File issue, so much appreciated in letting us know it’s working for you now.

[robertkwild]

@Tom-Elliott looks like i have to update my fog to 1.6 instead of 1.5 as i thought i resolved it by updating fog to the latest 1.5 but the error is still there on 1.5, i thought it went at first as when i made my first image it saved as a folder but on my second capture its saving as a file again
