Setting up and building UDPCast...Failed!

When you set up Ubuntu did you create a user named FOG?

Are you able to Register the machine as a Host in the Web GUI? (sorry silly question just want to verify)

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 22717, member: 7271”]The log viewer messages are correct. That means the FOG Services are actually working now.

The upload issue worries me. You’re certain you can ftp to your fog server using the fog user and fog password?[/quote]

On the Windows 7 machine I tried to make an connection with FileZilla with <ip address> port: 22 and then the fogusername + password. That was okay, I could make a connect to the Ubuntu machine.

In an earlier stage I changed:
Something like this password to my fogusername + password. I hope that was correct?
define( “STORAGE_FTP_PASSWORD”, “98244f89651eaa2d2c84bd794ab9f60a” );

This evening Fog crashed and I had to install it again. Now it up and running again. With the same results, when I set the upload-task:

Unable to start task
Unable to upload file

I can’t remeber when I created a user named FOG.

What do you exactly?

While the fog FTP user is setup during install time I don’t think the password is correct which is why you’re seeing problems. You need to set the fog users password yourself with[code]sudo passwd fog[/code]. Then set the password in the GUI under both storage management and fog settings. Also, for future reference, port 22 is for ssh. Ports 20 and 21 are for FTP.

I remember it did this allready some days ago. Still the same result… (Unable to start task / Unable to upload file)

Do I set the password with this code to FTP, TFTP en MYSQL at the same time?

[code]sudo passwd fog[/code]

I wonder if it ever will start a task. I’m now several days working on it with the passwords and I do not get much further.

Tom Elliott · Feb 10, 2014, 9:56 PM

No just the storage node user and password and you fog settings tftpboot user and password. Nothing with either of the configuration files needs to be touched for this.

Tom Elliott · Feb 11, 2014, 12:30 PM

Just information here:

[code]sudo passwd fog[/code]

The code above changes the user fog on the FOG server. You’re setting the password. This is the user and password FTP uses when sending the PXE File and the Images to the /images folder.

The other “fog” user you’re referring to, if I’m understanding the information correctly, is the one you use to login to the FOG Web GUI with. This “fog” user is stored with the MYSQL Database. This is not your MYSQL_USERNAME or PASSWORD either. This is only for the FOG Web GUI login.

The last “user/password” I had you set earlier in the /opt/fog/service/etc/config.php and /var/www/fog/commons/config.php files is the MYSQL Database username and password. MYSQL has it’s own authentication mechanisms as well. This should be the root user and password, though you could assign any name and password.

Ubuntu_newby · Feb 11, 2014, 12:56 PM

Yes, I know. I don’t think you understand me or what is going wrong on my FOG server.

Ok. But what password I change. Nothing had changed in Fog. The only difference I see in FOG is this, after I set an upload task, is this:

With a wrong password:

Unable to start task
Unable to connect to tftp server.

With a correct password:

Unable to start task
Unable to upload file.

So thhe FOG server is not able to start the task either if the FTP password is wrong or correct.

Can you explain this?

Tom Elliott · Feb 11, 2014, 12:58 PM

Can you try setting up the task, and getting me some error logs directly after the task is created?

Ubuntu_newby · Feb 11, 2014, 1:00 PM

Where can I find these logs?

Tom Elliott · Feb 11, 2014, 1:07 PM

/var/log/apache2/error.log

Ubuntu_newby · Feb 11, 2014, 1:36 PM

Here is a part of the logfile. I don’t know where it actually starts setting the task:

Do you, by chance, have a firewall still turned on?

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 22776, member: 7271”]Do you, by chance, have a firewall still turned on?[/quote]

I don’t know. I have installed Ubuntu by default. Or do you mean on the Windows 7 machine?

Tom Elliott · Feb 11, 2014, 2:05 PM

No, from the ubuntu machine.

Can you run the command:
[code]sudo ufw disable[/code]

Then restart the FOG server?

Done! After restart the result is the same:

Unable to start task
Unable to upload file.

I send with this post an attachement of the error.log from reboot until the upload task. About 15:52 I started the upload task. Maybe you see more in this file. I wonder if you can find a solutionf for this problem, so I can finally make an image with FOG.

You could try :
[code]
chown -R fog:root /tftpboot[/code]

Could be a possibility that the rights aren’t correct on the folder.

Tom Elliott · Feb 11, 2014, 7:22 PM

Man, I always forget that one part

I have tried it, but still I have got the same answer:

Unable to start task
Unable to upload file.

If you want the errorlog, please let me know.

Tom Elliott · Feb 11, 2014, 7:25 PM

can you try ftping using the fog user and password you set with passwd fog before?

[code]ftp <IP OF FOG SERVER>[/code]

Login with the Fog Username and password.

See that it successfully connects.

Then try to cd to /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg
[code]cd /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg[/code]

Then Try to create a file there, if it even lets you get that far.
[code]mkdir test[/code]

Does it allow you to create the folder?
